New York Giants fans are panicking after the most recent John Harbaugh update.
The New York Giants met with John Harbaugh on Wednesday, hoping they would be able to secure a deal to make him their new head coach.
The Giants wine-and-dined Harbaugh throughout the day and evidently enjoyed a tremendous meeting with the 63-year-old, and it seems pretty obvious that the former Baltimore Ravens coach is quite enamored with quarterback Jaxson Dart.
However, Harbaugh left New Jersey without a contract, which has Big Blue fans panicking.
Based on how just about everything has gone wrong for New York over the last decade, it's hard to blame the fan base for breaking the emergency glass.
But realistically speaking, everyone needs to relax: this is how the game is played.
The Giants are not the only team courting Harbaugh. The Atlanta Falcons spoke with him over the phone on Monday, and Harbaugh is also meeting with the Tennessee Titans at his home in Baltimore on Thursday.
Harbaugh is allowed to speak with other teams, and quite frankly, he should. It's all part of the process, and he would be silly not to explore all of his options.
Ian O'Connor of The Athletic painted the picture pretty well.

Close to zero. And that has nothing to do with the Giants,'" O'Connor wrote. "The source said Harbaugh felt the need to meet with at least one other finalist before making his decision."
As he very well should, but based on how well Harbaugh's meeting with the Giants apparently went, there is every reason to be confident that he will take the New York job.
Not only that, but ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that Harbaugh is expected to become Big Blue's head coach, barring any setbacks.
There really is nothing the Titans can offer that the Giants can't, unless Tennessee provides him with a substantially better contract.
Yes, the Titans have their own young quarterback in Cam Ward, but Dart looked considerably better than Ward this past season, and it's fair to say that New York has more supporting talent than Tennessee as a whole.
While the Giants may have gone just 4-13 in 2025, they were very competitive for most of the season, and that was in spite of having one of the NFL's toughest schedules, to boot.
Not only that, but winning in the Big Apple is far different than winning in Music City. Sorry, but it's the truth.
Harbaugh will meet with the Titans and might like what he hears, but it would honestly be shocking if he didn't ultimately become the next head coach of the New York Giants.
