The Baltimore Ravens shocked the NFL when they made the decision to part ways with John Harbaugh.
After coaching the Ravens since 2008, Harbaugh could find himself in the driver’s seat of another franchise for the first time in his career. Several teams have already pursued the head coach.
However, Harbaugh plans to wait it out a bit. One sports talk host suggests that it’s not a matter of taking some time off to regroup, but rather that Harbaugh is wisely waiting for more options to potentially pop up.
“He’s (smartly) waiting to see if the Eagles, Bills or Packers would fire their coach to hire him if they lose this weekend,” FS1’s Nick Wright wrote on social media Wednesday night.

Would the Eagles Consider a Change?
Never say never when it comes to hypothetical shocks becoming a reality, but the Eagles parting ways with Nick Sirianni would feel too premature.
While the Eagles’ offense has struggled to impress more often than not this season, their defense remained elite under the defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio. The Eagles finished the season 11-6, winning the NFC East for the second time in a row, breaking a long trend.
A first-round loss would be disappointing for Philadelphia, and could call for changes. However, Sirianni’s short history with the Eagles has created an impressive head coaching resume.
For starters, he’s never had a losing season. His rookie year performance of 9-8 was his worst run, and still resulted in a playoff appearance. Since then, the Eagles have made the playoffs four more times. They were crowned NFC Champions twice and won Super Bowl LIX.
For Philadelphia, a reunion with their former coordinator many years after he left might seem like an intriguing idea—especially with a roster this talented—but Sirianni still holds one of the more impressive resumes in the game currently.
