When the news dropped that the New York Giants were signing John Harbaugh to be their next head coach, it was met with fanfare.
Jaxson Dart and Co. Have a head coach with skins on the wall in the NFL, one who has a history of winning and making it to the playoffs regularly.
Something the Giants have struggled with for years.
It was reported that Dart was a big reason for Harbaugh's decision to come to New York, and it is easy to see why. The Giants seem to have found their guy.
But what are Jaxson's expectations under Harbaugh? In short, lofty.
"Winning," Dart said via ESPN. "A whole lot of winning. That's it."

Harbaugh and Dart aiming to buck Giants trend
Since 2016, the Giants have had just one season with more than six wins (nine in 2022) and, since they won the Super Bowl in 2011, have made the playoffs just twice.
That is what Dart and Harbaugh are trying to buck.
Granted, it won't be an overnight fix (although it might as we have seen in New England), but the pieces are there from a roster standpoint, and now having a head coach who brings instant credibility to the franchise, the offseason is off to a good start.
Of course, there will be dips in this journey, but the Giants appear to be in the best situation in decades.
Time will tell if Harbaugh can really turn this ship around.
