NFL team with head coach interested in John Harbaugh

The firing of John Harbaugh as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens has changed the game for all teams searching for their next head coach this offseason.

But it doesn’t appear that the six teams in that group (not including the Ravens) are the only ones asking about Harbaugh.

Harbaugh’s agent, Bryan Harlan, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that he received calls from seven different NFL teams expressing interest in him.

“In the first 45 minutes after John Harbaugh was fired this afternoon, his agent Bryan Harlan said he received calls from seven NFL teams expressing interest in his client,” Schefter’s X post read.

That means a team that already has a head coach is asking about the man who spent 18 years coaching the Ravens, leading them to the playoffs in 12 of those seasons.

In addition to the Ravens, the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders need a new head coach heading into 2026.

But Schefter doesn’t think a mystery team is the only organization that already has a head coach coming up.

“At least one, and probably more,” Schefter wrote in response to Giants writer Art Stapleton, pointing to the seventh team referenced in the previous post.

For now, it is unclear who the mystery team that contacted Harlan is.

Schefter already mentioned Harbaugh as the “expected” favorite for the Giants job, although there are likely other teams looking for a coach who can say the same.

The Ravens’ decision to fire Harbaugh comes two days after his team failed to secure the AFC North title, losing in heartbreaking fashion to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18.

“After a comprehensive evaluation of the season and the overall direction of our organization, I have decided to make a change as head coach,” Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said in an official statement. “Today I informed John that he has been relieved of his duties.

“This was an incredibly difficult decision, given the tremendous 18 years we have spent together and the deep respect I have for John as a coach and, most importantly, as a great man of integrity.”

The Ravens also released a statement from Harbaugh.

“Well, I was hoping for some different type of message on my last day here, but that day has come today. It certainly comes with disappointment, but more so with GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION,” Harbaugh said.

“Gratitude to the owner and the organization who were willing to bring in a head coach who made his mark with the success of the Special Teams. A difficult thing to do… and gratitude for all the moments, all these years, that are etched in eternity. I look forward to a legacy built on faith, always fighting, always believing.”

Harbaugh had a 180-113 record and a 13-11 postseason record during his 18 seasons with the franchise. He led the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory during the 2012 season after finishing 10-6.

Throughout his 18 seasons, Harbaugh has only had a losing record three times, with his worst record coming in the 2015 campaign at 5-11. The other two were 8-9 seasons in 2021 and 2025.

Harbaugh posted double-digit wins in 11 of those 18 seasons, including three straight from 2022-2024.
