Harbaugh is quite familiar with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross — who is close with Harbaugh’s brother Jim, because of their Michigan ties. But ultimately, John Harbaugh needs to feel comfortable with Miami’s GM. Along those lines, here’s what ESPN’s Jeff Darlington noted:

From family connections to Cleveland to Jimmy Haslam's open checkbook, the Browns have compelling reasons to believe they can lure the Super Bowl-winning coach.

For more than a few of the playoff teams, there’s no way Harbaugh would be a consideration. The Broncos and Seahawks, obviously, will be standing pat. Ditto for the likes of the Patriots, Chargers (that would be a very awkward phone call), Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Bears, and Texans.

Curiously, Jeff Hafley — a New Jersey native — hasn’t received an interview request from the Giants. He does have requests from the Titans, Cardinals and Falcons — with the possibility looming that his head coach, Matt LaFleur, could get fired if the Packers lose to the Bears on Saturday.

The New York Giants have emerged as significant betting favorites to land John Harbaugh as their next head coach.

When the Baltimore Ravens missed the postseason, it was enough to push the front office to a breaking point. John Harbaugh was let go, and Baltimore didn’t waste much time getting back to work.

The Falcons are looking to hire a president of football for an organizational reset after firing General Manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris.

John Harbaugh is reportedly a "big admirer" of New York Giants co-owner John Mara and "intrigued" by rookie QB Jaxson Dart.
