In a move that is as far left as the Ravens forgettable 2007 season, the franchise hired Philadelphia Eagles secondary coach John Harbaugh as its new head coach. Perceived by many as the second choice behind the Cowboys’ Jason Garrett, Harbaugh has never been a coordinator in the NFL.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti committed to hiring a young talent out of the NFL’s assistant’s pool, but the move to hire Harbaugh is as risky as jumping on a slant route. A secondary coach with the Eagels, Harbaugh was also the special teams coach for the team, and could prove immediately relatable to the strongest aspects of the Ravens. However, there’s still a great need for an offensive identity, and a direction on defense as well.
While young coaches are proving to be the rave of the NFL, it might not be the best solution for a team of all-pro veterans and underutilized yet talented youth.
