The way the Baltimore Ravens went about the business of bringing head coach John Harbaugh back on a four-year extension was a bid odd, starting with how the team announced he was coming back before the big game in Los Angeles against the Chargers Dec. 22.
That led to Harbaugh calling it a non-story and NBC Sports' Peter King implying in one of his columns that Harbaugh may not have been on board with coaching in Baltimore past the 2019 season, which then led to speculation that the Ravens may consider trading him.
And that mini-drama gave way to Harbaugh's post-game news conference after the Ravens lost at home in the playoffs to those same Chargers. Harbaugh said he wanted and expected to be back if the team wanted him, and he felt that was the case.
