One or more playoff teams could be lurking for John Harbaugh

Story byMike FlorioThu, January 8, 2026 at 2:43 PM UTC·3 min readWhen it comes to finding his next coaching job, John Harbaugh will attack the day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Starting next week. The plan to press pause conflicts with the Harbaugh ethic. It's a strategy, aimed at one apparent thing: Finding out whether the six games to be played this weekend will lead to more openings.

With only six non-Ravens openings, that leaves three teams that currently have coaches.

Key Highlights

  • And 14 teams still have games to play. For more than a few of the playoff teams, there's no way Harbaugh would be a consideration.
  • The Broncos and Seahawks, obviously, will be standing pat.
  • Ditto for the likes of the Patriots, Chargers (that would be a very awkward phone call), Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Bears, and Texans. As to the rest, is it crazy to think the Steelers are thinking about the possibility of Mike Tomlin choosing to exit after 19 years?
  • Sure, the Steelers typically hire coaches in their 30s and keep them for a long time.
  • (Harbaugh, at 63, is four years older than Chuck Noll when he retired in 1991.) But if Tomlin walks, maybe they'd embrace a guy who seems to be more than ready to go for another decade or longer. Some are suggesting that the Eagles would consider bringing Harbaugh back to Philly, where he spent 10 years before becoming Baltimore's head coach.
