Donald Trump responded to the news of John Harbaugh departing his role as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
Donald Trump has called for NFL teams to move quickly in hiring John Harbaugh, following the coach’s exit from the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons.
Harbaugh’s departure came after an 8–9 campaign and a second straight year without playoff football. Despite the dip in recent results, his track record remains impressive — including a Super Bowl XLVII win and 12 postseason appearances during his time in Baltimore.
Donald Trump urges NFL teams to hire John Harbaugh
Shortly after John Harbaugh’s exit was confirmed, Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social, writing: “HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST. HE, AND HIS BROTHER, ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!”
The post referenced both John and his brother Jim Harbaugh, who is currently the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.
Trump’s backing drew plenty of attention across social media, with supporters and detractors alike weighing in on the president’s take.
The Harbaugh brothers have had the support of Trump for a very long time, even meeting the President last summer at the White House.
Which teams could be interested in John Harbaugh?
Several teams are in the market for a new head coach, including the Giants, Browns, Falcons, Cardinals, Titans, and Raiders.
Harbaugh’s experience and postseason success are likely to put him near the top of many lists, especially with the mass exodus of coaches this season.
Whether Trump’s endorsement has any impact on the hiring process is another matter. But it does speak to Harbaugh’s standing in the sport — few coaches leave a job and remain as sought-after as he does now.
At 63, Harbaugh is expected to have options. And with his name carrying significant weight across the league, his next move will be one of the big stories to watch this offseason.
