John Harbaugh was fired as coach of the Ravens after going 8-9 last season, but he doesn\u2019t think that record reflects the reality of the job he and his staff did.<\/p>\n
Harbaugh, now head coach of the Giants, said on Pardon My Take that he thinks the Ravens\u2019 staff was as good as ever in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cI took a lot of pride in what we did,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cI took a lot of pride in this season. I thought, honestly, as a coaching staff, it might have been our best job this year coaching this team. I thought we did a great job. But it wasn\u2019t good enough in terms of getting us where we needed to get for whatever reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, Harbaugh says he has no hard feelings for the Ravens firing him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the job\u2019s not getting done, it\u2019s not good enough, they\u2019ll make a change,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cI really wasn\u2019t worried about it ever, keeping the job. I felt like at some point in time if they felt like I wasn\u2019t the best guy for the job to do the job then they\u2019re going to put me out of a job, and that\u2019s what they should do if they feel that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harbaugh said that his agent told him within 20 minutes of the Ravens firing him that multiple teams had called to express their interest. The Giants were first on the list, and now Harbaugh will try to do his best coaching job with the Giants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Harbaugh was fired as coach of the Ravens after going 8-9 last season, but he doesn\u2019t think…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":554252,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-554251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/554252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
