Jim Harbaugh on brother John's firing: 'He'll be attacking with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind the next opportunity'

Our Summary

John Harbaugh has been dismissed as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons, marking a significant shift in the NFL coaching landscape. Harbaugh, who led the Ravens to a 180-113 record, six AFC North titles, 12 playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl XLVII victory, is now considered the top available head coach. His departure creates one of the most attractive coaching vacancies in the league.

Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers and John's brother, expressed his admiration, stating John is the best coach he knows. Jim, who has competed against John, holds a 0-3 record in their head-to-head matchups, including the Super Bowl loss. With John expected to be a highly sought-after candidate, Jim anticipates facing him again, possibly outside of the AFC.

John Harbaugh's firing adds to the list of seven current NFL head coaching vacancies, with teams like the Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, and Tennessee Titans
