US EditionAnalysis: The Stakes Are High as the Ravens Move on From the Stability of the Harbaugh Era
Owner Steve Bisciotti fired Harbaugh after an 8-9 season and playoff miss, ending a record 18-year tenure with 180 wins and a Super Bowl title.
- On Tuesday, the Baltimore Ravens dismissed their Super Bowl-winning head coach John Harbaugh following their season-ending 26-24 loss at Pittsburgh, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti saying he chose to 'make a change at head coach'.
- After a disappointing 8-9 season, the Ravens faced pressure despite Derrick Henry's addition and strong rushing and scoring, while contract and future discussions about John Harbaugh simmered for seasons.
- Harbaugh departs with a 180-113 regular-season record and a 13-11 playoff record, holding an NFL record of eight road playoff wins and a.614 career winning percentage.
- The firing immediately creates one of seven NFL coaching vacancies, and ESPN reported Harbaugh's agent fielded seven calls, signaling potential coaching carousel and franchise strategy shifts.
- Analysts say the Ravens head-coaching job is the best opening since the 2020 Cowboys or 2019 Packers, raising questions if Harbaugh's availability will push other NFL franchises considering coaching changes to act.
