With the New York Giants searching for their next head coach, the man they fired has offered the team a suggestion.
New York canned Brian Daboll in the middle of the season after he suffered a third-straight losing campaign.
His record of 20-40-1 was more than demanding of a re-set, but Daboll now appears to have suggested a new target to go after.
According to Ian O’Connor of The Athletic, Daboll personally phoned up former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh to advocate on behalf of the Giants.
The report indicates that Daboll hinted to the former Baltimore man that a partnership with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart could prove to be fruitful.
Harbaugh was the second-longest actively tenured head coach in the NFL right before he was fired for missing the playoffs.

At 18 seasons, Harbaugh was only behind Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin for the longest tenure at one team. Tomlin himself has since been fired from his post.
The Ravens lost the final game of the season to the Steelers on a missed field goal to shut them out of the postseason.
Harbaugh has begun to line up interviews as he ponders his future among the eight other NFL teams that are in search of coaches.
In addition to the Giants, Ravens and Steelers, the Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders are all looking for new coaches.
So far, Harbaugh has only set up an interview with Atlanta – which was completed on Monday.
