He\u2019s gone 12 seasons without another Lombardi victory since, and the last seven have come with two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>While the Ravens are constantly viewed as one of the strongest Super Bowl contenders, they\u2019re still trying to win one with their superstar QB. Though, now coach Harbaugh is seeking some help from another fellow former Super Bowl-winning head coach.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>According to Harbaugh, the Ravens had former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Las Vegas Raiders head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimoreravens.com\/news\/john-harbaugh-jon-gruden-ravens-otas-aaron-rodgers-steelers-keaton-mitchell-returner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jon Gruden join them;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jon Gruden join them<\/a> for OTAs this offseason. Harbaugh specifically touted Gruden\u2019s \u201cgreat football mind\u201d while praising the \u201cinsight\u201d he gathered from the entire experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe loves football, he\u2019s a great football coach, great football mind,\u201d Harbaugh said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cHe studied our team, gave us some insight \u2014 players, coaches, schemes, all of it. We didn\u2019t give him the playbook, we didn\u2019t give him a script either. You can only go so far. He studied us. Basically, the message was, \u2018If I was game planning against you on defense, what would I do, how would I attack you?\u2019 He didn\u2019t just stop there. He watched our offensive guys. He had something for each player. Very,\u00a0very detailed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Harbaugh on Jon Gruden<\/p>\n<p>Based on Harbaugh\u2019s accounts, Gruden sounds like a man with a burning desire to get back into coaching at the NFL level. After the overwhelmingly positive experience they shared, it\u2019s possible the Ravens ask Gruden to return for a more permanent role on the coaching staff this season.<\/p>\n<p>After all, it\u2019s been four seasons since Gruden has operated a headset on NFL sidelines. Teams continue giving him a chance to work with their personnel, as the New Orleans Saints previously did with former Gruden tutelage Derek Carr. Perhaps one day he will pop back in the NFL for good. It could even happen later this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/nfl\/nfl-qb-rankings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:2025 NFL QB Rankings: Where does Lamar Jackson rank?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">2025 NFL QB Rankings: Where does Lamar Jackson rank?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related Headlines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It took John Harbaugh five seasons to win his first Super Bowl.
