#24: John Harbaugh (Baltimore Ravens)

He’s not nearly as boisterous as his younger brother, and maybe that’s what makes it so easy to forget about John Harbaugh. People still remember Brian Billick, his contentious relationship with the media and maniacle actions on the sideline while leading the Baltimore Ravens to a championship in 2000. There is no doubt he deserved consideration but at the end of the day Harbaugh matched him in rings and has him beat in consistency by a wide margin. Billick had three losing seasons in nine years. John has missed the playoffs just twice in eight.

If that weren’t enough to validate his spot on this list, he also has the distinction of winning at least one postseason game each of the times his team made it. At the age of 54 he already has a career record of 87-56. Considering some of the powerhouses he’s had to get by in the AFC from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the New England Patriots, what he has accomplished should be celebrated by Ravens fans. Often the best coaches are the ones who can push their teams through the toughest adversity to ultimate success.
