In reality, no team ever really knows whether it's made the right decision with its general manager, head coach, or roster until time passes and the results play out. Only then can one sit back and evaluate what went down and if it was the "right" or "wrong" decision.

The New York Giants are one of many NFL teams facing this conundrum as they sort through an extensive list of head coaching candidates, some with strong track records and others with small or no sample sizes at this level. And this becomes a more critical choice when you consider the organization's frustrations over the past decade.

John Harbaugh, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, may very well be the unanimous choice as the most sought-after head coaching free agent and would bring the complete package to his new job, according to NFL game analyst Charles Davis of CBS Sports and SiriusXM NFL Radio.

"Here's what I like about John Harbaugh - it's that he knows football," Davis told the Big Blue Breakdown podcast in an exclusive interview.

"He coached [as a] head coach, [the] secondary, has a big-picture view, and was raised in the sport, as we well know. ... This is a ball coach extraordinaire through and through. 

“Excellent assistant coach on the collegiate level, head coach on the collegiate level, won a national championship with Western Kentucky in [Division] 1-AA, you name it. 

“If you spend time with him, you're struck by him. And I'm speaking from experience: it's been a fantastic experience watching Jim Harbaugh and John's practices alongside their father, Jack Harbaugh.”
