Baltimore Beatdown’s Frank Platko: “Despite rampant speculation and discussion surrounding his standing in Baltimore over the past few years, it almost felt as though Harbaugh’s job security was ironclad. Instead, owner Steve Biscotti pulled the trigger to part ways with the captain of the team’s ship for the past 18 years — a decision that comes not without legitimate risk, but one that is necessary. Harbaugh gave the Ravens nearly two decades of consistent winning football, highlighted by a Super Bowl victory and numerous other memorable wins. For this, fans should think fondly of his tenure overall. However, the Ravens have failed to get over the hump one too many times now in recent seasons and let some of the most talented rosters in franchise history flame out early in the playoffs. Their recurring faults and bad habits have continued to fester, not go away.”
