John Harbaugh reportedly has interviews with 3 teams this week, Cardinals not on ‘inside track’

Former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is expected to interview with a trio of NFL teams by the end of this week, but the Arizona Cardinals are not among them, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Harbaugh had been reportedly conducting “preliminary and extensive phone calls” with several teams, including the Cardinals, regarding their respective head-coaching vacancies.

Pelissero said on X that the prized free agent coach has interviews lined up with the New York Giants, Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons. His visit with the Giants is on Wednesday.

The reporter did not rule out the other suitors in the Harbaugh sweepstakes, which also includes the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns, but said “other teams remain interested.”

Harbaugh was relieved of his duties this offseason after 18 seasons in Baltimore which culminated into 12 trips to the postseason, a Super Bowl win and an 180-113 record.

The former Ravens coach is at the top of the list of head-coaching prospects this hiring cycle.

Arizona has been linked to 13 head-coaching candidates thus far, with seven as current defensive coordinators including the Texans’ Matt Burke and the Rams’ Chris Shula.

Arizona Sports’ Tyler Drake contributed to this report.
