Harbs, yes, it's time

[GrubberRaven]

As much as I loathe Vrabel, we need a coach like him.

Harbs knows he is safe because he is mid at this point and not the worst.  He should be gone.

I’d love vrabel.  There are some good options out there.  I don’t see any retreads I’m interested in except maybe spags.

Ravens rumors: ESPN insider teases big coaching changes. Would that include John Harbaugh? - Yahoo Sports https://share.google/0qAwU0pThnjNhMqJM

Questions keep piling up in Baltimore as the Ravens try to make sense of a 6-7 record and a sputtering offense. Coming off a 27-22 loss to the Steelers, John Harbaugh already had to bat away conspiracy theories that Lamar Jackson’s ankle is quietly limiting him, insisting the quarterback “looked good physically” and was “moving well” in his return.

The tape and numbers suggest something is off with the attack, though, and that broader unease is now feeding a new round of speculation about where this franchise is headed next.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano said he keeps getting asked whether the Ravens or Steelers jobs could unexpectedly open up if either team misses the playoffs. His answer was cautious but telling: he doesn’t expect Baltimore or Pittsburgh to move on from their long-time head coaches, yet he admitted that if he is wrong, those openings would “shake up” the entire hiring cycle.

Fellow insider Jeremy Fowler focused more squarely on Baltimore. In his view, the Ravens qualify as “really interesting” because their current record does not match their roster talent, and he noted that internal frustration with the lack of offensive production has been building.

Fowler still expects Harbaugh to remain in charge, but he described 2026 as more likely to bring a reset with “multiple staff changes” than a clean head-coaching break. In other words, the chair under Harbaugh is not exactly on fire, yet the people around him may not all survive another year like this.

Michigan just fired Moore for having a sexual relationship with a staffer, no word on if it was the mascot......

Anywho,  how neto torpedo would it be for this Harbs to take the other Harbs' old job..... just some fun on a cold Wednesday

Unfortunately, Fowler is probably right. I think Steve is reluctant to fire his head coach buddy right now without giving him another chance with another staff. I don't think that is optimal because really talented staff applicants will want to go with new head coaches being hired rather than with a coach, Harbs, who will be considered a lame duck with a possibility of being fired next season and the newly hired staff would just be looking for a job again in just one year.

Besides a new HC the team could use some really talented scouting/drafting personnel who can scout guys in the trenches. Looking for an edge rusher has also become a perennial hunt since EDC took over. DeCosta has found the magic ingredient for wide receivers but seems to be at a loss in getting us some real pass rushing young talent.

Whatever happens, we need guys on the O- and D-lines that can play at a high level almost right away. That is, if they're serious about doing a 1 to 2 year rebuild.

And let's not forget Lamar's contract extension/renegotiation. As I mentioned before, we might be looking for a new franchise quarterback in 2 years. We need somebody who'll be able to scout for one and somebody who can coach one.

This may be more like a 3-4 year project if we need to go with a new QB.

Let Lamar walk or trade him to a sucker team.
