“Stunned!” – Rich Eisen Weighs In on the John Harbaugh/Baltimore Ravens Split

44 comments

1. I would’ve got rid of the QB who wears a shiesty at every press conference. Weirdo

2. John Harbaugh has 28 10 points lead loses on his record. Playing calling has been trash at times. No superbowl since 2012. Inherited a great team and he was a leader of men. But it’s times to move on.

3. Plz not Minter 💔

4. Hell Harbaugh can be the next coach for the Las Vegas raiders… It would be a major upgrade for the raiders.

5. Tampa Bay is one of those teams I bet

6. Steelers fan here. I'm stunned how a guy averaging 6.3 yards per carry doesn't get 30 touches with the Playoffs on the line.

7. One of the big reason the Ravens kept coming up short is they intentionally and needlessly handicapped themselves, one of the ways they did this, that really bothered me, is their RB rotation. It was normal for Henry to see fewer than 50% of the snaps in games this year, the NE game was not a fluke or a mistake, that was the plan.

8. Pittsburgh called for Harbaugh

9. All of these owners are looking for the Brady/Belichick success levels and they just don't happen statistically. 10 Superbowls in 20 years in a league that pushes parity is not going to happen again, even with the Chiefs. Lamar is a good QB but at the end of his career, he's not going to be in the GOAT discussions at all.

10. Harbaugh is a good guy but has literally coached one of the dumbest teams over the last 5 years… the guys on the team are not prepared situationally or aware of what needs to be done at the most important times.

11. I think he is a good coach and will be an asset to next team.
    Up until this year The buzzsaw of Chiefs has pretty much relegated everyone down in the AFC.
    I think if you’re gonna fire, you need to already know who is going to be the replacement.

12. Dang!!! LSU should have waited. But, hopefully, he will just hang around for a little while. I am sure Kiffin won't stay very long.

13. Wait for it… Harbaugh becomes HC of the Browns! (Revenge hire, full circle for Browns ==> Ravens ==> Browns). History Karma lol

14. I'm a Raiders fan of 50 years. Thank God Carroll is gone. We're getting ready to get John Harbaugh as coach. 1st pick ( Mendoza), Jeanty, Bowers, Max, coaching against his brother, new stadium, and Tom Brady ( Brady as Mendoza's mentor) involved. He's not going to the Giants. He's going to join Raider Nation! 💯

15. Harbaugh wouldn't budge on Faalele, Monken or Orr. That was the hill he died on in Ravens land.

16. A QB who falls asleep at meetings and wants to be the leader of the team….Ravens are sliding downhill.

17. John harbaugh inherited a great team in 2008 and fell into place. He is a great coach but its gonna be interesting to see what he does with a team that doesn't have multiple hall of famers and mvps all over the place. From ray lewis,ed reed terrell suggs, lamar, ngata, yanda, matt birk. Derrick henry.. the list goes on harbaugh has had the privilege of coaching some of the greatest players in history, i wonder how he approaches a team like the raiders or giants or ANY other team that doesnt have nearly the talent the ravens have had during his 18 years

18. The only continuity that matters in the NFL is your QB. Lamar and Harbaugh were not a good fit, I'm pretty sure most people already knew that. The Ravens made the right call. If only Bengals ownership had the fortitude to move on from a coach with past success who has simply lost his touch.

19. He'll be rehired by the end of the week to another team out there

20. Remember the Titans – I can see "sorry John" signs in Baltimore like we saw "sorry Vrabes" in Tennessee. Totally biased, though, because I remember both Jim and John from when Jack was coaching for Bo Schembechler. Sure Richˋs bias may come from the same area code 😅

21. I have to think the Buccaneers called, and Harbaugh said no, and then they decided to keep Bowles. That's the only explanation I could see for the Bucs / Todd making that announcement. And if that's the case… Bucs window might have just slammed shut

22. Lamar is lazy and cannot be coached.

23. Selling PSLs held for 30years.

24. I would have fired both coordinators and put Harbaugh and Jackson on the hot seat for next year … Deep playoff run or else.

