John Harbaugh

John William Harbaugh ( HAR-baw; born September 23, 1962) is an American professional football coach who is the head coach for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). Previously, he coached the defensive backs for the Philadelphia Eagles and served as the Eagles special teams coach for nine years. Harbaugh and his younger brother, former San Francisco 49ers and current Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, are the first pair of brothers in NFL history to serve as head coaches. Jack Harbaugh, Jim and John's father, served 45 years as a college defensive coach, an assistant coach, and a running backs coach. John and the Ravens beat Jim and the 49ers at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans on February 3, 2013, by a score of 34–31. Harbaugh has led the Ravens to over 185 wins (including playoffs) since his tenure began in 2008, the third-most wins in the NFL over that span, and has surpassed Brian Billick for the most wins by a head coach in Baltimore Ravens franchise history. In his sixteen-year tenure as Ravens head coach, Harbaugh has led the Ravens to twelve winning seasons and only two losing seasons. His 22 playoff game appearances are the second-most by any head coach in the NFL since 2008. He is also the only head coach in NFL history to win a playoff game in six of the first seven seasons of a coaching career and has the most road playoff wins by a head coach (8). Outside of winning Super Bowl XLVII, Harbaugh has guided the Ravens to six AFC North division championships, four AFC Championship appearances and a franchise-best 14–2 record in 2019.
