John Harbaugh

If the Ravens choose to fire Harbaugh, there are exciting offensive names in Slowick and Johnson. That'd be the direction I'd personally start looking first and foremost.
Yes PLEASE to either one

It's early but any other coordinators we should keep an eye on? I agree about the Lions coordinators, what about someone from the Sean McVay coaching tree? Bobby Slowik would be a good one from Houston, but through two weeks coaching has shown how much of a difference it can make. Look at Baker in Tampa vs Cleveland Baker, Sam Darnold in NY vs Darnold in Minnesota, and Fields in Pittsburgh with Tomlin. You see how much of a difference good coaching makes.

Would anyone be opposed to bringing Belichick home? For as much as he admired Ed Reed, Belichick would have a field day coaching Hamilton. What about the college route, anyone there that could be the next Jim Harbaugh? We need to start making a list of potential candidates.

Liam Coen of the Buccaneers looks good. Before coaching then he was OC of the University of Kentucky and put up some of the best numbers in there school history. And he spent time as an OC for the Rams (including Baker's time there as well).

Harbaugh's time has come and gone. The problem is we were saying this in the post SB Flacco era. Nothings changed since then. We just drafted Lamar who's the second best player in the NFL. Lamar wins in spite of Harbs and the Ravens. It's time for Steve to do the right thing. He knows it too.
 
I think the Ravens in general are an attractive destination, but two time MVP sprinkled in? Absolutely should be one of the most desired destinations in the entire NFL. Minus being in Baltimore.
I do understand that viewpoint. But I also wonder if a new coach might want a new qb. Someone young who could be raised the way the new HC wants. With an established system, a theoretical coach would have to fit in rather than establishing what he's comfortable with.

And you'd have to think we'd be a very attractive destination with Lamar

not only Lamar, but the organisational stability and structure in the front office, the defensive structure in place too

you dont have to come in and completely overhaul the staff (unless you want to) and there's already a proven structure in place on defence, special teams and in the front office

No shot any inbound coach is moving on from Lamar. LJ is the reason the job will be so attractive

His challenges alone are so poor to the point of being laughable.

Is he getting carried away putting Fields in there? Don’t they have 1 TD?
lol right, Fields is surviving, not balling. Same for Willis. The tweet is a long reach

Week 3 is going to say a lot about John Harbaugh. If they come out angry and win on the road without last minute heroics that will say a lot
 
I’ve never been a fire the coach type of guy but I’m getting there. I’m ready for an offensive minded coach just like everyone else.
Ben Johnson from Detroit comes to mind first. He loves the run game and has been waiting for the right opportunity. The pieces we have in place would likely entice him to leave Detroit.
It just sucks that we would likely have to have a shit year for that to happen and my heart doesn’t want that. We also have too much talent to get a top ten draft pick so it’s likely we’d be fighting for a wildcard spot and keep Harbs.

Five and a bit years after the original "Fire Harbaugh" thread (now closed), I think this as good a time to reopen this conversation. Not going to to go into accolades "for everything he's done for the organisation", we all know what he did and what he did not do. Let's start here:


I'd like to go a step further and actually see the change. Lamar extended Harbaugh's Raven tenure once but it's time to give our QB a coach who isn't just a spectator if things clearly aren't working. We wasted at least 2 years of Lamar's career during his rookie contract. Let's not repeat the mistake.
Harbaugh cemented his position off of a killer defense he had nothing to do with. After the Super bowl win he got rid of anyone who stood up to him .The next supper bowl Ray Lewis forced changes and took over the defense I believe and Harbaugh was told not to interfere. He's gotten credit for others work. They put everything into a quarterback that can't throw well running is his first instinct and when they take away the middle and pressure him he breaks down mentally. They stuck a knife in Joe Flacco rated 5th in play off wins we are on the road of Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons . Running quarterbacks are running because they can't throw well and it falls apart in the playoffs because you have defensis that dhut it down.
