One of those head coaches was John Harbaugh, who spent 18 seasons as the leader of the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>After being let go by Baltimore, Harbaugh joined the New York Giants in the same capacity. One of Harbaugh\u2019s longtime rivals, Mike Tomlin, who served as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers for 19 seasons, stepped down last week, and the Giants\u2019 head coach spoke about his old rival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think he\u2019ll coach again. I do \u2026 He\u2019ll be great on TV. I mean, he\u2019ll be amazing. He\u2019s a smart, articulate guy,\u201d Harbaugh said, according to Steelers Depot.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">John Harbaugh on Mike Tomlin: &quot;I do think he&#39;ll coach again.

This rivalry that we\u2019ve been fortunate and honored enough to be a part of, I\u2019ve just got so much respect for him and how he\u2019s gone about his business. And we\u2019ve certainly had some legendary battles over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of him being let go, unfortunately, I just think it\u2019s a component of today\u2019s sport culture. And so, you know, there\u2019ve been many examples of that, and so it\u2019s unfortunate. But I\u2019m sure that he is going to move on and if he chooses to coach again, I\u2019m sure he will, and I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be very successful at doing so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut more than anything, I just think it\u2019s a larger example of today\u2019s sport culture in terms of not a lot of patience and the entertainment component of what it is that we do. There\u2019s just not a lot of longevity. You know, I\u2019m sure we all would like to be Don Shula and Tom Landry, but I think those days are gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be interesting to see if Harbaugh\u2019s prediction is right and Tomlin does go on to coach again in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL is going through a lot of change this offseason, with 10 different franchises changing head coaches.
