Harbaugh is entering his first season as the Giants' head coach. The former Super Bowl champion's arrival has brought a renewed standard of excellence to the team's coaching staff—one praised by former coaches and 2026 NFL draft prospects alike.
Dart, a finalist for the 2025 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, completed 63.7 percent of his passes for 2,272 yards last season, with a 15-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He also contributed 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.
The partnership between Harbaugh and the 22-year-old quarterback will be central to the Giants' success in 2026.
During a recent appearance on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast, Dart expressed excitement about Harbaugh's positive view of his playing style and how it has fueled his anticipation for the upcoming season under the 18-year head coach.
“He loves the way that I play the game,” Dart said. “And I think that was one thing that kind of drew our relationship from a competitive standpoint. Like, he knows how much I love the sport, how passionate I am to go out there and compete at a high level, and he’s the exact same way. So, I can’t wait to play for a coach like him, who instills a relentless mindset—from his coaching staff to his players to the whole organization.”
Harbaugh and Dart now have the offseason to build chemistry ahead of training camp in July.
Dart’s comments about the mutual respect between them offer encouraging signs for the franchise as it aims to field an even stronger team in 2026.
