The Baltimore Ravens stunned the NFL world when they fired coach John Harbaugh after 18 years in charge of the team.
Harbaugh has a career record of 180-113 as Baltimore’s coach. He led the Ravens to the playoffs in 12 of his 18 seasons and helped the team win Super Bowl 47 during the 2012 NFL playoffs, his fifth season with the team.
Naturally, Harbaugh’s track record has made him one of the most coveted coaching candidates league-wide after his departure from the Ravens. The race is now on to see which of the six, non-Ravens teams with vacancies can land the services of the 63-year-old.
Who are the favorites to land Harbaugh? Here’s a look at the betting odds for his next landing spot.

New York Giants (-150)
Harbaugh is the early favorite to land the Giants’ coaching job. The longtime Ravens coach successfully built staffs that developed Joe Flacco into a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and Lamar Jackson into a two-time MVP. The Giants could envision him doing the same with Jaxson Dart while providing the franchise coaching stability it hasn’t had since parting with Tom Coughlin after the 2015 NFL season.
Las Vegas Raiders (+450)
There are several factors about the Raiders job that could entice Harbaugh to go west. Chief among them would be the fact that Harbaugh would get to face his brother Jim and the Los Angeles Chargers twice a year in Las Vegas. The Raiders have a weak overall roster, but Harbaugh may relish a chance to work with Maxx Crosby and help the team find its quarterback of the future with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Atlanta Falcons (+650)
Owner Arthur Blank firing Raheem Morris after two 8-9 seasons shows that the 83-year-old is eager to find someone who can lead Atlanta to a Super Bowl. Harbaugh hasn’t won a title since Super Bowl 47, but he led the Ravens to double-digit wins in six of his last eight seasons and posted just one season with less than eight total wins during his 18 years in Baltimore. That should appeal to Blank, as will Harbaugh’s track record developing young quarterbacks.
Cleveland Browns (+650)
Could Harbaugh stay in the AFC North? The Browns already scheduled an interview with Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken for their coaching job, signaling they have an affinity for what Harbaugh built in Baltimore. Harbaugh grew up in Toledo and played collegiately at Miami (Ohio), so a return to the Buckeye State could be in the cards – if the Browns can sell Harbaugh on their long-term plan at quarterback.
Arizona Cardinals (+800)
Harbaugh would provide the Cardinals a steady hand to lead the organization while they mull moving on from Kyler Murray as he enters the third year of a five-year, $230.5 million contract extension he signed ahead of the 2022 NFL season. But would Harbaugh want to join a roster with so many holes and no obvious path to a quarterback upgrade? That may explain why the Cardinals are considered a longshot in the Harbaugh sweepstakes.
Tennessee Titans (+800)
The Titans have their quarterback of the future in Cam Ward, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The problem is the team doesn’t have much around him and will need to focus on adding a lot of talent to the fold to become competitive in the improving AFC South.
