John Harbaugh to Giants, Coaching Dominoes & College Basketball Scandal

On today’s Thursday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page, The Big Story centers on the breaking news that John Harbaugh has agreed to become the next head coach of the New York Giants. New York finally lands its man — but Jason raises important questions about the coaching staff Harbaugh brings with him, and whether those choices could shape the Giants’ future just as much as the hire itself.Sam Yarnell weighs in with his take on the Harbaugh hire, and it might be in the minority. The conversation also turns to the NFL coaching carousel, as the guys speculate on which big-name coach could be next to find a landing spot now that Harbaugh is off the board.The show then welcomes Bruce Beck, longtime NBC 4 New York sports anchor, who has covered New York sports — and the Giants — for over 30 years. Bruce shares his perspective on the Harbaugh hire, what it means for the franchise, and how it could impact the development of Jaxson Dart and the young Giants roster.College basketball takes center stage next, as a night full of stunning upsets is overshadowed by breaking federal indictments in a point-shaving scandal that could rock the sport. Jason and Sam react to the news and discuss what it could mean for college hoops moving forward.The conversation then shifts to Major League Baseball, where the offseason continues with Spring Training just a month away. The guys break down the Red Sox signing that significantly upgrades their rotation, take a look at the remaining big-name free agents, and ask a familiar question: are the Yankees really going to sit this offseason out?The show wraps with Odds & Ends, featuring Jason’s thoughts on a couple of notable ankle sprains from Wednesday night, while Sam revisits the ongoing conversation surrounding Jacksonville reporter Lynn Jones and why the story continues to linger.All that and more on a packed Thursday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page.
