Super Bowl-winning head coach John Harbaugh is in his 17th season at the Ravens' helm. The 2019 NFL Coach of the Year has led Baltimore to a playoff berth in 11 (2008-12, 2014, 2018-20 & 2022-23) of his 16 previous seasons, and in 2012, captured the franchise's second World Championship.

Though he never wants it to be about him, it's impossible to ignore Harbaugh's significant success.

Super Bowl-winning head coach John Harbaugh is in his 17th season at the Ravens' helm. The 2019 NFL Coach of the Year has led Baltimore to a playoff berth in 11 (2008-12, 2014, 2018-20 & 2022-23) of his 16 previous seasons, and in 2012, captured the franchise's second World Championship.

Though he never wants it to be about him, it's impossible to ignore Harbaugh's significant success. Here's a look at the NFL's second-longest-tenured head coach (Mike Tomlin – 18 seasons), entering the 2024 campaign:

• Since Harbaugh's 2008 Baltimore arrival, the Ravens have posted the NFL's third-most total victories (172, including playoffs). He has also led the Ravens to 160 regular season wins since 2008, ranking as the NFL's fourth most.
• Under Harbaugh, Baltimore is one of four teams (GB - 12, NE - 12 & KC - 11) to earn a playoff berth in at least 11 of the past 16 seasons. Baltimore (five) is also one of four teams (KC - 6, Buf. - 5 & Phi. - 5) to make the playoffs in at least five of the past six seasons (2018-23).
• The Ravens' 12 playoff wins since 2008 tie (GB) for the NFL's fourth most, trailing only Kansas City and New England (16 each) and San Francisco (13). Of those Baltimore victories, an NFL-best eight have come on the road.
• Harbaugh's 12 playoff victories tie (Tom Coughlin & Bill Cowher) for the fifth most by a head coach in the first 16 seasons of an NFL coaching career (Joe Gibbs – 17, Bill Belichick – 15, Chuck Noll – 15 & Mike Holmgren – 13).
• Harbaugh owns the most road playoff wins (eight) by a head coach in NFL history. Tom Landry (Dal.) and Tom Coughlin (Jax./NYG) are second with seven each.
• Harbaugh is one of nine coaches to earn at least 11 playoff berths in his first 16 seasons (Bud Grant & Mike Holmgren – 12; Harbaugh, Pete Carroll, Tony Dungy, Chuck Knox, Mike McCarthy, Chuck Noll & Marty Schottenheimer – 11).
• The 2012 Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII, 34-31, over the San Francisco 49ers in one of the most dramatic games in NFL history. Baltimore jumped to a 28-6 lead, but needed a critical goal-line stand late in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory. The Ravens overcame a furious second-half comeback and a 34-minute power outage at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans to clinch the franchise's second World Championship.
• Under Harbaugh's guidance, the Ravens have appeared in four AFC Championship games (2008, 2011, 2012 & 2023) and have won at least one playoff game in eight of their 11 postseasons with him as head coach.
• Harbaugh is the only head coach in NFL history (since 1970 merger) to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons. Notably, no other NFL coach has won a playoff game in each of their first four seasons at the helm. 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.
• John and his younger brother, Jim (2011, 2012 and 2013), the former 49ers head coach and current Chargers head coach, are the only NFL head coaches to reach three conference championships in the first five seasons of a coaching career.
• With Harbaugh, the Ravens have posted an 93-37 mark at M&T Bank Stadium over the past 16 seasons, ranking as the NFL's third-best winning percentage (.715) during that span (2008-23).
• In 2019, the Ravens recorded a franchise-best 14-2 record. Baltimore won a team-record 12-straight games to close out the regular season, also earning the franchise's first-ever No. 1 playoff seed.
• Coach Harbaugh has led the Ravens to five AFC North Division titles (2011-12, 2018-19 & 2023).

From his job interview with the Ravens, to his first press conference, to his consistent action and talk about Baltimore, it is all about "the team" for Harbaugh. Signs can be seen around the Ravens' complex:

"The Team, The Team, The Team."

