John Harbaugh's transformation: from "huddle up...(bleep) you" to dancing in the lockeroom after saying the Lord's Prayer as a team. Both men in the story transformed mindsets and came out with a superbowl
I think he had to have that immediate mindset, he had to leave his mark as a HC and prove to a team consisting of two of the greatest players of all time on his defense the same way that a rookie player would have to prove themselves to an all time coach
Exactly. Your coach is your boss in a certain sense so you better be listening to him
Please...Harbaugh and his dancing 😂😂.. at last he is having some fun
Ed Reed was one of a kind. Hall of Famer...
There’s still former players that say harbuagh would check your gangster every chance he gets. Part of the whole “play like a raven”. He’ll test you
ain't nothing changed why you think Ray said he won't coach the ravens under him he don't like his authority challenged and any great leader know just because you the leader don't mean your ideas is the final say so a true leader takes into account the ideas of the people under him plus he doesn't want to lose the locker room
One word to describe Ed Reed LEGEND
Hats off to Ed, Harbaugh and the Ravens for sticking with it.
That's why this team is the measure of consistency in a league where they change coaches like dirty socks.
One ring to show for it 😂
Tom Brady spoke about Continuity recently, and your statement reminded me of that.
@@jharonc2582bruh if you’re a real football fan you know damn well how hard it is to get a Championship/Super Bowl. To get one for your franchise in a 10 year span is a W, there’s still Franchises, Colleges, Teams, out there that haven’t even gotten to a Championship Game. Foh 💀
@@jharonc2582how many teams can even say they have 1 in that time of football🤣🤡
@@jharonc2582as an organization more than 1 and it’s gonna be 2 for the HC pretty soon, also a lot of coaches don’t even have 1 so what’s the hate for?? How many u got if u don’t mind me asking🤔
John also talks abouts how he went into Baltimore with the “my way or the highway” mind set and the veteran players and culture really changed him, and now he’s seen as a players coach.. Baltimore has also been on Cutting edge when it comes to offense and defense, it’s no surprise Lamar and the offense is what it is now and also they’ve built a top 1 of 1 Defense which is both a monster in personnel and even more so scheme, running multiple fronts and coverages and continuing to switch it up every play
I think most of us have had bosses like that. It takes a real man to put his ego to the side and listen.
Yea he got real humble when he was on the hot seat then Lamar came in and saved his job. Harbaugh still isn’t a great coach. Let’s be clear. He has amazing GMs assembling amazing talent
Ed Reed much respect bruh
“Alright Let me be clear, let me be clear, let me be CLEAR! Don’t have a problem with that”.
Oh my gosh that was funny 😂
What an absolute blessing for Harbs to be able to coach a team full of absolute monsters on the field! Ed, Ray, T-Sizzle, Haloti, are some of the legends of the game. Where Coach Harbs had an impact on them, they most definitely had more of an impact on him and made him a far better coach. So much knowledge of the game.
Gaddam am a Steeler fan but i hated that Ravens team *Esp stank ass Terrell Suggs!!!*
Still hate him to this day lol!
But i always *ALWAYS* had mad respect for Ed Reed.
There were always reports that Reed and Harbaugh didn’t always mesh. Glad that Ed cleared the air. What a joy he was to watch. I miss watching him every Sunday
My favorite player ever..period..the best free safety and one of the smartest and most athletic safetys to ever grace a feild.. watching him play against arguably the best teams ever like the brady pats..the rothlessberger steelers and the manning lead coltsa d he had to see them all playoffs too...thank you Ed for all that you did for the ravens bc we truly appreciated and we love ya
I saw Ed play with one hip. He still made an interception. He was beating on his hip on the sideline the whole game. I have so much respect for Ed he could have played in any era. Could see him doing the Nighttrain neck tie no problems
In 2007 their record was 5-11, somebody needed to get in some ass. 2008, 11-5.
And Joe Flacco stepping up
@@troylee4196 Flacco's first year was 2008
Love love love Ed, need more people like him - honesty is too rare
So, 2008 was a "complicated" year for the Ravens....Ed complained earlier about how he should have won "multiple" championships, that's almost certainly a reference to the 2002-2007 Baltimore offenses under Billick. Those teams were defined by great defense and terrible offense, (that was slightly more functional in 06 until the wheels fell off in the playoffs)
Harbaugh's job was to make one, functional team out of a roster with a very unequal dynamic, so yeah, he came in and shook things up. But that's what he was hired to do.
