Ex-Ravens Coach John Harbaugh Interviews with Falcons Post-Firing
Former Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh has initiated his search for a new coaching opportunity. His first known interview took place with the Atlanta Falcons.
Harbaugh’s Interview with the Falcons
On Monday, the Atlanta Falcons confirmed they held an interview with Harbaugh, marking his first official meeting during this coaching cycle. Harbaugh is regarded as one of the leading candidates for head coaching positions across the NFL.
Potential Suitors for Harbaugh
Several teams have expressed interest in Harbaugh, including:
- Miami Dolphins
- New York Giants
- Tennessee Titans
According to NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero, the New York Giants are particularly keen on securing Harbaugh following his departure from the Ravens. The Giants have been actively pursuing him since his firing last Tuesday.
Unique Position of the Falcons
The Falcons find themselves in a unique situation. They currently do not have a general manager in place, which may allow Harbaugh to recommend his preferred candidate for the role. This flexibility could be appealing for a coach in high demand.
Additional Teams in Play
While the Dolphins have shown interest, they have already named a general manager without ties to Harbaugh. Meanwhile, the Titans offer substantial resources and the opportunity to work with promising quarterback Cam Ward, making them a compelling option.
Upcoming Meetings and Discussions
In the coming week, Harbaugh is expected to meet in person with multiple teams regarding their head coaching vacancies. He has already communicated with several franchises that are currently looking for new leadership, including the Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals, and Las Vegas Raiders.
As Harbaugh narrows down his options, his experience and track record make him a top candidate in this year’s coaching sweeps.
