John Harbaugh was fired by the Ravens this past week—and according to a pair of NFL reporters, that’s exactly what it was: A straight-up firing after an 18-season run with the franchise.
The 63-year-old had been the NFL’s second-longest tenured head coach behind only division foe Mike Tomlin, and compiled a 180–113 regular season record to go along with a 13–11 postseason mark that included a Super Bowl XLVII victory in 2012. Unfortunately, an 8–9 campaign in 2025—one that saw Baltimore miss the playoffs for the first time since 2021—seemingly did the head coach in.