Despite his continued success, "Harbs" diffuses accolades: "It's about us. It's about the team. It's about the players, the coaches, Steve [Bisciotti], Ozzie [Newsome], Eric [DeCosta] and the scouts. It's about Dick [Cass], Sashi [Brown] and the support staff. It's about all of us pulling together to win – to be the best."

Unlike other NFL head coaches, "Harbs" took the road less traveled. Most NFL field bosses graduate from pro jobs that include the word "coordinator" after "offensive" or "defensive," or they emerge from leading big-time college programs. Before becoming the Ravens' head coach in 2008, John was the Eagles' secondary coach (2007), and prior to that, Philadelphia's special teams coordinator (1998-2006) and a 14-year collegiate coach. (Harbaugh grew up learning about the game from his father, Jack, a longtime college coach.)

In 1998, then-Eagles head coach Ray Rhodes hired Harbaugh, who quickly established a reputation as one of the NFL's top special teams coaches. Subsequently, he was one of four assistants retained by Andy Reid in 1999.

Prior to hiring Harbaugh, the Ravens talked with over 40 people about the energetic coach. "Did we take a chance by hiring John? My belief is that you have to be willing to do things the masses don't, or you'll never separate yourself from the masses," team owner Steve Bisciotti stated. "We obviously picked the right person."

Simply put, Harbaugh strives to be the best. "We don't want to just win a championship. We want to be a championship team," he stated. "We seek the highest levels."

ADDITIONAL RAVENS NOTES DURING HARBAUGH ERA: Maintaining a strong defensive tradition during his time in Baltimore (2008-23), Harbaugh's defense has allowed the NFL's fewest overall touchdowns (527), the fewest points per game (19.0) and the second-fewest net yards per game (318.2). Most recently in 2023, the Ravens allowed the NFL's fewest points per game (16.5), while in 2018, Baltimore produced the NFL's No. 1 defense (292.9 ypg) and the No. 2 scoring defense (17.9 ppg). The Ravens finished four-straight seasons (2008-11) as the NFL's No. 3 scoring defense (fewest points allowed) – tying an NFL record for consecutive seasons ranking in the Top 3 (record has since been eclipsed by Seattle, 2012-16). Additionally, from 2014-16, Baltimore's defense was one of three teams (Den. & Sea.) to rank in the NFL's Top 10 in yards allowed each season. Harbaugh's red zone defense has also finished in the Top 5 in nine of his 16 seasons, including first overall in 2011 and second in 2023, 2014, 2012 and 2008.

The Ravens' offense has also experienced record-setting success during the Harbaugh Era. In 2019, Baltimore finished No. 1 in the NFL in points (33.2) and rushing yards (206.0) per game, while it was No. 2 in total yards (407.6). In 2019, the Ravens also became the first team ever to average 200 passing and 200 rushing yards per game in a season. Baltimore also set a new NFL single-season rushing record (3,296 yards), besting the 1978 Patriots' 3,165. Additionally, in 2019, the Ravens set season team records for touchdowns (64), points (531), net yards (6,521), rushing yards (3,296) and first downs (386, eclipsed in 2021). This attack was led by unanimous NFL MVP QB Lamar Jackson, who accounted for a league-high 43 total TDs, including a league-best (and franchise-record) 36 passing scores. Jackson also rushed for 1,206 yards, setting a new NFL single-season record by a QB. A year later, in 2020, Baltimore's attack registered the second-most total TDs (55), points (468) and rushing yards (3,071) in franchise history. The 2020 Ravens also produced the NFL's No. 1 rushing attack (191.9 ypg), with their 3,071 rushing yards standing as the third most in a 16-game NFL season. (The Ravens own two of the Top 3 marks.) Producing a revolutionary rushing attack over the past several seasons, the Ravens have rushed for an NFL-high 16,668 yards (168.4 ypg) since QB Lamar Jackson's rookie campaign (2018).

On special teams, an impressive seven Ravens have earned 17 combined Pro Bowl honors while playing for Harbaugh: ST Brendon Ayanbadejo (2008), K Billy Cundiff (2010), RS Jacoby Jones (2012), K Justin Tucker (2013, 2016 & 2019-23), LS Morgan Cox (2015-16 & 2019-20), P Sam Koch (2015) and RS Devin Duvernay (2021-22). A byproduct of the Ravens consistently producing one of the NFL's top special teams units during Harbaugh's tenure, senior NFL writer Rick Gosselin ranked the Ravens in the Top 6 of his annual comprehensive ratings system in seven-consecutive seasons (2012-18). (This includes a No. 1 ranking in 2015.) In 2021, Baltimore's special teams unit finished No. 1 in both Gosselin's rankings and Football Outsiders' DVOA ratings.

