Few franchises around the NFL have shown long-term faithfulness to their head coach. However, entering his 16th season as the Baltimore Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh has been an exception to that practice.

Let’s pretend Harbaugh didn’t coach quarterback Joe Flacco into stardom despite the waves of criticism at the end of the 2012-2013 season. Flacco’s development almost backfired on Harbaugh, as he won the AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year award and saved the Cleveland Browns’ season last year.
The Ravens finished just 10-6 that year, but Harbaugh won two straight road games versus Peyton Manning and Tom Brady before winning Super Bowl XLVII. The unforgettable glory is worth mentioning.
Harbaugh has had noticeable success in the NFL and owns the record for the most road playoff wins (eight) by a head coach in NFL history. While Harbaugh has lost a few AFC Championship games, he closed the deal the first time he made the Super Bowl.
Harbaugh was one win away from playing in Super Bowl LVIII, and his optimism has wavered. The franchise believes Harbaugh can and will return the Ravens to the AFC Championship this year. The road to redemption sits right before this team that came up short this past winter.

“The defense was lined up to take away the run. The next thing would be to bring it in tight and just run the ball in heavy formations…we could have done that, but we were down” pic.twitter.com/aoJgZxM8ze
