John Harbaugh was fired after nearly two decades, with 193 total wins, tying Chuck Knox for the 12th-most by an HC in NFL history. An under-the-radar hire when he departed the Eagles, Harbaugh led Baltimore to 12 playoff berths in the past 18 seasons and to six postseason appearances in the last eight years. Still, relationships sometimes get stale over time, people grow apart, and while he's a quality head coach who'll have suitors on the open market, Harbaugh's act and message have fallen on deaf ears in the Ravens locker room.

There's been no discussion about who'll lead the search, but Eric DeCosta is the Executive VP and GM, and he'll have the ear of owner Steve Bisciotti, who purchased the team in 2004 and has as much a hand as any other owner, with the acting head coach reporting directly to him.
