On Friday, New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh finalized his coaching staff for the 2026 season.
For Harbaugh’s for season with the Giants, his coordinators will be Matt Nagy (offense), Dennard Wilson (defense) and Chris Horton (special teams), who will also serve as assistant head coach.
“First of all, as my dad always would teach us, great coaches are great teachers,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “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.
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.
