If the 2016 Ravens don’t finish the season strong, John Harbaugh could suffer the same fate as Billick—the former coach went 80–64 in the regular season and 5–3 in the playoffs with the Ravens, but finished 33–31 in his final four seasons. It’s also not out of the realm of possibility that a new start could extend to the front office and Newsome, with Eric DeCosta the GM-in-waiting around as a viable alternative.

Harbaugh had his own 5–11 season last year. After winning the Super Bowl in the 2012 season, he’s now 29–30 over the past three-plus years, although he does have a playoff victory against the Le’Veon Bell-less Steelers after the ’14 season.

If the offense, with Harbaugh’s close friend in command, doesn’t play well down the stretch and the Ravens fail to grab a postseason berth for the third time in the past four seasons, Harbaugh’s future with the team would likely be a hot topic.

Some close to the organization think that Harbaugh is safe no matter what happens, because 5–11 was a season-from-hell aberration due to injuries, and the Ravens figure to be on the upswing next season. The defense, though aging in some spots, should be intact, and QB Joe Flacco and a young surrounding cast on offense should improve because Flacco will be better with more time since his ACL surgery. Harbaugh is also viewed as one of the league’s better coaches, and he certainly has enjoyed a lot of success compared to his peers. But if the Ravens stumble down the stretch, and especially if they finish at 8–8 or worse, Harbaugh’s future could be in doubt. The Ravens have a standard of excellence, and the past four seasons would not match it.

OK, quick, I need some rope, an unmarked car, a comically large anvil, and a sexy secretary (as bait). Doug, meet Alesha, now get in the car and keep quiet.

I would assume that’s the easiest way to get rid of Crusher Doug, though I suppose Jeffrey Lurie could just put on his big billionaire pants and fire him should John Harbaugh become available. Like I don’t even care how big of a laughingstock the Eagles would be if they cut bait on Pederson. If John Harbaugh becomes available, you do whatever it takes. I would literally drive to Baltimore and pick him up and do unspeakable or even speakable things to him on the car ride pick. For real, whatever he wants. Whatever he’s into. Even if it’s just audiobooks about cryptography. I’m in.

Harbaugh obviously has a connection here and, as far as I know, liked the area. My mom used to workout with his wife in Newtown Square. She said she seemed like she liked it here. Done. THE HARBAUGHS LOVE PHILLY! Doug, I’m begging you, just beat the Ravens in two weeks and I’ll take care of the rest, and by taking care of the rest I mean you getting in this car with whatever her name is in the fishnets and keeping your mouth shut. GET IN THE CAR, DOUG!

Make it happen.
