As part of his speech, he mentioned his recent firing from the Baltimore Ravens.

Harbaugh, who was quickly hired by the Giants as their coach in January, lightheartedly used it as an example of resilience during his 16-minute speech.

"There's going to be tough times. They're going to show up, too. You might get a call with some bad news. Maybe about your job. Maybe they'll tell you they don't want you anymore. Time to move on," he said with a chuckle. "It happens. In those moments, I hope you'll find resilience. And you'll be able to rejoice in all the good you'll still have. And all the people who still care for you. That you'll come to understand that there is a great opportunity on the next horizon of your life. And you can still walk together into every uncertain future with the people you love."
