Trump tells NFL teams to ‘hire John Harbaugh, fast’ after Ravens firing decision

'Outnumbered' discusses Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh scolding a member of the media for asking a politically biased question.

Not that he needed one, but longtime NFL coach John Harbaugh received a rousing endorsement from President Donald Trump after the Baltimore Ravens fired him Tuesday, ending an 18-season run with the franchise.

Harbaugh’s tenure, which includes six AFC North titles, four AFC Championship Game appearances and a Super Bowl title, came to an abrupt end when the organization announced that it had dismissed the coach following Sunday’s season finale.

But a missed walk-off field goal attempt by rookie kicker Tyler Loop ended the Ravens’ season – and Harbaugh's time in Baltimore.

 But the coach likely won’t stay on the market for long.  

"HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST," the president wrote in a Truth Social post on Wednesday morning. "HE, AND HIS BROTHER, ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!" 

John and Jim Harbaugh and their families met with Trump at the White House over the summer. The meeting led Harbaugh to defend himself after a reporter framed a question on the visit around Trump's previous comments criticizing Baltimore as a city.
