Instinct-Driven Fire: Bisciotti Moves on from Harbaugh After Ravens’ Close Calls

He discussed the plan with GM Eric DeCosta and even spoke with players like Lamar Jackson, who indicated changes were likely. Bisciotti confirmed the decision last Tuesday, noting Harbaugh would have stayed for one more week if Tyler Loop’s 44-yard field goal had been good, and stressed he acted to avoid regret.

Ravens Owner Explains Harbaugh Move, Signals Coaching Search Direction

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti explained firing John Harbaugh as an instinct-driven move to end a multi-season regression, and outlined a collaborative but Bisciotti-led coaching search with four to five finalists. DeCosta, Newsome and Brown will be key decision-makers, with Jackson’s input considered but no veto power. Bisciotti emphasized leadership and player connection, pushed for Jackson’s contract renegotiation to create cap space, and entertained the possibility of Mike Tomlin as a candidate while dodging questions about Justin Tucker; Tyler Loop is expected to be the kicker next year. He also signaled stepping back from the public-facing role and, in the longer term, a possible sale in the 2030s.
