John Harbaugh Could Pick His Next Home By the End of the Week

John Harbaugh might not be a coaching free agent for much longer. 

The former Baltimore Ravens head coach isn’t expected to speak to more than two or three teams and could pick his next home by the end of the week, FOX Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano reported Sunday. The New York Giants are “almost certainly” believed to be one of those teams, Vacchiano added. 

Harbaugh told FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer that he planned to narrow the list of teams to three or four teams this weekend.

“He said ‘every team has reached out,’ but he’s not going to go and do that [interview with every team]. He’s going to narrow it down this weekend to about three or four teams and make his decision on where he wants to go this week,” Glazer said on Saturday’s edition of “FOX NFL Sunday.”

In addition to the Ravens and Giants, the Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins are looking for new head coaches. However, the Green Bay Packers could also join that list in the coming days. Hot-seat rumors about head coach Matt LaFleur have heated up following their playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. 

Last week, Vacchiano reported that at least nine teams reached out to Harbaugh shortly after his firing from the Ravens on Tuesday. That list included three teams that hadn’t fired their head coach yet, but the report came out before the Dolphins decided to move on from head coach Mike McDaniel. 

Regarding Miami, it was widely speculated that Harbaugh could go to South Beach, as the Dolphins interviewed former Ravens executive Chad Alexander for their general manager vacancy; Harbaugh and Alexander worked together on the Ravens from 2009-19. Instead, Miami hired Green Bay Packers executive Jon-Eric Sullivan as its general manager, while Atlanta remains the only team with both a general manager and a head coach vacancy.

Over Harbaugh’s 18 seasons as Baltimore’s head coach (2008-25), the Ravens went a combined 180-113 in the regular season and 13-11 in the postseason, highlighted by winning Super Bowl XLVII. This season, the Ravens finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
