1. The Baltimore Ravens have more experience as head coach  

Demeco Ryans looks like he has a bright future as a head coach. In his first year with the Houston Texans, he immediately turned the team around and won them a playoff game. Still, while it is impressive that Ryans is 1-0 in the playoffs, he comes in with much less experience than John Harbaugh.

Harbaugh will be coaching his 21st playoff game when they host the Baltimore Ravens. He is currently 11-9. So, while he does have his share of heartbreak, he also has plenty of successful attempts at the playoffs with the Ravens. While Ryans will hope to have that experience soon, he simply does not. 

Experience does not guarantee a win, but often, when you get further into the playoffs, you start to see the same names over and over again because they know how to win these types of games. Ryans can compete, but when it comes to experience, Harbaugh has a significant advantage.
