The great debate over going for two found fresh fodder on Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens gambled the outcome of their game against the Green Bay Packers on one final play.  Video released on Monday showed how the decision went down on the Baltimore sideline. After the Ravens scored a late touchdown to cut their deficit to 31-30, head coach John Harbaugh rolled the dice on a two-point conversion with the game on the line. Convert, and they take the lead with 42 seconds remaining. Fail, and… Source link

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh didn’t care if you criticized him for his decision to go for two on Sunday. He knows it was the right call, and he’ll try to explain it to you.  For most of NFL history, the common approach for coaches was to keep a game alive. You’d see plenty of suboptimal decisions made in the name of not practically ending the game, but staying within a possession or two. There are many field goals that have been kicked to pull a game within 14 points in the fourth… Source link

At Saturday night’s Heisman Trophy ceremony, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said he believes defensive end Aidan Hutchinson will be the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Sure, Harbaugh is biased. But that doesn’t mean he’s wrong. In a draft cycle where there doesn’t appear to be a clear-cut QB prospect worth taking first overall, Hutchinson has emerged as a viable candidate to land in the top spot. In 13 games this season, he’s had 14 sacks, three passes defended, two forced fumbles… Source link

For those reading the tea leaves the past month, it appeared inevitable that Michigan would extend head coach Jim Harbaugh. It had appeared that the same thing would happen at Texas — though an extension wasn’t necessarily on the table, but the brass in Austin expressed a vote of confidence in Tom Herman. However, the Longhorns did an about face, hiring away Steve Sarkisian from national championship game-bound Alabama. One program is being aggressive, the other patient. As Dan Wetzel… Source link

Texas fired football coach Tom Herman on Saturday after he posted a 32-18 record (.640) the last four seasons. Buying out the contracts of Herman and all of his assistants will run the school (or its boosters) about $24 million and that’s before it pays new coach Steve Sarkisian or his staff. Meanwhile, Michigan presented football coach Jim Harbaugh a five-year contract extension this week (he’s yet to sign it, per an industry source) after leading the Wolverines to a 49-22 record (.690)… Source link

We are living in an era of underwhelming NFL coaches. Adam Gase somehow got hired by the New York Jets, and is basically being kept as a sideline tanking device to secure the No. 1 NFL draft pick. And the pipeline is also thin, as the incessant annual coaching turnover has created few appealing options. So what if there were a Super Bowl coach with a higher NFL winning percentage than Bill Belichick available? Well, he exists and could either be intrigued by a return to the NFL or forced… Source link

They are begging for him to stay in Columbus. They are pleading for him to stick around in State College. They are worried in East Lansing about a contract that’s set to expire in 14 months. Heck, even Indiana is planning on upsizing at their expense. Amid its sixth season, the Jim Harbaugh experience at Michigan has officially flipped. It began with carnival barker attention and overzealous amounts of Big Blue optimism. It teased within inches of national prominence on the infamous J.T…. Source link
