Overview
- At his first news conference since the move, the Ravens owner said repeated fourth‑quarter collapses and postseason underachievement drove the decision, which he said he finalized after the Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh by trusting his instincts.
- Bisciotti apologized for dismissing Harbaugh over the phone, calling it a logistical choice made after both had left the facility, and said the emotional conversation ended with Harbaugh consoling him.
- Baltimore has completed first‑round interviews and is narrowing to four or five finalists for in‑person meetings, with candidates including Vance Joseph, Davis Webb, Klint Kubiak, Kevin Stefanski, Matt Nagy, Kliff Kingsbury, Anthony Weaver and Brian Flores.
- Bisciotti consulted veteran players before acting and emphasized that Jackson will be consulted throughout the search, noting DeCosta has been texting him after interviews but reiterating Jackson holds no hiring authority.
- Harbaugh has begun meeting with other teams, including an interview with Atlanta, and during the session Bisciotti reacted in real time to news of Mike Tomlin’s resignation from Pittsburgh.
