Ravens release their statement on the John Harbaugh firing

We talked about this 'hot seat' that John Harbaugh was in all season. We all knew that this was a possible outcome. Why does this still feel weird, then? John Harbaugh has been fired.

In some ways, the Baltimore Ravens' decision to move on from their head coach of 18 seasons was expected. In other ways, this is surprising. It is now time to begin the search for the Ravens' fourth head coach. Their third left some pretty big shoes to fill.

The fallout from this one has been heavy. Some say dysfunction played a role, particularly between the head coach and his all-star quarterback. Others say loyalty is a culprit. Per Dianna Russini, Harbaugh refused to move on from Todd Monken, and that helped Steve Bisciotti make his decision.

The Ravens have released their statement:

It's the NFL. The only constant is change. This is business. No one ever assumed it was personal, but this divorce will work out for both parties.
