Blue and white smoke has finally emanated from East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The New York Giants and John Harbaugh have completed a deal to make him the team's next head coach, days after they agreed to join forces. His five-year package is expected to be worth in the neighborhood of $100 million, according to multiple reports.

"I want to thank (owners) John Mara, Steve Tisch, Chris Mara, and (GM) Joe Schoen for the opportunity to lead the New York Giants ," Harbaugh said in a statement Saturday night. "To serve as this franchise's head coach is a tremendous honor. I come from a football family, and I have deep respect for the history and tradition of this organization.

"I'm excited to begin assembling our staff and getting to work building our team. I would like to sincerely thank Steve Bisciotti and the Baltimore Ravens organization for 18 remarkable years, including the opportunity to become a head coach in the National Football League.

"My family and I are grateful for the welcome we've already felt, and we look forward to becoming part of the Giants family."

A news conference is scheduled for Tuesday.

Schoen led the coaching search that quickly led the organization to Harbaugh.

"Joe Schoen presented us an outstanding group of candidates, which allowed us to be deliberate and confident in this decision," said John Mara, the Giants' president.

"Through numerous conversations, John consistently stood out for his conviction and vision for leading a winning organization, and we welcome him and his family to the Giants."

Harbaugh led the Baltimore Ravens to 12 playoff berths, six AFC North titles and one Super Bowl victory in his 18 seasons in Charm City. His record, including postseason, is 193-124.
