John Harbaugh announces 2026 Giants coaching staff

COACHING-STAFF-2026

John Harbaugh has announced his inaugural staff as head coach of the New York Football Giants.

His coordinators are Matt Nagy (offense), Dennard Wilson (defense) and Chris Horton (special teams), who will also serve as assistant head coach.

Nagy, voted the 2018 Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year after his first season with the Bears, is one of two former NFL head coaches on staff. The other is Brian Callahan, who will be the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Jaxson Dart after serving as head coach of the Tennessee Titans.

"First of all, as my dad always would teach us, great coaches are great teachers," Harbaugh said. "When putting together a staff, I look for the ability to create a vision and share the vision and to get everybody on the same page in your room, guys that are demanding, guys that ask a lot of the guys in terms of a high standard. And, also, believe them into that standard, help them believe in themselves to make sure that every player knows that every coach is really in their corner."

After leading Chicago to a 34-31 record and two postseason appearances, including a division title, Nagy returned to Kansas City in 2022 and helped the organization to back-to-back Super Bowl titles. He also reunited with Patrick Mahomes, whom he helped develop starting from the time he was a rookie in 2017 (Nagy's first season as offensive coordinator).

Wilson brings 14 years of NFL coaching experience, including two seasons as the Titans' defensive coordinator. During Wilson's first year in Tennessee, the defense ranked second in yards allowed. The 2024 Titans also finished second in passing defense.

Prior to Tennessee, Wilson spent nine seasons leading defensive back units, including stints with the Rams (2015-16), Jets (2019-20), Eagles (2021-22) and Ravens (2023). In Baltimore, he worked under Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, who recently led the Seahawks to a victory in Super Bowl LX in his second season as head coach.

Horton spent 12 consecutive seasons on Harbaugh's staff in Baltimore, including the last seven as special teams coordinator. He helped coach numerous players to the Pro Bowl, including long snapper Morgan Cox, return specialist Devin Duvernay, kicker Justin Tucker and punter Sam Koch. Harbaugh entered the NFL ranks as a special teams coordinator in 1998 with Philadelphia.

Fifteen of the coaches previously worked under Harbaugh with the Ravens – Wilson, Horton, Megan Rosburg (assistant to the head coach/defensive assistant), Brendan Clark (defensive quality control), Donald D'Alesio (defensive pass game coordinator), Brian Ellis (assistant strength coach), Dennis Johnson (defensive line), Matt Pees (assistant linebackers), Noah Riley (football analyst/quality control), Matt Robinson (assistant defensive line), Greg Roman (senior offensive assistant), Adam Schrack (offensive quality control), Ron Shrift (director of strength and conditioning), Willie Taggart (running backs) and T.J. Weist (assistant special teams).

Shrift has nine seasons of NFL experience, all spent with the Ravens. In his role with the Ravens, Shrift helped lead all sports science, speed, strength training and recovery initiatives. He originally joined the Ravens after spending several years working at Power Train Sports, a sports performance and fitness training facility in Pennsylvania. Ellis, who was most recently the assistant director of athletics performance at Baylor University, also worked with Shrift and Harbaugh in Baltimore.

Harbaugh retained three position coaches from the Giants' previous staff – Charlie Bullen (run game coordinator/outside linebackers), Tim Kelly (tight ends) and Chad Hall (wide receivers).

Bullen, who now has the added duty of coordinating the run defense, and Kelly have been with the team since 2024 and served as interim coordinators down the final stretch of last season. Hall, meanwhile, spent 2025 as the Giants' assistant quarterbacks coach. He will return to leading receivers, a position he played in the NFL before coaching them with the Jaguars (2023-24) and Bills (2019-22).

In the Strength and Conditioning/Performance department, six coaches were also retained – Aaron Wellman (executive director of player performance), Chris Allen (assistant strength and conditioning coach), Sam Coad (performance manager/assistant strength and conditioning coach), Matthew Frakes (director of performance nutrition), Mark Naylor (assistant strength and conditioning coach), and Drew Wilson (assistant director of strength and conditioning).

"All the coaches that we retained are great coaches, great guys, highly recommended from the people here in the building, but also around the league," Harbaugh said. "It could have been more. I mean, there's a lot of great coaches on this staff previously, guys that we have great respect for, but you also want to bring in new guys and guys that you've known over the years. So, you just try to kind of create the best mix to build the best team of coaches that you possibly can. I just really feel fortunate and blessed that those three guys are still with us."

Harbaugh was named the 21st head coach of the Giants on Jan. 17 and thus began the arduous task of assembling a staff. It was the first time he started anew since 2008, which kicked off his decorated 18-year run in Baltimore.

Key to the process was Megan Rosburg, who had served as assistant to the head coach in Baltimore since 2022. She helped Harbaugh in all areas, including football operations, scheduling, communications and staff management. Additionally, Rosburg worked with the defensive line and outside linebackers for the past four seasons, officially adding defensive assistant to her title in 2024.

"Megan Rosburg, our most valuable coach, definitely our most valuable coach right now," Harbaugh said. "She's been doing a great job of keeping me organized and also she understands the tenor of what we're trying to accomplish. She knows the value system right now. She knows what we're looking for, and she sets a good foundation for us."

Meet the coaches who are part of John Harbaugh's inaugural staff with the New York Giants.

In 2022, Mahomes set franchise records for passing yards (5,250) and 300-yard games (10). Mahomes led the league in many categories, including passing yards, passing touchdowns (41), passing touchdown percentage (6.3 percent), passing first downs (272), and pass plays of 25+ yards (49).

In total, Nagy coached nine seasons with the Chiefs, including five as offensive coordinator. He was part of three Super Bowl appearances with the Chiefs, including victories in Super Bowls LVII and LVIII.

In his first year with the Chiefs, Nagy coached Alex Smith to a league-low seven interceptions with a minimum of 300 attempts and a 1.4 interception percentage, also the lowest in the NFL. Smith earned his first Pro Bowl selection following his first season with the Chiefs in 2013.

Outside of his time leading the Bears, Nagy has spent his entire coaching career under Andy Reid, who once upon a time retained an up-and-coming coach named John Harbaugh with the Eagles in 1999.

Born in Plainfield, N.J., Nagy played collegiately at Delaware, setting more than 20 career passing records at the time, including passing yards (8,214) and touchdowns (58). He ranked second for most attempts and completions behind former Delaware star Joe Flacco, who went on to play under Harbaugh and was named MVP of Baltimore's Super Bowl XLVII victory.

Nagy played six seasons in the Arena Football League for the New York Dragons (2002), Carolina Cobras (2004), Georgia Force (2005-06), and Columbus Destroyers (2007-08). During his career, he completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 18,866 yards, 374 touchdowns, and a quarterback rating of 115.1.
