Black Monday Shockers: John Harbaugh Out in Baltimore

The End of an Era

Black Monday is always brutal, but January 5, 2026, will be remembered for one shocking move: The Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with John Harbaugh.

The Shockers

• John Harbaugh (Ravens): After 18 seasons and a Super Bowl ring, the Ravens decided to move on following a missed playoff appearance. Harbaugh immediately becomes the top candidate on the market (Dallas? Philly if they lose?).
• Kevin Stefanski (Browns): A 5-12 finish doom the two-time Coach of the Year. The Deshaun Watson experiment has officially claimed another victim.

The Expected Exits

• Pete Carroll (Raiders): The experiment failed. 3-14 in one season. Carroll likely heads back to retirement or a front office role.
• Jonathan Gannon (Cardinals): A regression to 3-14 sealed his fate. The Cardinals need an offensive mind for Kyler Murray.

Dynasty Impact

• Ravens Assets (Lamar Jackson / Derrick Henry): ALERT. A new scheme could mean less running for Lamar and a different usage for Henry. This uncertainty makes them "Hold" candidates until a hire is made.
• Cardinals Offense (Kyler Murray / Marvin Harrison Jr.): BUY. If Arizona hires Ben Johnson (Lions OC) or another offensive guru, this offense will unlock. Buy Kyler now before the hire is announced.
• Raiders Players: AVOID. Complete rebuild mode. Only Brock Bowers is safe.