I love Ed Reed, but he can be a mercurial, difficult man at times. Just like he was on the football field, at times, you never knew what he was going to say or do next. In the end, all that matters is that Harbaugh stuck with Ed, because he was a future HOFer and was able to make things work.
But you had NONE of these problems between Harbaugh and Ray Lewis.
I could have swore Ray Lewis talked about this as well and having a problem with Harbaugh 🤔
@@baltimoreboy42 Ray Lewis and Harbaugh had to meet and talk about how things were going to be, but there was never an open confrontation between Ray and Harbs in front of the team, and serious bad blood in the relationship for years like there was with Ed. You can go watch the end of the 2010 reg season Steelers-Ravens game in Pittsburgh and see that.
"He can be difficult at times"like you know him personally 😂😂. You just going off what you heard on this interview about him having a disagreement with Harbaugh
@@Tone22845 that’s what I’m wondering because he talking like he know them or was there.
The Kyle Boller era was a difficult time to be a Ravens fan; there were so many heartbreaking defensive losses.
I was on that 2012 team
We had a special team but I remember when John showed up. Me and Ed use to talk about it all the time...eventually came full circle
Why you lying like that Romney?😂😂 I like the ad tho keep grinding
I was too. shit was wild, me and ray was always murderin and stuff on the weekends lol good times
Oh yeah, I got murdered by Ray Lewis that season. Great team glad they murdered me and Harbaugh got straightened out
Oh yeah, I got murdered by Ray Lewis that season. Great team glad they murdered me and Harbaugh got straightened out
Huge Ed Reed fan. When Coach Harbaugh first arrived he immediately went into getting rid of University of Miami players. And as a Ravens fan I can say we had a solid core of players from the "U". It wasn't long after coach's arrival. That we only had two. Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. However, things have worked themselves out since 2008. GO RAVENS!
Right, they brought in a Miami native (Lamar) and have surrounded him with other Florida players. Guess Harbaugh found out his way was going to have him on the highway
Bull.
Early on, the Ravens team Harbs inherited had egos and big contracts, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, and Harbs was brought in (and Billick was fired) to bring some discipline. The team has changed and Harbs has grown. I’ll say this - I think the post Lamar team has more a humility/ team oriented approach which gells a lot more with Harbs’ view of the world and I think he’s having the most fun coaching that I’ve seen. It really helps that the whole team is so focused on the ring. If the players are locked in, coach needs to do less.
Inherited huge egos? No, he inherited LEGENDS. FOOTBALL ROYALTY. Harbs is a nobody when in the room with those guys. He was about to get fired until Lamar saved him. Let’s put some respect on these legends name.
@@beatpaddonlenbo9094brotha I’m not saying your wrong but Human Ego can be a bitch regardless of position/status. I’m a man a of duality so I get both sides. But if Harbaugh was hired to lead these known men that says a lot.
@@beatpaddonlenbo9094but you can’t say all this like he’s not a GREAT head coach,the stats show for it the guy is great you know it
Wow ! Thank you Ed Reed for keeping it real 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜 Go Ravens 🐦⬛ & apparently John has matured a whole lot from those days
My favorite player and favorite coach. 😮
Man hearing the way guys like Ed and Ray talk and you truly understand how there was no chance they wouldn’t be legends.
As a raven fan I believe what ed just said is one of the main reason it took so long for us to get back to a championship game since we last won it all “Harbs”
Never heard Ed Reed speak til now. Him , Ray and the Ravens were in their own tier and they couldn't be stopped by anyone
Harbaugh based off this story was INCREDIBLY lucky to have a great player who was a vet willing to speak up like that because if he didnt and coach kept that same attitude the team would've quit on him later on during tough stretches
ED ONE OF THE BEST EVER( MY HEARTS WITH DAWK)!!
Ed Reed….one of the best ever. Not just one of the best safeties ever…one of the best football players ever.
As a steelers fan i second this.