    Then trade see if you can get something … And rebuild young and cheap … Henry, Andrews, Kyle Van Noy, Roquan, Ricard all don't have much time left before they retire … Clock is ticking.

25. Harbaugh now has a chance without Lamar for a Super Bowl !

26. Lamar (aka LaBrick) will NEVER EVER win a Championship no matter who's the HC! BALTIMORE MADE a huge MISTAKE letting Harbaugh go, as he is their only shot to win a championship! Lamar is done! Furthermore, QB's are paid to win Championships! I've lived in Baltimore forever –and Lamar is NOT beloved in Baltimore –possibly and only among his players! Lamar is WAY OVERPAID and he will NEVER win a superbowl. He's on a downtrend and Baltimore will regret it, while paying him tons of money that he doesn't deserve!!!!!

27. Baltimore is cursed, but that wasn't Harbaugh's fault. You don't fire a good coach like that unless you have an idea…just hope it's a good one.

28. Lamar ain’t winnin’ no Super Bowl 🎉

29. Jets steeloids

30. Ricks stunned he shouldnt be harbaugh should have gone years ago .John harbaugh has hindered this team for years stop it.This franchise is first class top to bottom we will be fine.This aint those other bum franchises like the one you support

31. Whether it was him or Tomlin, they were going to get ALOT of offers.

    Steelers/Ravens fans may be fed up with their coaches. But they’re still winning year and year out. There’s ALOT of franchises that just can’t win more than 1-2 years in a row, and they’d pay like crazy to be stable for once.

    Browns, Raiders, Dolphins, Cardinals, Falcons, giants, titans, jets.

    You’d be crazy to think those fans wouldn’t be happy to land a Harbaugh or Tomlin.

32. John is a good coach but it's getting stale. When playing KC in rescent past (last year I think) they didn't run Derrick Henry the last 11 minutes of the game and KC run defense was ranked last. They call stupid plays at the wrong time, O line can't protect Lamar, Lamar can't scramble like he could and seems to be getting fragile with constant injuries. The defense can't get to quarterbacks and can't stop the pass game. There's blame to go around in this organization. Even when they are playing well they can't win the big games.

33. it went like this. Owner said whats good? Lamar said we aint vibing. Owner said say no more.

34. I was called for 4 interviews today too. Who cares if I’m lying?

35. The reason that the Ravens are consistently a good team is because Ozzie Newsome and Eric DeCosta are both the best GMs of their respective eras. Harbaugh took that talent and did less with it than a truly great coach would have.

36. klint kubiak to baltimore

37. As a raven fan, I hope John Harbaugh does not land up in Cleveland.

38. Ravens didn't seem to have an alpha WR. I think he got the most from the roster year in and year out

39. Andy Reid caught new life with his next HC gig after the Eagles. Harbaugh will get his pick of where he wants to go IF he decides he wants to coach next season. I bet the ravens go after Mike McCarthy

40. Steve Bisciotti fired Brian Billick – also a Super Bowl winning coach after a dismal 2007 season. We had just gone 5-11, giving the Dolphins their only win of the season, and Bisciotti and Billick had a meeting. From what leaked out, Billick came across as condescending and Bisciotti – who reportedly was going to give Billick another chance – showed him the door. The firing of Harbaugh sounds similar, in that Bisciotti reportedly wanted changes in the staff that Harbaugh refused to make. On the one hand, I give credit to Harbaugh for standing up for his staff; on the other, the game planning on both sides of the ball has been horrible the past couple of years. Harbaugh will land somewhere else – and may even make another Super Bowl – but he wasn't doing it for Baltimore.

41. 18 years is plenty

42. He's going to the Falcons.

43. Looks like Ravens fans have hitched their wagon to a choke artist like Lemar.

44. It's not the results – it's the process.
    I can live with failure, I can't accept stupidity and cluelessness.
