Expect to continue seeing John Harbaugh at the Baltimore Ravens’ sidelines for the foreseeable future. On Tuesday, the Ravens announced that Harbaugh signed a three-year extension that will keep him with the franchise through the 2025 season.
Harbaugh received a vote of confidence from Baltimore despite having a rare disappointing campaign in 2021, in which the team finished 8-9 and missed out on the postseason. The Ravens made the playoffs three consecutive years before that and won the AFC North twice.
“I’m just thrilled as an owner to have a guy that’s going to be going into his 15th year,” Ravens’ owner Steve Bisciotti told reporters announcing the news. “So, I’m pretty pleased with it.”
John Harbaugh joined the Baltimore Ravens in 2008, replacing the Super Bowl-winning coach Brian Billick. While Harbaugh’s hiring raised some eyebrows at the time, it turned out to be a great decision from Bisciotti.
Since taking over the position, Harbaugh has led the Ravens to nine postseason appearances. He won the Super Bowl in 2012 while making two more AFC Championship appearances. The 59-year-old coach has a head coaching record of 137 wins, and 88 loses in the regular season while going 11-8 in the playoffs.
Harbaugh currently has the third-longest tenure with the same team among active coaches. The only two coaches that were longer with one team are the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin.
