Adam Schefter does not believe that there was a rift between John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens locker room. While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show , the ESPN NFL insider was asked about NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reporting that the Ravens players didn’t like Harbaugh anymore, which could be one of the reasons the Ravens fired him.

“I don’t think that information right there could be any less true,” Adam Schefter said.“The players coming into his office crying, hugging him, sending him goodbyes, calling him one by one. If they felt that way, why are Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers , and Isaiah Likely , and all these players coming in crying, hugging him, giving these long, warm goodbyes? I’m not buying that.”

Despite the Ravens finishing the 2025 season with a losing record (8-9) and missing the playoffs, John Harbaugh had plenty of success in his 18 seasons as the head coach. A rift between the 63-year-old and the players would be a logical reason to let him go, but Schefter believes that the majority of players enjoyed playing for Harbaugh.
