Trump Urges NFL Teams to Hire John Harbaugh After Ravens Firing

The Super Bowl–winning coach drew rapid interest across the league following his 18-year run in Baltimore.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that teams should "HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST," calling him and brother Jim "total winners."
  • Within about 45 minutes of the firing, seven NFL teams contacted Harbaugh’s agent, according to reporting attributed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • The Ravens dismissed Harbaugh after an 8-9 season that ended without a playoff berth, with owner Steve Bisciotti calling the move "incredibly difficult."
  • Harbaugh’s résumé includes a 193-124 overall record with Baltimore, 12 playoff appearances, six division titles, and a Super Bowl XLVII championship.
  • Multiple clubs with vacancies — including the Giants, Raiders, Browns, Falcons, Titans and Cardinals — are reported to be interested, and no hiring decision has been announced.
