He’s not as bombastic or unconventional as his brother Jim, but John Harbaugh is a hell of a coach and is well respected around the league. In a recent interview with ESPN, Jim Harbaugh stated that big brother John is “the best coach I know. I’m half as good as John.” High praise from a good coach in his own right, even if it is a little biased.

The 2015 season was a setback for the Baltimore Ravens, and John Harbaugh’s worst in eight years as the team’s head coach. Season-ending injuries to quarterback Joe Flacco, wide receiver Steve Smith Jr. and linebacker Terrell Suggs doomed the Ravens season, but they still beat their division rival Pittsburgh Steelers twice in two attempts.

Harbaugh led the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory in 2012 over his brother’s San Francisco 49ers, with a final score of 34-31. That would be a great topic of conversation, as the Ravens led big before a power outage at halftime saw the 49ers make a stunning comeback only to fall a little short in the end.

Who wouldn’t want to sit down with Harbaugh to learn about his story, and of course get a little dirt on his brother Jim?
