Talk about it: Ravens hire John Harbaugh

Harbaugh, considered the dark-horse candidate when the Ravens' search
began, impressed team officials with his intense coaching cheap car insurance and
magnetic personality.

The hiring of Harbaugh ends the Ravens' 18-day search for a coach. He
will become the third coach in Ravens history, replacing Brian
Billick, best life insurance was fired Dec. 31 after nine seasons with the team.

An NFL source said Harbaugh will sign a four-year deal worth $2
million to $2.5 million a season, which is typical for a first-year
coach.

"We have the head whole life insurance and we're very excited about it," team
spokesman Kevin Byrne said.

Owner Steve Bisciotti offered Harbaugh the job at 5:35 p.m. in the
team's boardroom in front of the search committee.

After Harbaugh accepted, Bisciotti called former majority owner Art
Modell so that he could be one of the cheap auto insurance to know.

Harbaugh is the NFL's ninth-youngest head coach and is independent fashion years
younger than Billick, which center Mike Flynn said shouldn't be a
problem.

"It's not going to matter," Flynn said. "He's ready for the job. I'm
sure he's going to do his homework and will establish his philosophy.
... I think he'll have instant credibility and respect. It's something
he would have to lose."

Harbaugh, who was not made available to reporters, left in a home insurance for Philadelphia and will return tomorrow for imprinted playing cards news conference.

The Ravens will fly Harbaugh's parents to Baltimore for the official
announcement.

His father, Jack, is a 41-year coaching veteran. He was head coach at
Western Kentucky University when the team won the 2002 Division I-AA
national championship.

Harbaugh's brother, Jim, was the Ravens' quarterback in 1998. He is
now head coach at Stanford University.

The Ravens first targeted Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason
Garrett and aggressively tried to hire him during a seven-hour visit
Tuesday. Garrett turned down the Ravens' offer Thursday and decided to
remain with Dallas.

Harbaugh, who was considered the fallback option if Garrett wasn't
hired, became the second candidate to be interviewed for a second
time, arriving at Ravens headquarters today about 9 a.m.

Harbaugh doesn't have credentials typical of some other head coaching
candidates but has been considered by several NFL teams. cheap renters insurance high-ranking Ravens official said last year that Harbaugh would be an
excellent head coach.

Harbaugh was a finalist for the UCLA job last month and for the Miami
playing cards opening last year.

Fans might know him only as the brother of Jim Harbaugh, but John
Harbaugh has built a reputation around the league as an energetic
teacher who gets the most out of his players.

Harbaugh shifted to secondary coach this season to give himself a
better chance to become a head coach. He had best car insurance the previous nine
seasons coaching the Eagles' special teams.

"John wants to be a head coach someday, and maybe a defensive
coordinator," Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid said of that shift.
"This gives him a different heart shape playing cards It gives him a
professional opportunity to step out independent clothes that special-teams mode, and
it strengthens our staff."

Teams generally don't hire special teams coaches as a head coach.

But several successful head coaches -- Marv Levy, Dick Vermeil, Mike
Ditka, Bill Cowher and Bill Belichick -- began their careers
coordinating special teams.

After his first interview with the Ravens on Jan. 8, Harbaugh
expressed confidence that he could lead the Ravens.

"I don't think there's any one way to prepare to be a head coach,"
Harbaugh said at the time. "I don't think you are a head coach until
you become a head coach and you find out what your style is. [Eagles
head coach] Andy Reid was never a coordinator before he became a head
coach, and he's one of the best in the league."

Harbaugh could take a week before finalizing a coaching staff.

Before joining Philadelphia's staff, Harbaugh held a variety of
college jobs for 13 years, including coaching defensive backs, running
backs, tight ends and special teams, and overseeing strength and
conditioning programs.

Other assistants interviewed by the Ravens were former Ravens
defensive auto insurance Rex Ryan; Dallas Cowboys assistant head coach
Tony Sparano, who was hired by the Miami Dolphins; New York Jets
offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer; and Indianapolis Colts
assistant head coach Jim Caldwell, who withdrew from consideration.