NFL ASSISTANT COACH: 1998-2007 (with Philadelphia) Harbaugh's special teams in Philadelphia were consistently ranked among the NFL's best. From 2000-05, the Eagles' units finished in the Top 10 in five of those seasons in The Dallas Morning News' special teams rankings. In 2001 and 2003, Philly ranked No. 1, according to senior NFL writer Rick Gosselin's composite ratings (includes 22 kicking-game categories).

Following the 2001 campaign, Harbaugh was voted the NFL's Special Teams Coach of the Year by his peers. He was also named The Dallas Morning News Special Teams Coach of the Year that season. In just four seasons (1998-2001), Harbaugh elevated the Eagles' special teams from 29th to first in the NFL.

In 1999, the Eagles signed K David Akers, who had been working as a part-time waiter after brief kicking stints with Carolina, Atlanta and Washington. With Harbaugh's help, Akers earned three Pro Bowl honors. Harbaugh also worked with P Dirk Johnson, another "street" free agent, helping him record the then-Top 2 punting averages (38.4 in 2005 and 37.4 in 2004) in Eagles history. Under "Harbs," 15 Eagles earned Special Teams Player of the Week awards, while snapper Mike Bartrum was named to the Pro Bowl, and return specialist Reno Mahe led the NFL with a 12.8-yard punt return average in 2005.

COLLEGE COACHING CAREER: Among John's 39 years of coaching is a two-year stint (1995-96) as the assistant head coach at the University of Cincinnati, finishing 6-5 both seasons with the Bearcats. He coached 10 years on offense and four on defense at the collegiate level, launching his coaching career in 1984 at the age of 21 as a graduate assistant for his father at Western Michigan. In his second position at the University of Pittsburgh (1987), he was mentored by the legendary Sid Gillman, a Pro Football Hall of Famer. John also coached the tight ends at Pitt under head coach Mike Gottfried. While at Cincinnati (1989-96), Harbaugh coached special teams, tight ends, outside linebackers and running backs, and he served as the recruiting coordinator.

Over eight years, Harbaugh recruited 27 starters for the Bearcats and tutored both the NCAA's top return man (former Raven Robert Tate, 34.3 KOR average in 1995) and the second-ranked returner (current Ravens assistant head coach/pass game coordinator Chris Hewitt, 31.5 KOR average in 1993). John was part of a staff that helped Cincinnati produce three out of four winning seasons (1993, 1995-96) for the first time in 20 years.

"Harbs" also coached one season at Indiana in 1997 as the defensive backs coach/special teams coordinator, under former Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, and one year at Morehead State in 1988 as the defensive backs coach/special teams and strength and conditioning coordinator.

COACHING HONORS: Leading the 2019 Ravens to a franchise-record 14-2 season and No. 1 seed in the playoffs, Harbaugh was named the Associated Press and PFWA NFL Coach of the Year. He was also named AFC Coach of the Year by the NFL 101 Awards and "Greasy" Neale Pro Coach of the Year (Maxwell Football Club) in 2019. In April 2014, Harbaugh was inducted into Miami (Ohio) University's "Cradle of Coaches Association" and was immortalized with an on-campus statue. Harbaugh's statue joins existing Cradle of Coaches statues for Earl "Red" Blaik, Paul Brown, Carm Cozza, Paul Dietzel, Weeb Ewbank, Sean McVay, Ara Parseghian, John Pont and Bo Schembechler. The Cradle of Coaches honors Miami graduates who have earned recognition as national collegiate or professional Coaches of the Year, who have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame or the Pro Football Hall of Fame, or whose teams won national collegiate or professional/Super Bowl championships.

