Overview
- The Ravens opened a search for only the fourth head coach in franchise history, with reported names including Jesse Minter, Brian Flores, Klint Kubiak, Joe Brady, Kliff Kingsbury and Vance Joseph.
- ESPN reported Harbaugh’s agent received seven inquiries within 45 minutes of the news, and The Athletic’s Diana Russini said some calls came from teams that still have head coaches.
- Harbaugh leaves as Baltimore’s winningest coach with a 180-113 record, 13 playoff victories and six division titles, including a Super Bowl title.
- The dismissal came two days after a loss to the Steelers that eliminated Baltimore from playoff contention and capped an 8-9 season.
- The timing intersects with Lamar Jackson’s looming $74.5 million cap charge, raising questions about his next contract and potential staff changes, according to ESPN reporting.
