Steve Bisciotti: Lamar Jackson, veteran players didn't play large part in John Harbaugh decision

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and General Manager Eric DeCosta addressed the media on Tuesday, marking their first press conference since the dismissal of head coach John Harbaugh. Questions focused on the potential influence of quarterback Lamar Jackson in the decision-making process. Bisciotti confirmed he consulted several veteran players, including Jackson, about the coaching change. Jackson reportedly expressed no issues with offensive coordinator Todd Monken or Harbaugh, stating any necessary changes were likely up to Bisciotti and DeCosta.

Bisciotti emphasized that while player opinions are valued, the decision to fire Harbaugh was primarily his and DeCosta's, citing the team's recent struggles with maintaining leads and playoff performance. He believes the Ravens' head coaching vacancy is highly attractive, partly due to having a two-time MVP quarterback like Jackson on the roster.
