John Harbaugh has classy gesture on his way out of Baltimore

John Harbaugh quickly landed with a new team after he was fired by the Baltimore Ravens earlier this month, and the longtime coach had a classy gesture toward his former team on Saturday.

Harbaugh, who was named the new head coach of the New York Giants on Jan. 17, took out a full-page advertisement in Saturday's edition of The Baltimore Sun thanking the Ravens, their fans, the city of Baltimore and his former players and coaching staff.

"To Steve Bisciotti: Thank you for creating an environment rooted in maintaining a standard of excellence," Harbaugh wrote.

"To the players who worked hard, fought, believed and always played with the hearts of Lions, THANK YOU. Your commitment to one another, to the standard, and to this city is what made our success happen. Coaching you has been one of the greatest privileges and joys of my life.

"To our coaches, your devotion and work ethic were unrivaled. To our front office and all the support staff, your dedication was the foundation of the success.

"Most of all, to the people of Baltimore: Thank you for embracing my family and for allowing us to grow alongside you. This city's grit, resilience and authenticity are unmatched. The pride you take in your team reflects the pride you take in one another. That is something truly special."