HARBAUGH COACHING FAMILY: Harbaugh is from a football family. His father, Jack, is a 41-year coaching veteran who won the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA football championship as the head coach at Western Kentucky. His younger brother, Jim, who was the Ravens' starting QB in 1998, played 14 seasons in the NFL, was the San Francisco 49ers' head coach from 2011-14 and led the University of Michigan to a National Championship in 2023. (The Los Angeles Chargers hired Jim as their head coach in 2024.) In a showdown that featured the first-ever NFL game between head coaches who are brothers, John's Ravens bested Jim's 49ers, 16-6, in a 2011 Thanksgiving Night primetime special. The Ravens, of course, then topped the 49ers, 34-31, in Super Bowl XLVII. The brothers' sister, Joani, is married to longtime collegiate basketball coach Tom Crean.

COLLEGE: Harbaugh earned a degree in political science at Miami (OH), where he won the Football Scholar Athlete Award as a defensive back for the Redhawks. He earned his master's in physical education at Western Michigan.

COMMUNITY IMPACT: Devoted to his family and Christian faith, John is most active in helping the Baltimore area be better for families. He earned the 2011 "Power of Excellence Award" from the (Ben) Carson Scholars for "demonstrating excellence in life and being a role model." He served on the board of the Port Discovery Children's Museum and is a contributor to numerous Baltimore-area events and charities. Also a willing volunteer, his wife, Ingrid, contributes to the Helping Up Mission and Sarah's House, and she is on the Board of Trustees at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. In 2020, the couple made significant donations to help fund the distribution of meals to healthcare workers serving on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. John and Ingrid also support Compassion International, which is an organization that aims to positively impact the long-term development of children living in poverty globally. Additionally, the couple is heavily involved in FCA Baltimore and has sponsored several Baltimore City girls' lacrosse teams, helping make the sport more available to youth who don't traditionally have much access.

Harbaugh is a strong advocate of the U.S. Military. The NFL awarded him its 2013 Salute to Service Award, acknowledging exceptional efforts by those in the league who honor and support military members. (He was also a finalist for the award in 2011.) In 2012, the late Army Chief of Staff General Raymond Odierno presented him with the Outstanding Civilian Service Award. Harbaugh has also visited numerous military installations, including bases in the Persian Gulf as part of the inaugural NFL USO Coaches Tour (2009), the Naval Special Warfare Center in Coronado, Calif., (2011), Andrews Air Force Base – just two days after the capture of Osama Bin Laden (2011) – and undisclosed locations in Turkey and Afghanistan.

In 2008, Harbaugh helped institute Military Appreciation Day – an annual event that takes place during Ravens training camp. Since its establishment, over 11,500 service members have enjoyed preferred seating and opportunities to meet Ravens players and coaches. Once the season begins, Harbaugh then invites wounded warriors to be his guests at every Ravens home game. In 2017, he donated New Era hats to soldiers in Afghanistan. The hats represented all four of the major professional sports leagues and several from the NCAA. Additionally, he has purchased school supplies for children whose parents are serving in the military and has sent care packages to troops overseas.

HARBAUGH COACHING ACADEMY: The Harbaugh coaching family (Jack, John, Jim and Tom Crean) debuted their Harbaugh Coaching Academy (HCA) in 2024. The four men and their team of proven leaders joined together to help make a difference in the lives of athletes by way of the coaches who lead them. The academy starts by supporting coaches, teachers, instructors and even parents with the resources to bring out the best in their players both on and off the field. From tactical instruction and leadership skills to inspirational stories and the importance of mental health, HCA provides expert-backed content – filled with unique insights and techniques – to help improve team performance and change young lives for the better. For more information, please visit: https://harbaughcoachingacademy.org/.

PERSONAL: A history buff, Harbaugh has taken the Ravens to Gettysburg, Pa., during offseason team activities to learn about the Civil War. Near the end of the 2017 training camp, he surprised the entire team by cancelling practice on two occasions, loading everyone on buses to visit The Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery and another day visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. The trips were opportunities for players, coaches and staff to receive behind-the-scenes tours of the historic locations and show appreciation for what each represents.

John attended Pioneer (Ann Arbor, MI) HS, where he and his brother, Jim, were inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2016. John and Ingrid have one daughter, Alison, a 2024 University of Notre Dame alum who played lacrosse for the Irish and is now enrolled as a graduate student at South Florida.
