The Baltimore Ravens had another strong season cut short following a heartbreaking loss on the road to the Bills in the Divisional Round.
Not much is expected to change in 2025: only four full-time starters are free agents and OC Todd Monken is likely to return as six of seven HC openings have been filled. One of the bigger decisions for Baltimore this offseason is getting a new deal done with HC John Harbaugh, whoโs entering the final year of his current contract.
Despite another year where they didnโt reach the Super Bowl, Harbaugh isnโt worried about his future with the team and will let the situation handle itself.
โIโm happy, and however that goes, I trust God,โ Harbaugh said, via ESPNโs Jamison Hensley. โI trust the people I work with every day who I love, who are my friends, but more importantly, weโre on a mission together, and as long as that goes, as long as God permits that to go, Iโm all about it. Iโm fired up for it, and Iโm not worried about those kinds of things. They take care of themselves.โ
While Baltimore needs a championship to get over the hump, Harbaugh is proud of the organization for the state they are in and knows they are able to win a title.
โIf you look at our team this year and in the past, for the past 17 years, you donโt see us getting blown out. You donโt see us falling apart. Youโre either in a game or in the season. You always see us fighting back. I think that is the real measuring stick; not the narrative that, โYou canโt do this, you canโt do that.โ
โAnd you keep striving forward to stack those games together and put three or four really good games together, error-free games together, and go ahead and win a Super Bowl. And when you do that, itโs really a great accomplishment. So, weโre capable of doing that. We put ourselves into position to do that, and weโll keep striving for that. So, if Iโve learned anything, Iโve learned that.โ
Harbaugh, 62, 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 Ravensโ 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.
During his 17 years with the team, Harbaugh has led the Ravens to a record of 172โ104 (62.3 percent), which includes 12 playoff appearances and one Super Bowl championship in 2012.
