The Baltimore Banner••sports
Key Points:
- John Harbaugh, the winningest and longest-tenured coach in Baltimore Ravens history, has been fired following a disappointing 2025 season and ongoing playoff struggles despite his Hall of Fame-caliber career and a recent contract extension through 2028.
- Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti cited the team's overall direction and failure to meet championship expectations as reasons for the "incredibly difficult decision," emphasizing the need to win now during quarterback Lamar Jackson's prime.
- Harbaugh led the Ravens to a Super Bowl XLVII victory in 2012 and multiple playoff appearances but was hampered in recent years by postseason failures, injuries, and declining team performance, including a 1-5 start in 2025 and fan discontent
