Ravens Considering Coordinator Changes?

However, such change is more likely to happen at the coordinator level than at the very top with head coach John Harbaugh, per The Exhibit’s Josina Anderson. The Ravens just signed Harbaugh to a three-year extension at the beginning of this year that kept him as one of the NFL’s highest-paid head coaches. He has held that role for 19 years with one Super Bowl and consistent playoff appearances. The team also values stability and continuity in their key leadership positions and would not move on one lightly.

“There is absolutely no reason to believe the Ravens would fire John Harbaugh,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said on Tuesday, though he did not rule out the possibility of a mutual parting of ways. He also acknowledge that “some level of change does feel sort of inevitable.”

His colleague Ian Rapoport added that any changes in Baltimore would be focused on offensive coordinator Todd Monken after significant regression from top-five units in the last two years. The Ravens fell outside of the top 10 in points and yards for just the second time with Lamar Jackson as a starter. The first was in 2022 under then-OC Greg Roman, who was replaced by Monken after the season. Could history repeat itself?

Despite also overseeing significant – and perhaps more severe – defensive coordinator Zach Orr is not thought to be on the hot seat. The young ex-Ravens linebacker has led one of the NFL’s worst pass defenses in both of his seasons as defensive coordinator, and this year, he was not able to inspire a similar end-of-season turnaround to 2024. But Orr is still valued inside the Ravens’ facility and seems to be safe. He should still enter the 2026 season under significant scrutiny to return to Baltimore’s core identity as a stifling defense that can better complement Jackson and the offense.
