"When Ingrid, Alison and I arrived in Baltimore, we knew that we were joining a football organization. What we couldn't have fully known then was that we were becoming part of a city, a culture, and a community that is bonded together by a shared sense of strength and unity," Harbaugh wrote.

The Ravens went to the playoffs in 12 of Harbaugh's 18 seasons and won Super Bowl XLVII.

Now Baltimore has a new head coach, Jesse Minter, that has learned from both Harbaugh brothers and will try to get the Ravens over the top and back in the Super Bowl.
