John Harbaugh will return as coach of the Ravens in 2019, and the team is working to extend his contract, which expires after next season, the Ravens announced Friday evening.
The unexpected news came on the eve of a vital game against the Los Angeles Chargers, which could determine whether the Ravens will miss the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season. It abruptly cut off speculation that the franchise might move on from the most successful coach in its history.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said he considered making a coaching change after last season, when the team’s playoff hopes were dashed in a New Year’s Eve loss to theCincinnati Bengals. Many took that to mean Harbaugh, 56, needed to make the playoffs this season or look for another job.
When the Ravens dropped to 4-5 going into their Week 10 bye, new reports swirled suggesting Harbaugh was in jeopardy. Since then, the Ravens have won four of five games and executed a sweeping transition in offensive philosophy with rookie Lamar Jackson at quarterback.

Take a knee, no NFL on my TV...
Haven't watched a game in 2 years, will never watch another one.
With all the problems in Baltimore MD we continue to put emphasis on the thugs playing football. Their newfound quarterback can't even hardly put a full sentenc together while being intervieweds
Ditto. I find my blood pressure is excellent not watching mediocre football and cheating REFS. I spend more time with my family and frankly it's Awesome.
