"Former Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh will narrow his options to just a few NFL teams before starting to take interviews for his next potential coaching job, he told Fox Sports on Saturday. Harbaugh told Fox that a number of teams have reached out to him since he was fired by the Ravens on Tuesday, but he plans to pick around three or four teams before starting talks. He said he was using the weekend to evaluate his options."
"Harbaugh's agent Bryan Harlan had told ESPN's Adam Schefter that in the first 45 minutes after Harbaugh was fired Tuesday, Harlan received calls from seven NFL teams expressing interest in his client. At least one of the inquiries had come from a team that still had a coach in place at that time; the Dolphins have since fired Mike McDaniel."
"In leading the Ravens for 18 seasons, he was the second-longest active coach in the league behind Mike Tomlin, who is in his 19th season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. By making bold decisions and stressing a team-first mantra, Harbaugh became the only coach in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons."
John Harbaugh will narrow his options to about three or four NFL teams before beginning interviews for a next head-coaching job. Multiple NFL teams contacted him immediately after his firing, and his agent received seven calls within the first 45 minutes. At least one inquiry came from a team that still had a coach at the time; that team later fired Mike McDaniel. Vacancies exist with numerous franchises, including Arizona, Atlanta, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Miami, New York (Giants) and Tennessee. Harbaugh, 63, ranks 12th in career wins with 193 and led the Ravens to the 2012 Super Bowl title. He coached Baltimore for 18 seasons, became the second-longest active coach behind Mike Tomlin, and uniquely won a playoff game in each of his first five seasons.
