**John Harbaugh**‘s lengthy Baltimore stint will continue for the foreseeable future. The Ravens announced on Friday that a three-year extension has been worked out with the Super Bowl-winning head coach.
2025 had previously represented the final year of Harbaugh’s contract, making this offseason one to target another long-term commitment on the team’s part. The 62-year-old now has a new deal in place, and he will continue on the sidelines as part of the Ravens’ ongoing bid to secure a third Super Bowl title. Harbaugh has been Baltimore’s head coach since 2008.
His arrival coincided with that of quarterback **[Joe Flacco](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FlacJo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2025-03-28_pfr)**, who operated as the Ravens’ starter for nearly 11 years. Midway through the 2018 campaign, a knee injury sidelined Flacco and opened the door for then-rookie **[Lamar Jackson](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=JackLa00,JackLa02&search=Lamar+Jackson&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2025-03-28_pfr)** to move to the top of the depth. He has not lost the QB1 role since, and Harbaugh has been a central figure overseeing Baltimore’s transition from one signal-caller to the other.
The early portion of the Flacco era included a number of deep postseason runs and was highlighted by Baltimore’s Super Bowl XLVII success. By the time Jackson took over, though, the Ravens were in the midst of a three-year playoff drought. Questions about Harbaugh’s job security had picked up as a result, but a quick turnaround to close out the campaign set the stage for what has been a strong run of regular season performances. In five of six seasons since the 2019 campaign, Baltimore has posted double-digit wins.
