John Harbaugh has been fired as the Baltimore Ravens’ longtime coach, according to the Associated Press.

Owner Steve Bisciotti said Tuesday he relieved Harbaugh of his duties after the Ravens were one of the league’s most disappointing teams this season, AP said.

ESPN's Adam Schefter posted Ravens owner Bisciotti's statement on Harbaugh's firing, saying the decision was difficult:

The Toledo native had been with the Ravens for 18 seasons.

While the Ravens missed out on the NFL Playoffs this year, under Harbaugh, they won the Super Bowl in 2013.

Harbaugh's departure comes just a day after the Cleveland Browns fired head coach Kevin Stefanski, who had been with Cleveland for six seasons.

The Browns requested an interview with the Ravens' OC, Todd Monken, on Tuesday to fill Stefanski's position, but there is no word yet on whether they plan to look at Harbaugh for the role.
