The regular season is coming to a close and with that come the postseason and the handing out of yearly accolades. The Baltimore Ravens didn’t send many players to the Pro Bowl, and it’s unlikely they’ll fare much better with the All-Pros or the Rookie of the Year awards. But there’s a solid case for John Harbaugh winning Coach of the Year.

A few big-name coaches have a shot at the award. Bill Belichick, Andy Reid, Sean McVay and Sean Payton have strong chances of leading their respective teams to the Super Bowl. Matt Nagy and Frank Reich are a pair of new coaches that have taken their teams from among the worst to playoff hopefuls. All six of these coaches have a good shot at the award, but Harbaugh’s case is just as strong.

Harbaugh has turned around the season after entering the bye week reportedly in jeopardy of losing his job. The Ravens were 4-5 and they looked like a long shot to even make the playoffs, let alone win the AFC North. Not to mention Joe Flacco was going to miss time with a hip injury, which meant the team would have to start Lamar Jackson before it fully intended to.

And Harbaugh made it work.

The Ravens revamped their offense to suit Jackson’s skill set, and it has propelled them to a 9-6 record with a division title just a win away. It’s an incredible turnaround from where the team was two months ago, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that most teams couldn’t pull it off. If Baltimore is able to finish the job and get into the postseason, then Harbaugh’s case only gets stronger.

Harbaugh has already earned the right to come back in 2019 after the Ravens’ huge 5-1 stretch. If they can punch their playoff ticket and make it to the postseason in 2018, then he might be in for some huge accolades.
