Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Ravens have fired long-time HC John Harbaugh on Tuesday.
This is surprising news, even though there had been talk about Harbaugh’s job security in Baltimore after failing to make the playoffs.
According to Jordan Schultz, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti had grown frustrated with Harbaugh’s lack of playoff success in recent years.
Harbaugh has come up as a potential option for Giants in recent days in the event he became available. However, you can expect there to be a lot of interest in him from the other six teams with head-coaching vacancies.
Harbaugh, 63, began his NFL coaching career with the Eagles in 1998 as their special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach. He spent 10 years in Philadelphia before he was hired as the Ravens’ head coach in 2008.
Harbaugh has been in Baltimore ever since and was the first Ravens coach to be named Coach of the Year following the 2019 season. He was handed a three-year extension through 2025 before the 2022 season, then signed another three-year extension this past offseason.
During his 18 years with the team, Harbaugh has led the Ravens to a record of 180–112 (0.616 winning percentage), which includes 12 playoff appearances and one Super Bowl championship in 2012. He has a record of 13-11 in the playoffs.
