Stephen A. Smith did not hold back when addressing the New York Giants' decision to hire John Harbaugh and the optics surrounding the coach's first publicized team meeting.
On First Take, Smith made clear he respects Harbaugh's track record and believes the veteran coach deserves an NFL head-coaching job. Yet he framed the Giants' move as evidence of a desperate franchise.
The team handed Harbaugh a five-year, $100 million contract that ranks among the richest in the league and granted him the unusual authority to report directly to ownership rather than general manager Joe Schoen.
