Baltimore Ravens: John Harbaugh Did Not Run Leaders Out Of Town
Harbaugh Shows Strength Not Cowardice
The emotion elicited when fan favorites leave town clouds this issue. The reality is, Harbaugh has always kept the locker room together and empowered his players. There is much to criticize Harbaugh for, but this just is not one of them. Harbaugh shows strength, not cowardice. Suggesting that he didn’t want another alpha male is silly. Jim Caldwell, Gary Kubiak and Steve Spagnuolo have all been assistant coaches for Harbaugh. You can tell me the man that had three former head coaches work under him, wants to be the only strong voice in the room, but I won’t believe you.

Keeping Marty Mornhinweg on board was a bold decision. It reeks of a mistake but you have to admire the gutsy nature of Harbaugh. The fans wanted Mornhinweg to go, but Harbaugh kept him on board. The Ravens have not made the playoffs in three of the past four years and Harbaugh had the resolve to make an unpopular decision.
Joe Flacco supported Mornhinweg and that played a large role in the decision. If Harbaugh wants to be the lone alpha male, why does he care what Flacco has to say at all? Running strong voices out of town would be the act of a weak leader. Harbaugh keeping Mornhinweg was a bold decision, which is evidence of a strong leader.
