Trump urges John Harbaugh to take the Giants head coaching job following stunning Ravens firing

The Baltimore Ravens and HC John Harbaugh have split after 18 seasons. Colin Cowherd discusses the news and asks if this was the right decision for both parties.

President Donald Trump offered the New York Giants and John Harbaugh each some advice on Saturday.

Trump took to social media to encourage the Giants to hire Harbaugh "without question" as their next head coach.

"The New York Football Giants should hire, without question, John Harbaugh – And John, a great guy, should TAKE THE JOB!!!" Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday.

It is the second time in recent days that Trump has posted in social media to comment on Harbaugh, as on Wednesday he called the former Baltimore Ravens coach a total winner.

"HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST," the president wrote in a Truth Social post on Wednesday morning. "HE, AND HIS BROTHER, ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!" 

The Ravens stunningly fired Harbaugh on Tuesday, ending a highly successful 18-season run. The team won six AFC North titles, appeared in four AFC Championship Games and won a Super Bowl under the 63-year-old.

The Ravens finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion, as kicker Tyler Loop’s game-winning field goal attempt sailed wide right. After the disappointing season, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti fired Harbaugh.
