The Baltimore Ravens have not made the playoffs three years in a row. In today’s NFL, that’s usually enough for a team’s owner to fire the head coach. Steve Bisciotti didn’t pull the trigger and fire John Harbaugh after a soul-crushing 31-27 defeat at home against the Bengals. That loss costed the Ravens a trip to the postseason. Aside from losing Dean Pees and promoting Wink Martindale to defensive coordinator, the Ravens’ coaching staff underwent little change this offseason.
You would think that missing the playoffs three straight seasons puts Harbaugh on the hot seat. No one really knows if that’s what Bisciotti is thinking, though.
