John Harbaugh's agent heard from at least one team that doesn't have a coaching vacancy

Several NFL teams have shown interest in John Harbaugh as a potential head coach, according to his agent Bryan Harlan. Harbaugh has reportedly received inquiries from seven teams, although there are currently only seven head-coaching vacancies, including the Baltimore Ravens. This implies that at least one team with an existing head coach is considering a change if Harbaugh is available. This situation raises concerns about the NFL's Rooney Rule, which mandates that teams interview at least two minority candidates for head-coaching positions. If a team plans to fire its current coach to hire Harbaugh, it may conduct interviews with minority candidates merely to satisfy the rule, rather than providing genuine opportunities. The potential hiring of Harbaugh could lead to scrutiny regarding whether teams are conducting legitimate coaching searches or have predetermined decisions.
