The Baltimore Ravens recently made a big change by letting go of their long-time head coach, John Harbaugh. This happened right after the team lost a close game to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which meant they would not make the playoffs this year. Harbaugh had been with the team for 18 years and is the most successful coach they have ever had. Even though the team struggled this season, many people were still surprised to see him leave.
Shortly after the news broke, President Trump shared his support for the coach on social media. He told NFL teams that they should hire Harbaugh as quickly as possible. The President called both John and his brother, Jim, total winners. This support comes after the Harbaugh brothers visited the White House last summer to meet with the President. During that visit, John mentioned how much he respected the President and wanted him to be successful.
Harbaugh is already becoming one of the most popular candidates for other teams looking for a new leader. Reports say that about ten different teams are interested in talking to him. Some of these teams already have coaches but are thinking about making a change just to hire him. Because he has won a Super Bowl and has so much experience, he is seen as a very valuable prize in the coaching world.
The New York Giants are one of the teams that seem most interested in bringing him in. They are looking for someone who has a proven history of winning games. Harbaugh is expected to start meeting with different teams and doing interviews by the end of this week. It is likely that he will find a new job very soon given how many teams want his help.
