John Harbaugh is no longer the boss of the Baltimore Ravens, ending the run of the most successful head coach in the organization’s history.
Harbaugh’s exit came 48 hours after Baltimore was defeated by the Steelers as his team missed a last-second FG, which cost them their place in the postseason for the 1st time since 2021. He had inked a 3-year contract in the past offseason and was under deal through the 2028 campaign.
Multiple franchises with head-coach openings now will readjust their boards and will do everything possible to try to hire him.
The 64-year-old John ranks 12th in all-time wins by a head coach in league history with 193, and triumphed in the Super Bowl in 2012 with Baltimore. Harbaugh spent 18 campaigns with the Ravens, which means that he is the 2nd-longest active tenured coach in the NFL behind Mike Tomlin, who is in his 19th campaign with Pittsburgh.
But John disappointed with Baltimore in the past few years given the fact that he had 2-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. In 8 years with Lamar, he only triumphed in 3 postseason matches.

After 18 seasons, a Super Bowl XLVII title, and over 180 wins, the winningest coach in franchise history is out in Baltimore.
