The Baltimore Ravens made the controversial decision to fire the second-longest tenured coach in the league, John Harbaugh, two days after their season ended. While the media and even members of the Ravens organization were left stunned, it felt like it was time to move on.
Over the past few years, Baltimore has been taking a step backward. After making the AFC Championship in 2023, they lost in the Divisional Round the following year, and in 2025, they missed the playoffs with a record of 8-9. 2025 was clearly a dumpster fire of a season, and owner Steve Bisciotti ultimately made the decision to go in a different direction.
