Jim Harbaugh Predicts Brother John Will Coach Next Season as Interest Surges

John Harbaugh has drawn calls from seven teams, underscoring a fast-moving search across seven NFL vacancies.

Overview

  • The Ravens dismissed John Harbaugh after 18 seasons that included a Super Bowl title and 12 playoff berths.
  • Jim Harbaugh said he was surprised by the decision, asserted John will be a head coach in 2026, and voiced a preference for him to land in the NFC.
  • John’s agent told ESPN seven teams reached out shortly after the firing, signaling widespread interest across a market with seven openings.
  • Betting odds and media reports have placed the Giants among early favorites for Harbaugh, though no decision has been made as teams evaluate fits.
  • A Raiders pursuit is viewed by some as less likely because it would set up twice-yearly matchups with Jim in the AFC West, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
