Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti personally influenced the team’s fifth-round pick, advocating for Clemson RB Adam Randall after doing his homework; GM Eric DeCosta confirmed the move, noting Randall’s 2025 Clemson stats (168 carries, 814 yards, 10 TDs; 36 receptions, 254 yards) and that he’ll compete for a backfield role behind veterans like Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali.
The Ravens’ post-Harbaugh coaching search is expansive and not wedded to a single 'type,' with GM Eric DeCosta and ownership leading an effort that has included about 20 first‑round interviews. They aim to trim to four or five finalists for full in-person, day-long meetings, possibly with owner Steve Bisciotti and Lamar Jackson involved. The team seeks the best leader who can hold players accountable, excels in X’s and O’s, and can relate to players while building a strong staff around the head coach. Confirmed and reported candidates span veteran coordinators (Schwartz, Flores, Kingsbury, Nagy, Stefanski, Joseph) and up-and-coming coaches (Kubiak, Davis Webb), with others like Mike McDaniel and Robert Saleh reportedly in the mix. The Ravens emphasize culture, quarterback context, track record, and staff fit over a specific coaching template, and believe they have a top, selective job on the market.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti will consult quarterback Lamar Jackson during the head coach search, with GM Eric DeCosta relaying notes and planning for Jackson to be present at finalist meetings; Bisciotti even offered his private plane to fly Jackson to Baltimore, but while Jackson will have significant input, Bisciotti says he retains final power.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti says his instincts told him this was the time to fire John Harbaugh after considering late-season collapses and playoff underperformance. He discussed the plan with GM Eric DeCosta and even spoke with players like Lamar Jackson, who indicated changes were likely. Bisciotti confirmed the decision last Tuesday, noting Harbaugh would have stayed for one more week if Tyler Loop’s 44-yard field goal had been good, and stressed he acted to avoid regret.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti explained firing John Harbaugh as an instinct-driven move to end a multi-season regression, and outlined a collaborative but Bisciotti-led coaching search with four to five finalists. DeCosta, Newsome and Brown will be key decision-makers, with Jackson’s input considered but no veto power. Bisciotti emphasized leadership and player connection, pushed for Jackson’s contract renegotiation to create cap space, and entertained the possibility of Mike Tomlin as a candidate while dodging questions about Justin Tucker; Tyler Loop is expected to be the kicker next year. He also signaled stepping back from the public-facing role and, in the longer term, a possible sale in the 2030s.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti says Lamar Jackson and other veterans didn’t play a large role in firing coach John Harbaugh; Jackson told him he didn’t have a problem with Harbaugh or Monken, and Bisciotti emphasized the decision was leadership-driven (about 80-20). The Ravens are now pursuing a new head coach, with Jackson’s two-time MVP status seen as an asset in the search.