I hated that 07-2012 team (Ravens) but laways had love for Ed Reed.
Dude still handled business.
Period.
@@leonardobraynen1524 Yessir!👍🏻
REEEEEEEEED!! Miss that man foreal. We have Ray and Reed 2.0 in Hamilton and Ro, but those 2 can never be duplicated.. but maybe the Superbowl success can be. I'd love to see a 3rd Lombardi come home to the City! This time.. I'd be able to share that memory with my kids.
Favorite player ever
Bengals fan here. Always had much respect for Mr. Reed
Steelers fan for over 20+yrs.
Same here.
Hated That Ravens team with Lewis and Suggs.
But always respected Ed Reed.
He was *THE TRUTH!*
Ed Reed was the best shutdown corner and free safety to have ever played in the NFL. Period!
Shutdown corner. Bruh he played probably 10 total snaps as a cornerback 😂
@@jordan410x Semantics! Ok, the best Defensive Back in the last 20 years.
@@tberman2386 hey I will agree with that. Rewed is the greatest ball hawk ever!¡!!! But shutdown corner we got some others 💪
I will never forget the day they fired coach Billick and during the Pro Bowl week ESPN interviewed Ed about coach Harbaugh. I never thought the Ravens would be this good after he got hired, hats off to John!
Something people forget is many pros really do know more than a lot of coaches.
Reed is the best player of all time. No question. When the supposed GOAT Brady wrote find #20 in his wristband play sheet you know he agrees
It was probably tough for guys like Lewis and Reed who felt loyalty to Billick for drafting them, and had to adjust to a completely different coaching style.
Ed looking sharp
Ed Reed is a fucking legend. Love this dude.
How would it compare to your College head coaching tenure
E.R.was the greatest to do it at safety...I wish we still had him...
"Let me be clear as possible". Delivers one of the most vague statements ever.
Ed Reed just exudes passion man.
Wasn't the easiest to work with it seemed, but you knew he was in it for the right reasons.
Not settling and pushing coach and himself to be better
Ed Reed, football genius.
What is this saturation in this video
Damn Ed Reed was good
How recent was this?
2018
Ed you could have saved this until the off season, Ravens don't need any distractions
Ed Reed domiated the 2000s..I'm glad he got a $B.in 2012🐦⬛👿🔥
Bro if Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are my teammates I will literally tape my eyes open and carry a pad and pen everywhere I go in that building.
Yeah I don't get that. I wouldnof been trying to prove to the. I can be great like them
I'd follow them around with pen and paper and write down everything they said. Even if it was just what they wanted for lunch 😂.
I always wonder about players being pissed off at teammates who don't take their job seriously. Especially if you have someone like Peyton, Tom Brady, Ray Lewis in the building. How do you not take your work seriously? I bet 99% of players who are busts are either just lazy or have a terrible coach.
99% of players who are busts just can't do it. Good players have the ability to watch plays develop, predict what is about to happen, and make a move that will benefit the team. Great players seem to know what's about to happen before it happens. Case in point Troy Polamalu lining up in the C-gap because he saw Pat McAfee acting all giddy and realized that Pat was about to try to run it for a touch down instead of holding the ball for a field goal.
Bros listen...harbaugh does not look at u as his brothrr...UNDERSTAND THAT
I think coach said “f*** you” because from the way how reed was explaining, yall were talking behind his back saying y’all didn’t like the system. Wrong or right i just believe that was motive behind that.
We all knew Harbs & Ed didn't get along, but they did for one goal.
Explains the loss
Needed Derrick Mason and Anquan Bolden. they already knew Joe was not Payton Manning 2013
you gotta stand on business and not let someone talk to you in such a manner. i get wanting to coach and be disciplined, but to out flat say fuck you if you don’t believe in “my” vision is crazy. no one bigger than the next person including the coaches.
Harbaugh wanted Ray Lewis to stop doing his trademark dance but teammates convinced him that was his thing don't do it and he agreed
One thing is for sure. Lamar has changed harbs for the better. He’s top 5 coach. Only 3 I know get more out of their players.

