Changes are anticipated within the Ravens’ coaching staff as uncertainty looms over the future of head coach John Harbaugh. While there have been discussions about a potential departure, it remains unclear if Harbaugh will indeed leave Baltimore following a disappointing 8-9 season that ended without a playoff berth.
Speculation regarding Harbaugh’s future heated up as the Ravens approached a critical game against the Steelers, which could have marked a pivotal moment for the coach. Despite this, Harbaugh’s long-standing relationship with the team, which spans 18 seasons—second only to Mike Tomlin’s tenure with the Steelers—suggests he could be staying. Last March, the Ravens granted him a three-year contract extension, and team owner Steve Bisciotti has consistently expressed his high regard for Harbaugh, signaling potential stability in the head coaching position through 2026.
However, sources indicate that several teams, including the Giants and Falcons, are keeping an eye on the situation, potentially eyeing Harbaugh should he choose to depart. Josina Anderson reported that Harbaugh is considered “well-coveted” among teams currently seeking a head coach. With six coaching vacancies already in view, this number may rise depending on the outcomes of ongoing assessments such as Harbaugh’s.
The Ravens are also expected to see movement within their coaching staff soon, which may involve changes to key roles like offensive coordinator Todd Monken and defensive coordinator Zach Orr. Monken, who has previously been mentioned as a potential head coaching candidate, has already garnered interest, receiving an interview request from the Browns.
As the front office navigates these decisions, fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring developments in Baltimore. The future of Harbaugh and his coaching staff will not only shape the Ravens’ direction but could also influence the broader coaching landscape in the NFL this hiring season. Through these potential changes, Baltimore remains at a crossroads, with opportunities ahead for renewed growth and success.
