JOHN Harbaugh to return as Ravens coach next season

Dang! Was hoping for an undignified firing and an understanding brother to offer him a job in AA. One can dream.
December 21st, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
Good move by them. Not like they giving him a lot of top tools to work with. They should be happy to be in contention for a playoff spot.

Lamar Jackson is going to have to learn how to throw the ball from the pocket more consistently.
I'm sure he knows this, and I know the staff does; the run-heavy Jackson offense isn't supposed to be a sustainable model for the future. It is supposed to win games in a must-win year with what attributes their QB has now.
I hope it works out.

Lamar was actually pretty good in the pocket. He doesn't take off running at first sign of pressure. He just need to get used to the speed of the game and work on his mechanics. His ability to cycle through progressions and read defense is pretty solid.
They just used him a lot in running game and the Ravens run game took off with former Rutgers RB, Gus Edwards, getting yards.
December 22nd, 2018 at 9:56 AM ^
During Lamar Jackson's stint as the starter he has faced the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, and last ranked defenses. None of those defenses were even top half against the run. Now they travel cross country to play the only team in the nfl that is top 10 in both total offense, and total defense. I want to see what transpires when Baltimore gets down 10+ points.
I like the Chargers to humble the young man. 23-14
Going forward Lamar needs to get better in the pocket bc the way he is winning is not sustainable in the long run. In the off-season I would travel around the football landscape and put together a system molded around Lamar and his skill set.

DUDE! /s
December 21st, 2018 at 7:45 PM ^
So Chase to the Ravens?
They haven't drafted a Mattison DL in two years!
December 21st, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
Think I saw a mock with Bush going there.
December 21st, 2018 at 9:04 PM ^
Chase and Bush to the Ravens!
December 21st, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
Looks like Raven owership came back to their senses....
December 21st, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
Meh. John stuck with Flacco for wayyyy too long probably due to sunk cost fallacy. His RB rotation has been inexplicable over the last few years. The organization has been horrendous at evaluating WR talent. They drafted a TE in first round and he has barely seen the field (albeit coming off an injury). He's only had one 10 win season in the last six years. He's just not as consistent of a coach when compared to Jim.
December 21st, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
Or. They feared him going to Cle

I know most of the people here are lions fans but it wasn’t that big of a deal to let harbaugh go. If they don’t win out and make the playoffs this year it will be the first 4 year drought in the playoffs since the first 4 years they existed. Billick got fired a year removed from a 13-3 season because he missed the playoffs 3 of 4 years and the ravens got harbaugh and a Super Bowl. Sometimes change can be good and Baltimore has stagnated over the last few years stuck in 9-7 and 8-8 purgatory.

Probably a slow transition move.
Ozzie Newsome the long time GM is going. It maybe the owners don't want to complete change at the major positions in one year - He helped build some of their better teams and he's had a decent 16 year run but this maybe just a transition move. If Harbaugh suddenly gets a good run next year, he'll keep going especially if the QB situation suddenly looks good.
BUT if this turns out to be just a mirage and Jackson regresses ... then the GM DeCosta now with a year under his belt will probably go with a new person.
December 22nd, 2018 at 10:13 AM ^
I'm glad for Harbaugh that he stayed on, but he was (and will be next year) coaching for his job for a reason.
December 22nd, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
That reason is Ozzie Newsome, who was good for a long time but did a terrible job in his last 5+ drafts.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
CLARENCE Boddicker thinks this is a good move for them.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
so does ALEX Murphy
December 21st, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
Doctor Kimble says what?
December 21st, 2018 at 10:10 PM ^
You switched the samples!
December 21st, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
Murphy? Is that you?
December 21st, 2018 at 8:38 PM ^
Good!
December 21st, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Harbaugh coaching tree continues!!!
December 21st, 2018 at 9:02 PM ^
Happy for him... Thought he was getting a raw deal a while back
December 21st, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
Smart move
December 21st, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
Love the Harbaugh’s but care very little for the NFL.
December 22nd, 2018 at 7:21 AM ^
Me too. But all of our targeted recruits do . . . so we do.
December 21st, 2018 at 9:52 PM ^
Perfect timing, since Quinn and Patricia will be out after next year.
December 21st, 2018 at 10:19 PM ^
We NEED that to happen. Fire those clowns and hire Harbaugh.
December 22nd, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
If you like John Harbaugh, do not wish the lie-downs' coaching job for him, think Pats.
The lie-downs are a coaching and gm blackhole.
December 21st, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
.... ok?
December 21st, 2018 at 10:20 PM ^
Shit I was hoping to get a real coach for the lions for once
December 22nd, 2018 at 12:45 AM ^
What about JACK??
December 22nd, 2018 at 7:23 AM ^
And JAY?
/jk I thought this was an excellent title for the OP. Keeps us from freaking out every time we see "Harbaugh" and "NFL" in the same sentence.
December 22nd, 2018 at 7:29 AM ^
Hope this is really what he wants. Seems like if someone wants you gone the next excuse they have, you will be out the door.
December 22nd, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
Thank you for specifying JOHN since there were bound to be stupid people on here thinking you were talking about JIM
December 24th, 2018 at 9:21 AM ^
Quite the run they're on