Time to get rid of Harbaugh. 2008-2012 we get to the playoffs every year, Ray, Ed, Sizzle Vet leadership in the lockeroom. 2013-2017 we make the playoffs once after that vet leadership from the SB run is gone. In this clip Reed talks about the initial power struggle between the vets and Harbaugh and if you notice Ozzie is not going to part ways with somebody like Ed Reed. Fast forward to '22, we're having melt downs in games giving up big leads and someone like Marcus Peters voices his frustration and he's out. All year nation pundits said the only team that can beat the Ravens is themselves, and Harbaugh proved them right. I am just thankful it didnt happen in the SB.
lmao we. you didn't make anything there champ.
SMD@@tommyfu9271
You can see how ed reed it's a genius in so many ways. I wish he would be a commentator, but he's prob too much of a genius to play the network's games. That must have been special team
Ed reed look like he should be Ed Douglas lol
John Harbaugh depends on his oc for success.
Love Ed but I hate how often he tells this story on John harbaugh
"So we were disrepecting coach and his system, and then coach said 'F YOU'...and i thought that was disrespectful"
I love Ed Reed, but this dont make no sense.
Ed Reed is saying that the coach needs to earn his respect and trust from the team, especially if he is a complete novice like John Harbaugh. You just cannot use four-letter words left and right and hope to intimidate great players like Ed and Ray.
And yet, Harbaugh brought that locker room together, got a ring, and very well might get a 2nd here in a few weeks. Harbaugh affected this team as much as this team affected him. @@ravivaradhan4956
Best coach.
Thank god I am the richest man in earth
Ed is speaking for himself here no other players butted heads with him like he did and I have had an experience with Reed myself. He's an asshole only wants to talk about football if he's being paid for it.
This laugh track is ridiculous
LAMAR saved HARBUM's job.
Facts real ones know 💯
That choke artist would do good to save himself.
@@HopefulNihilist Who calls the plays?
@@tommydavisjr3259
...who execute the plays?
@@HopefulNihilist Who gets the credit for calling a winning game?
It's funny how people/players who personally dealt with Harbaugh can expose stuff about that dude and fans get mad...lol...smh. You guys act like he's your lord and savior or something.
All that dancing after beating the Texans, then got whooped by the Chiefs.
Ed Reed is one of those people who makes problems from nothing
overrated coach
Harbaugh little dude cocky
There are not any coaches in the NFL there are only baby sitters… college has quickly became the same way…. Football is doomed
ok boomer
Come on Reed, ain't nobody trying to hear negative talk on Harbs...that dude appears to be a God fearing righteous kind of grown man.
Perhaps some of the players were at fault and displayed attitudes but no wait, million dollar athletes, especially black men, don't have no drama attached to their aura?
Noooooooo.
Go Ravens!
Oh please. He answered the questions honestly. Is Harbaugh infallible? He is human, correct? Are coaches always right? Are they incapable of learning and growing the moment they earn the title of coach? This is great and interesting insight. I don't see it as negative. He clearly said he respected and loves the man like a brother. Are your relationships perfect?
@@Justice777Allah Oh please, what? I'm sure Harbaugh is not "infallible" and whether or not my relationships are perfect is none of your business, and two, I'm not doing any interviews for public consumption.
Are coaches always right, probably not, who knows, but they aren't always wrong either and I know there are far more players, families of players, girlfriends of players, and the whole 9 that go on social media spewing their collective drama and grievances than any coach would ever dare.
Is it an "interesting insight" but a one-sided insight and I know firsthand that players such as Bernard Pollard tried to lead a mutiny against Harbaugh in 2012-2013.
You must be a Farrakhan NOI Muslim huh? Well, I'm Sunni Muslim, Peace be upon you, either way.
Go Ravens!
Facts
@@darnellmiller1215stop with that madness sir ; I’m Sunni Muslim but I’m a black man first and without Farrakhan.. i wouldn’t have known nor cared about Islam to begin with … borderline racist like u with the coded slander is the reason it’s so much racism within mainstream Islam … which is counter to what the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him believed in … you took a football topic and turned it personal ..: Allah is watching .. remember that
Competitive people butt heads sometimes. It's not that big of a deal.
None of those plays they showed were from 2004 lol
sloppy work. rampant mediocrity.
Joe Buck lol
Ed reed look like he should be Ed Douglas lol
