Overview
- Owners John Mara and Steve Tisch made the move official less than 72 hours after a lengthy interview and dinner that capped an intensive recruitment.
- Harbaugh visited the facility, flew on Steve Tisch’s plane, and spoke with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart during the courtship.
- Reporting indicates a multi-year contract commonly described as five years with top-tier pay, though the team has not disclosed terms.
- Harbaugh is expected to work under a structure where he reports to ownership rather than general manager Joe Schoen.
- Early focus includes assembling a staff—Todd Monken is a candidate to follow from Baltimore—and leveraging the No. 5 draft pick to bolster a roster that Harbaugh inherits after 18 seasons and a Super Bowl title with the Ravens.
