It is no secret that Arthur Blank was close to hiring Bill Belichick as his new head coach in 2024, but others within the organization pushed him to hire Raheem Morris.
Now, two years later, Blank is right back in the same spot as before.
His anger toward that situation was made clear by the complete dismantling of the organization (firing Morris and Terry Fontenot, moving Rich McKay away from football operations, etc.). He is now looking to fix things up by bringing in a veteran head coach with proven success.
That is why it was especially huge news when the Baltimore Ravens announced that 18-year head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't be returning for the 2026 season.
