Former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh will spend the next few days watching film on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and Titans quarterback Cam Ward, according to the Athletic’s Dianna Russini<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh was fir<\/a>ed by the Ravens on Tuesday after 18 seasons<\/a> with the franchise. He was 180-113 with the Ravens in the regular season and led the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2013.<\/p>\n

Despite Harbaugh’s success, this season he fell short of expectations. The team went 8-9 and missed the playoffs after a last-second missed field-goal attempt to close Week 18.<\/p>\n

The Titans and Giants are both looking for a new head coach. The Titans last made the playoffs in 2022, and the Giants have missed the playoffs the last three seasons.<\/p>\n

Despite both teams’ struggles last season, they each have former 2025 first-round picks at quarterback. Ward started all 17 games as a rookie for the Titans and finished the season with 3,169 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.<\/p>\n

Dart started after Russell Wilson was benched in Week 4. Dart finished with 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 12 starts. He also added 487 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns on the ground. He missed two games with a concussion.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh has also reportedly been in contact with team decision-makers and potential members of his own coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Todd Monken was the offensive coordinator and Zach Orr was the defensive coordinator for the Ravens last season. Neither is expected to be back with the team.<\/p>\n

Since the season ended, Monken reflected on the Ravens’ offense, his relationship with quarterback Lamar Jackson, and Jackson’s development<\/a> on “The Ryan Ripken Show.” Monken said he hopes to do a better job during his next opportunity.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t coach Lamar well enough,” Monken said<\/a>. “I didn’t have as good of a relationship as I could have. I didn’t do the things we needed to do this year to win enough games to give ourselves a chance. I believe that. … I’m going to fight like hell for the next job I get and I’m going to root like hell for the Ravens.”<\/p>\n

Since Harbaugh departed from the Ravens, he has drawn interest from around the league. The Browns, who present two young options at quarterback<\/a>, are also reportedly interested in bringing Harbaugh in for an interview.<\/a><\/p>\n

That said, Harbaugh told Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer on Saturday<\/a> that, while he’s heard from several teams across the NFL, he will narrow his options to just a few rather than interviewing with every one of them that’s interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh will spend the next few days watching film on Giants quarterback Jaxson…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":666806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,127,7,13,2909,895,6,169,572,2850,4045,23813],"class_list":{"0":"post-667514","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-cam-ward","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-jaxson-dart","14":"tag-john-harbaugh","15":"tag-lamar-jackson","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-ravens","18":"tag-russell-wilson","19":"tag-the-ravens","20":"tag-the-titans","21":"tag-todd-monken"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115873792193376586","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/666806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
