It is the second time in recent days Trump has posted on social media to comment on Harbaugh.On Wednesday, he called the formerBaltimore Ravenscoach a “total winner.”
“HIRE JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post Wednesday morning.“HE, AND HIS BROTHER, ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!”
The Ravens stunningly fired Harbaugh Tuesday, ending a successful 18-season run.The team won six AFC North titles, appeared in four AFC championship games and won a Super Bowl under the 63-year-old.
The Ravens finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion when kicker Tyler Loop’s game-winning field goal attempt sailed wide right.After the disappointing season, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti fired Harbaugh.

Harbaugh immediately became the top head coaching candidate on the market and has drawn interest from all teams with a vacancy, according to multiple reports.
The Giants have the second-worst record in the NFL over the last 10 seasons, ahead of only the New York Jets, at 55-109-1.
The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll midseason after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to the Chicago Bears, a game in which rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart sustained a concussion, dropping them to 2-8.Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was named interim coach and went 2-5 in his seven games.
Daboll was in his fourth season and amassed a 20-40-1 record.He was named NFL Coach of the Year in his first season after leading the Giants to a 9-7-1 record and a playoff berth, but the team’s record worsened in every season.

While Kafka won his last two games and received an interview for the full-time position, he is unlikely to get the Giants’ head coaching job.
Harbaugh is spending the next few days watching film of Dart and Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward as he weighs his options, according toThe Athletic.The veteran coach will begin formally interviewing with teams next week, according to multiple reports.
