They won the sweepstakes. Lucky bastards


The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports a “key pressure point” in John Harbaugh’s firing was “his refusal to entertain” moving on from OC Todd Monken.

In other words, ownership wanted to make some changes there. John Harbaugh wanted to run it back. It’s probably not the only reason that the Ravens moved on from the the 63-year-old Super Bowl champion, but it happened to be a big one. Monken had reportedly interviewed for the Michigan head coach job, among others, and is still regarded highly across the football landscape. Russini also reports that Kliff Kingsbury is “a name to watch” in Baltimore.

Now if Rooney can get smart and follow his other owners

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti officially announced that the team has fired head coach John Harbaugh on Tuesday.

Initial reports that Harbaugh would not return to the team for the 2026 season varied in language about the nature of his departure, but Bisciotti made it clear in a statement that the decision was made by the team.

“Following a comprehensive evaluation of the season and the overall direction of our organization, I decided to make a change at head coach,” Bisciotti said. “Today I informed John that he has been relieved of his duties. This was an incredibly difficult decision, given the tremendous 18 years we have spent together and the profound respect I have for John as a coach and, most importantly, as a great man of integrity.”

Bisciotti said Harbaugh built a “Hall of Fame coaching career” during his 18 years with the Ravens and said the team will always be grateful to a coach he called “a steadfast pillar of humility and leadership.” Bisciotti then pivoted to what’s next for the Ravens.

“Our goal has always been and will always be to win Championships,” Bisciotti said. “We strive to consistently perform at the highest level on the field and be a team and organization our fans take pride in. . . . We now begin the challenging, but exciting, process of identifying the next leader of our football team. We fully understand the expectations of our fans and everyone in the Ravens organization. Finding another strong leader and partner who will reflect these high standards is paramount.”

There will certainly be more to come about the Raven’s search for that leader in the days to come and Harbaugh is expected to be a target of attention from other teams in the market for a head coach this offseason.

See, that could have happened, but didn't.

Because Harbaugh was shown the door, the below proves why Tomlin should be fired too :D


Mike Tomlin holds the edge over John Harbaugh in their head-to-head rivalry and overall wins, with Tomlin leading regular season and playoff matchups, though Harbaugh boasts a Super Bowl win and recent playoff success compared to Tomlin's consistent .500+ seasons, creating a classic coaching duel in the AFC North with Tomlin generally ahead in series wins but Harbaugh winning big games.

Head-to-Head (Tomlin vs. Harbaugh)

Overall: Mike Tomlin's record against the Ravens is 23-18, while Harbaugh's is 17-22 against Pittsburgh, with Tomlin leading the rivalry by a significant margin in their many matchups.

Regular Season: Tomlin leads the regular season series against Harbaugh.

Playoffs: The rivalry is nearly even in postseason play, with both coaches splitting their playoff encounters.

Overall Coaching Records & Styles

Mike Tomlin (Steelers): Known for never having a losing season and consistently competitive teams, with a strong record as an underdog.

John Harbaugh (Ravens): A Super Bowl winner (2012) with a strong overall winning percentage, but with some less-than-stellar seasons mixed in, though he has shown recent playoff success.

Key Takeaway

Tomlin generally has the better overall record and edge in the rivalry's regular season, but Harbaugh has achieved major championship success (Super Bowl) and often finds ways to win crucial, high-stakes games, making it one of the NFL's most enduring coaching rivalries.

Yeah when you have a losing record against crappy ass Tomlin it’s time to move on.

I’ll miss rooting against the whiny bitch

Now have to hope Decosta (and probably Ozzie) fuck up the hire.

Scheffter leaning Flores but I’ll guess Jesse Minter or Anthony Weaver

Hire Kingsbury as OC

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

In the first 45 minutes after John Harbaugh was fired this afternoon, his agent Bryan Harlan said he received calls from seven NFL teams expressing interest in his client.

There currently are seven NFL head coach openings, including Baltimore’s.

This is perfect.

Stefanski will get his choice of jobs.

He’s going to shine outside of Cleveland.

Mike Tomlin 19 seasons - playoff wins in 4 of those seasons.
John Harbaugh 18 seasons - playoff wins in 10 of those seasons.

Overall playoff record

Tomlin: 8-11
Harbaugh: 13-11

I’ve been hearing that the Giants covet Harbaugh.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is “expected to emerge as a favorite” for the Giants’ head coaching vacancy.

As expected, Harbaugh is the top head coaching candidate on the market just moments after his firing. The Giants have been looking for a head coach since firing Brian Daboll midseason and now Schefter reports Harbaugh is expected to be the favorite for their open position. Schefter also reports that seven teams called Harbaugh’s agent, Bryan Harlan, with interest in hiring him within moments of his firing. Suffice to say, Harbaugh is a hot candidate on the head coaching market and the Giants are immediately a team to watch in the coming weeks
