The Giants had already been making their push for Harbaugh last week as well when general manager Joe Shoen spoke with the highly coveted head coach on Thursday, the same day Harbaugh spoke with other interested teams.
A number of franchises have expressed interest in wooing Harbaugh to coach their respective teams and on Monday, he spoke with the Falcons’ new president of football, Matt Ryan, over the phone in what was later revealed to be an exploratory call.
Harbaugh has reportedly also had calls with the Titans, Browns, Raiders and Cardinals.
Monday’s call had been the Falcons attempt to get into the ballgame with Harbaugh in the early stages of his process.
The Giants are among those getting an in-person meeting with Harbaugh, though no formal interviews have been scheduled yet.
