Baltimore Ravens Announced John Harbaugh Has Been Relieved Of His Duties
He spent 18 years of his career with the team and delivered a Super Bowl championship. But in the past few years, fans have been clamoring for a change at the head coach position. And they have finally received their wish. Today the Baltimore Ravens announced that John Harbaugh has been relieved of his duties. Some believe the missed 44-yard field goal attempt in the season finale put the final nail in his coaching coffin.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti released a statement about parting ways with Harbaugh:
Following a comprehensive evaluation of the season and the overall direction of our organization, I decided to make a change at head coach. Today I informed John that he has been relieved of his duties.
This was an incredibly difficult decision, given the tremendous 18 years we have spent together and the profound respect I have for John as a coach and, most importantly, as a great man of integrity.
Throughout what I firmly believe is a Hall of Fame coaching career, John has delivered a Super Bowl championship to Baltimore and served as a steadfast pillar of humility and leadership. He and his family have deeply embedded themselves in this community. For these profound contributions, on and off the field, we should all be forever grateful.
Our goal has always been and will always be to win Championships. We strive to consistently perform at the highest level on the field and be a team and organization our fans take pride in. I will always be grateful for the extraordinary hard work and dedication displayed by John and his staff throughout the many successful years. I wish he, Ingrid and Alison all the best going forward.

Bisciotti concluded his statement with the following words:
We now begin the challenging, but exciting, process of identifying the next leader of our football team.
We fully understand the expectations of our fans and everyone in the Ravens organization. Finding another strong leader and partner who will reflect these high standards is paramount.
We deeply appreciate our fans and will continue to work relentlessly to bring them, our city and the extended community the success they deserve.
Of course, Harbaugh had hoped for a different outcome. However, he said, “It comes with disappointment certainly, but more with GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION.” Harbaugh leaves with a regular-season record of 180–113 and 13-11 in the post season. He made it to the playoffs in 12 of his 18 seasons and won Super Bowl XLVII.
All of that to say he will likely not have a problem securing another head coaching job. But for now sometimes a change is good for all parties involved.
