John Harbaugh isn’t involved in the Super Bowl as he and his Ravens team had hoped, but Harbaugh is in Miami for another reason this week: He has been named the Associated Press Coach of the Year for the first time in his career.
The award was announced during the NFL Honors program in Miami Feb. 1, the eve of the Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. Also at the awards program, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was unanimously named NFL MVP and offensive coordinator Greg Roman was named NFL Assistant Coach of the Year.
Harbaugh had hoped his Ravens team would be playing this week after the Ravens finished with an NFL-best 14-2 record and earned the AFC’s No. 1 seeding for the first time in franchise history. But the Ravens were upset by the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round of the playoffs, abruptly ending a record-setting season for the Ravens.
