John Harbaugh Career
Harbaugh was first hired in 1998 in the NFL by the Philadelphia Eagles as the head coach and in 1999 was one of four assistant coaches retained by new head coach Andy Reid.
In 2004, John was mentioned to replace Gary Darnell as a possible candidate as the head football coach at Western Michigan, where he had received a master’s degree and from 1984–1987 was an assistant football coach.
In 2007, after serving for nine years as Eagles’ special-teams coach, John became their defensive-backs coach. This improved his chances of landing a head coaching job and fulfilled his request to head coach Reid since executives at that time viewed special teams coaches as unqualified to move up to head coach.
On January 19, 2008, He was appointed after Jason Garrett the third-ever head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, the team’s first choice, decided to stay after receiving a raise with the Dallas Cowboys and a promotion to assistant head coach. John for the position was not considered one of the favorites because at any level he had no head coaching experience and had never been an offensive or defensive coordinator in the NFL.
On January 26, 2009, John named the defensive coordinator Greg Mattison for the Ravens, replacing Rex Ryan who had left to take his first head coaching job (with the New York Jets).
In his second season as Ravens’ head coach, Harbaugh improved his playoff record to 3–1 with an upset victory over the New England Patriots in the AFC wild-card round and once again led the team to the playoffs with a 9–7 record during the regular season on January 10, 2010, before losing in the AFC divisional game to the Indianapolis Colts.
On February 14, 2011, He signed a three-year extension that kept him under contract through 2014. The Ravens won the AFC North division finished 2011 12–4 and swept the Steelers home and away before losing the AFC Championship Game to the New England Patriots after Lee Evans had a potential late game-winning pass knocked out.
In 2012, He was awarded the third-highest honor within the Outstanding Civilian Service Award, the Department of the Army Civilian Awards, for substantial contributions to the U.S. Army community while serving as the Baltimore Ravens Coach.
In 2013, John was selected to be inducted into Miami University’s “Cradle of Coaches”. On September 5, 2013, an hour before the Ravens played in the NFL regular season’s opening game, it was reported that John had signed a four-year contract extension in a deal that was reached “months ago.”
In the 2014 AFC Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs, His Ravens beat which was the Ravens’ first playoff victory against the Steelers in the history of the franchise the Pittsburgh Steelers in Heinz Field in a dominant 30–17 victory. However, the next week, in the AFC Divisional round to the New England Patriots the Ravens lost 31–35 after the Ravens were unable to hold two separate 14-point leads. After the game, John complained about the Patriots’ uncommon but legal tactics of declaring receivers ineligible and eligible, saying “It was deception.”
In 2015, John had his first losing season with the Ravens. The Ravens lost many close games and key players like Justin Forsett, Steve Smith Sr., Eugene Monroe, Joe Flacco, and Terrell Suggs all suffered season-ending injuries. They finished third with a 5–11 record in the AFC North.
On August 28, 2017, He signed a one-year contract extension, through the 2019 season keeping him under contract. On January 24, 2019, John signed a four-year contract extension, through the 2022 season keeping him under contract.

The Ravens lost the game 28–12 in the divisional playoff game against the Tennessee Titans. For his work during the 2019 season, He was honored as the AP NFL Coach of the Year.
In 2020, John led the Ravens to a second-place with a record of 11-5 in the AFC North, their first playoff win since the 2014 season in a Wild Card win over the Tennessee Titans and a wild card berth as the #5 seed. The win not only brought reigning MVP, Lamar Jackson, to his first postseason win and helped the Ravens avenge their embarrassing playoff loss the year prior it also broke the NFL record for most road playoff games won.
In 2021, John led the Ravens to an 8-3 start, and by Week 12 had the number 1 seed.
