John Harbaugh is out after 18 seasons with the Ravens

Our Summary

Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop's missed 44-yard field goal against the Steelers resulted in a season-ending loss and marked the end of John Harbaugh's 18-year tenure as head coach. Harbaugh, who joined the Ravens in 2008 after a decade as a special-teams coordinator and a year as the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive backs coach, led the team to a Super Bowl XLVII victory and 12 playoff appearances in 18 seasons. Despite his success, recent struggles, including a 1-5 start this season and missed opportunities with MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, led to the decision to part ways. Harbaugh's overall regular-season record stands at 180-113, ranking him 14th in all-time wins. He is expected to be a top candidate for coaching vacancies across the league.
