I've been wondering if he might retire if they plan on firing him. He's won a Super Bowl, made some money. He's been with us so long maybe he's not interested in starting over with a new team. Pure speculation though.

Dont think they'd fire him
at worst it would be a mutual parting of ways
at best it would be a straight up retirement
This is the big thing to me. He's always been an up and down personality but he straight up looked like he wasn't having fun out there for the better portion of this year.

So this explains exactly in a nutshell why I think you get rid of coaches before players. You don't invest franchise time in scouting and drafting who you feel is the best pick in the best position, see success with them on the pro field, only to let them walk when the team isn't winning. Dobbins called out what fans and commentators have been observing for years. You adjust with additions and subtractions from coaching positions before letting especially quality players walk or dropped.
Altho I think trading Hollywood was more a function of how much he was going to cost us in FA than anything else.
despite being frequently described on broadcasts as a "young 60"
think the last 2 years have worn him down a little

He won’t step down. Don’t think you get paid if you step down. Only if you’re X’d. And he just signed an extension. So he’ll be back.. coaching with enthusiasm unknown to mankind!
I'm by no means saying he's gone. Just that it wouldn't surprise me. I know I'm operating on optics only here but he's been looking and acting like a guy that's fed up and tired. Even if he doesn't step away from the game entirely, he might just want a change at some point too.

Not at all. I'm saying this team is nothing without him. Get him signed

What a dream scenario!

I observe cracks in the armor of the steadfast John Harbaugh supporters in the thread responding to last night's loss. I understand patience and resisting systematic change in favor of continuity. I began running out of patience before Lamar invigorated a stagnant team and pulled John's butt out of the fire. If Lamar had been a flop, JH would have been shown the door in 2017. Lamar - a WR to experts accross the league, but a generational QB to a genius Ozzie Newsome, saved John Harbaugh in 2017. There I said it.... again.

Dez was outspoken about our offensive scheme. Then, Hollywood successfully requested a trade. Now, Dobbins has blasted the coaching decision to refuse to feed him the rock in the RZ yet again. This is a huge (yet easy) decision for Harbs on how he sees this offense moving forward with Lamar's future at stake.
I think the team meeting is at 1pm today but I think there's media availability so I'm really curious to know what comes out of that meeting.

looking at the draft class so far - might have to be a free agent
but i really dont think this is a far-fetched scenario for the year - feels doable
in fact it feels like this should be the likely outcome

Speaking this into existence!
depends how bad Lamar and Bateman's injuries are/were and whether lamar's requires surgery
think everyone else should be available

My off season goals in no particular order
1) Sign Lamar Jackson immediately. If EDC is gonna trade him, do it immediately. No pussyfootung around wasting the 23 season because of a few dollars.
2) Get Houston and Peters to come back on friendly deals. Both Houston and Peters have stated they want to be here.
3) Find a new OC at bare minimum. The offensive philosophy has to change. Someone needs to come in a solve the Lamar Jackson puzzle.
4) Bring in 1 top end WR. Whether it's Hopkins, Thomas, Chark, JSN idc. Find someone.
5) Extend Zeitler, attempt to bring back Powers on a friendly deal. If not Ben Cleveland SZN and draft a guard.
6) The Proche and Wallace experiments are over.
7) Draft DL, CB, RB, OG, WR

If Michael Thomas is available I would definitely look at him. He's got some injury issues so that makes him a Raven already.
