John Harbaugh Signs Extension

[Footman DCXLV]

Just heard on ESPN, Adam Schefter is reporting John Harbaugh has been signed to a "long" contract extension. Any details on this?

 

About time, if it is true.

[callahan09]

ESPN just said that Schefter is reporting this.

Yep!  Multi-year deal, no actual numbers as of yet.

[SecretAgentMan]

So give us the highest paid coach. We need to lock him up so we can get another SB soon

[rmw10]

Adds 2 years to the 2 he already has left.  He's here through 2016.  He's now one of the highest paid coaches around $7M.

How awesome the news comes out today!!!

So excited for him!

[Guest Moderator 6]

I wouldn't be surprised if this took place back in the Spring.  Why would Harbaugh, or any Ravens' executive announce it?  The media probably just found it out.

[SeaHawk]

Very well deserved. The guy, along with Oz, DeCosta, Bisciotti, and the rest of the F.O., has built us into a potential dynasty.

[Purple Nurple]

Awesome! Congrats, coach.

[Footman DCXLV]

Locked up through 2016? Love the news. He may be the most underrated coach in the NFL, and this is well deserved.

[The Raven]

Another extension? Fantastic. Glad he's gonna be here for a long time.

[AsianRice]

Congratz Coach Harbaugh, well deserved....most underrated coach..

It's better to lock him up for 4 years, rather than wait till next year and it will cost us more than today contract.

Multiple rings incoming....

[The Raven]

Arguably the best coach in the league right now. There's nobody else I'd rather have as our head coach.

Can confirm report that #Ravens have given Harbaugh contract ext. Happened months ago, according to source. @AdamSchefter first reported

[Guest Moderator 6]

Just confirmed: they kept it quiet, it's a four year deal worth almost $7 million per year.

[T3hRaven]

NBC just said they were going to try to keep it quiet until the offseason.

I'd rather have Belichick, but Harbs earned my respect last season. I rank him second, followed by Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin, Jimmers, and Mike McCarthy. What Harbs lacks in tactical ability he makes up for with his ability to manage the team, which is arguably more important for a head coach. Admittedly it took me a while to realize that, and firing Cam tipped the scales in his favor, but Harbs is a great coach.

this, he also rubs me the wrong way every time I hear him speak, I wish he'd give a genuiene interview after the game etc, but I understand why he keeps everything close to his chestq

[The Oakland Cathedral]

Good for John.

That a loyalty were my problems with him, but all that was addressed thanks to a smart team owner. I understand why he uses coach speak, but I thought Harbs was very genuine in America's Game.

Loyalty was my problem with Harbs, but that was addressed. If you don't use coach speak you might look like a moron like Rex, but I thought Harbs was very genuine in America's Game.

Is there any coach who doesn't play his cards close to his chest? I'd rather that than a coach getting caught up in an interview like Rex and then doing stupid crap...like taking questions with his back turned.

[buckwild307]

this is good because of his 5 years and his 5 playoff appeirences and the 1 super bowl so this is very good

[Guest RBates]

I hate this move after thinking that he hooked his brother up with Boldin.  So funny how we trade this guy for a 6th round pick that may not even make the team.

You in charge of being right.

Yep.  You are right on point.  Sorry John forget the 5 straight playoffs, SB championship.  You just traded away Boldin (even though it wasn't you, it was the FO) to you brother.
