26. . HC. Baltimore Ravens. John Harbaugh . 8. player

Is his job in jeopardy? Possibly. That said it shouldn’t be. John Harbaugh never gets enough credit for the good coach he is. He’s kept the Baltimore Ravens in the thick of the AFC race for years, going toe to toe with some of the best coaches in the game and winning his share of duels. The playoff drought over the past three seasons is unfortunate but it’s not like the team has been a disaster in that time.

They’ve stayed competitive. One can’t dismiss how Harbaugh made the playoffs six times and holds a 10-5 record whenever he’d gone. Add the Super Bowl championship in 2012 and it’s quite the legacy that actually surpassed his more hyped-up brother. Maybe the Ravens will decide to cut him loose, but if they do he’ll land softly somewhere else and likely keep having success.
