John Harbaugh Makes The Most Sense

0

Earlier this year the GM for the Baltimore Ravens Ossie Newsome announced he was retiring as the Ravens GM.

Last week it was announced that at the end of this season. Head coach John Harbaugh and the Ravens were mutually parting ways.

John Harbaugh in his tenure as Ravens head coach has never had the explosive firepower currently on the Tampa offense. 

The Ravens in his tenure have rarely had draft position to acquire such talent as a Mike Evan’s. And yet the have finished in the top of the league more than not.

Harbaughs extensive connections in pro and college ranks give him fore knowledge of who’s moving up the ranks for assts and who to stay away from.

Coaching literally runs in the Harbaugh bloodline. From his father Jack to his brother and sister . Harbaugh was built to coach.

With multiple playoff wins and a superbowl under his belt we know John Harbaugh can indeed coach and would not be overwhelmed at the prospect of turning the bucs into a feared competitor for any team we face.

Let’s check off some team needs .

1. Defense, The ravens under Harbaugh have finished in the top ten and top five in the league most of his time with them.

2. Special teams. John Harbaugh came to coaching as a special teams coach and that has shown in their statline.

3. Linemen, The Ravens play in the black and blue division and the rivalry between them and the Steelers is always a must watch. The lines and run game are standard for the AFC north.

So. Hiring Harbaugh is a no brainer right ?

The consensus from my Baltimore friends seems to be Harbaugh to Tampa while they believe the gm that is replacing ossie Newsome will be looking to get Mike McCarthy from greenbay.

Before we all start cheering and welcoming mr Harbaugh though. 

Theres one little catch. The Glazers. 

The Glazers haven’t been known to actually acquire the big fish coaches . They lost out on Parcells and had to trade for Gruden. Greg Schiano was even a option pick .

If they in fact do get Harbaugh . It would be the first time this organization has ever actually hired a coach of his caliber. 

That means they can’t just change coaches in 2 yrs afterward or they will lose any cred they gain by hiring him.

So Joel Glazer . By comment to you sir is to get on the phone to harbaughs agent right now. Stop holding this team back and do the right thing for this franchise bring Harbaugh to Tampa.
