The Baltimore Ravens have insisted that they have every intention of keeping head coach John Harbaugh through 2019 and beyond, but that isn't going to stop teams from calling and inquiring about his services.
One team that could end up doing so is the Miami Dolphins.
The Dolphins are in search of a new head coach after firing Adam Gase following a 7-9 season, ending his three-year term in Miami. The club has interviewed numerous candidates, but, thus far, they have not talked to any big names.
Could Harbaugh be that big name?
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk thinks so, saying that there is a belief around the league that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross will eventually cave and decide to talk to the Ravens about Harbaugh.

Also, it needs to be taken into consideration that Harbaugh reportedly does not wanted to be traded to another team because he does not want to deprive his new potential destination of assets, which is exactly what would be happening in this hypothetical Dolphins situation.
Harbaugh has been the head coach of the Ravens since 2008, leading them to a Super Bowl title during the 2012-13 campaign as well as seven playoff appearances and three AFC North division crowns overall.
Baltimore lost to the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs last Sunday.
