An era is over. 44 times, John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin shared a congratulatory handshake after the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers tussled. Their war in the Week 18 regular-season finale was their 40th during the regular season.
It was also their last... For now... It's almost certain that you have heard the news. Harbaugh is no longer the Ravens' head coach.

Some say the organization chose Lamar Jackson over their head coach of the past 18 seasons. Dianna Russini reports his undying loyalty, and refusal to fire Todd Monken was also a culprit. Regardless of the reason, two things are certain.
First, Harbaugh's continued run in the NFL will lead him elsewhere. Second, he can take his time if he wants, but if he wants to get back in the swing immediately, he won't be unemployed for long.
As you might expect, people are already speculating about what comes next.
Might John Harbaugh join his brother, Jim Harbaugh, in Los Angeles?

There are whispers. None of which needs to be taken seriously at the moment, but Daniel Jeremiah echoes those theories with one of his own.
Don't place any asterisks beside this one or jump to any conclusions, but this could get interesting. At the time of this story's release, the report of Harbaugh's dismissal isn't even an hour old, but we all know how this works. It doesn't take long for the NFL's rumor mill to begin churning.
