John Harbaugh opens up on ‘tough’ Ravens ending: ‘Hits you hard’
NY Post
John Harbaugh is settling in as the new head coach of the Giants, assembling a coaching staff after finding a new home following his firing by Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti.
And while it’s easy to point to the fact the Ravens failed to make the playoffs this past year as the reason Harbaugh was canned, there was surprise when Bisciotti said even if Tyler Loop’s field goal attempt had been good against the Steelers in Week 18 to get Baltimore into the postseason, Harbaugh would have remained the coach “for a week.”
Meaning that even getting to the playoffs wouldn’t have been enough.
Harbaugh, speaking recently on the “BMore Football Podcast,” said perhaps another postseason run might have saved him.
“It’s probably just a tough question to answer,” Harbaugh said of the chances of having remained in Baltimore. “Maybe we win the next game. You know, maybe we win all four [playoff] games [and] maybe win four games in a row. You know, that could have happened. … It really doesn’t matter. What happened is what happened, and what needed to be done in the opinion of Steve, was what was done. So, it’s cool.”
Harbaugh added that he thinks he’d still be in Baltimore if the Ravens made the playoffs and went on to win the Super Bowl.
