Ravens Shock NFL: John Harbaugh Now Available
7 Jan
Summary
- John Harbaugh fired by Ravens after 18 seasons
- Harbaugh achieved 180 wins, fourth-best in NFL
- 26 blown double-digit leads ultimately doomed tenure
John Harbaugh has been dismissed as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons. His departure comes two days after a critical loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. During his tenure, Harbaugh amassed 180 wins, placing him fourth in the NFL for that period, and led the Ravens to a Super Bowl XLVII victory. His 13 playoff wins tie for seventh-most in NFL history.
Despite his successes, Harbaugh's tenure was also marked by a significant number of blown double-digit leads. The article notes 26 such instances since 2008, with twelve occurring in the last five seasons. This trend, culminating in a recent 10-0 lead squandered against the Steelers, appears to have been the decisive factor in the Ravens' decision.
Harbaugh's availability now makes him arguably the most sought-after coach in the current NFL hiring cycle. Potential landing spots include the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, and Miami Dolphins, each offering unique opportunities and challenges.
