Will John Harbaugh return for a 19th season with Ravens?

Our Summary

The Baltimore Ravens face critical decisions following a disappointing season that fell short of expectations. Owner Steve Bisciotti must determine whether to retain head coach John Harbaugh for a 19th season. Harbaugh, who has been with the team since 2008, has seen only one Super Bowl appearance, which occurred 13 years ago. The Ravens have struggled in recent years, particularly in delivering during crucial games, despite having quarterback Lamar Jackson, a two-time MVP.

The possibility of a fresh start is under consideration, with questions about whether a mutual parting could benefit both the team and Harbaugh. Potential scenarios include Harbaugh moving to another team, possibly within the AFC, such as the Titans or the Browns.

Simultaneously, the future of Lamar Jackson with the Ravens is uncertain. While both sides publicly express commitment, there is speculation about whether another team might be willing to pay a significant price for the star quarterback, who is under contract for two more seasons.
