Meet Baltimore Ravens Head Coach, John Harbaugh

John Harbaugh is the son of a University of Michigan assistant football coach. He played his college ball at the University of Miami as a DB. Harbaugh was an assistant coach at four Universities before being hired by Ray Rhodes as an assistant coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. He was one of only four assistants retained when Andy Reid took the team over. Obviously, Reid was either desperate or saw something worthwhile in the young whippersnapper of a coach.

After nine years as the special teams coach for the Eagles, Harbaugh became the defensive backs coach. The following year he was hire by the Baltimore Ravens as their new head coach.

Obviously, Harbaugh is a young coach with very little coaching experience in when compared to some of the other coaches in the league or on his own staff. Though he lacks the overwhelming resume, NFL minds believe he has that “it factor” necessary to become a winning coach. Expect Harbaugh to turn some heads this year with Rex Ryan and Cam Cameron in his cabinet of advisors. Unfortunately, you should also expect Rex Ryan to seek another head coaching position after the season is over.
