The Baltimore Ravens have had plenty of success under head coach John Harbaugh ever since he took over the role in 2008 following the departure of then-head coach Brian Billick. Harbaugh has turned himself into a coach that many players enjoy playing for, and that translates to good things both on and off of the field for the team.
When ranking every head coach in the NFL, Conor McQuiston of Pro Football Focus gave Harbaugh a very high spot on his list at the No. 2 spot. When explaining his reasoning, McQuiston talked about how Harbaugh’s teams generally didn’t have top-end offensive talent early on in his tenure, but still was able to put together solid offensive units with phenomenal defenses.
“Harbaugh’s head coaching career includes many iterations of offenses helmed by the typically solid yet unspectacular Joe Flacco that generally lacked upper-echelon talent. Despite this, the Ravens have always fielded above-average offenses — and tremendous defenses.”
