There's a thrilling showdown going on between Ole Miss and Miami right now in the College Football Playoff, but leave it to NY Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart to have everyone talking. While the majority of the focus is on the CFP action, Dart may have just dropped a major coaching hint.

As we all know, the New York Giants are on the hunt for a new leader, as Brian Daboll was fired during the middle of the season and Mike Kafka won't be getting the full-time role. While at the Fiesta Bowl, the ESPN cameras appear to have caught Dart talking about the opening, with lip readers convinced he mentioned both Kevin Stefanski and John Harbaugh as main options for the G-Men. Interesting:
“Stefanski” is a pretty distinct word… https://t.co/tpzCYcYBem

We're not pro lip readers either, but come on, it sure looks like Dart didn't hesitate in saying both Stefanski and Harbaugh. The two candidates have been heavily linked to the Giants, as Stefanski was fired by Cleveland and Harbaugh was shockingly let go by the Ravens.
With the Dolphins just firing Mike McDaniel too, another big-time opening has arrived, which might speed up the process here for the Giants and general manager Joe Schoen. It goes without saying, but Schoen is going to have to knock this next hire out of the park.
Giants fans are tired of being patient with him, as awful decisions in the NFL Draft also have people livid with him. Dart impressed during his rookie year, but injuries got in the way of him fully taking off. Bringing in either Harbaugh or Stefanski sure would help with his development. If Big Blue goes in either direction, Dart looks like he'll be fully on board with either of them taking over for the Giants.
