Harbaugh Hired as Ravens Coach

    The 45 year old John Harbaugh finally got that coaching job he wanted so bad. The signing was announced yesterday. He is expected to try to hire Eagles Pat Shurmur as offensive coordinator. I’m excited to see what Harbaugh can do as a head coach. As special teams coordinator, he always seemed to rally his players to work together as a unit, and that ability should translate to a team level. What could hurt the Eagles more is the hiring away of Shurmur at a key time in the development of Kevin Kolb. Expect the Eagles replacements to come from within the organization. Rumor has it that former Patriots cornerback Otis Smith, a former Bill Belichek favorite, will replace Harbaugh as secondary coach. Smith was a coaching intern with the Eagles all season.
