That's a really low bar, to be honest. Harbaugh is a good coach, but I don't think he's a great coach. His teams will compete, but the Ravens in recent years have had epic 4th quarter collapses -- ironically, that was what was the final straw for Daboll this year. My Ravens fan friends are largely pleased that Harbaugh has moved on. He's taking Monken with him, and they have a bit of a history of making use of Lamar's mobility in ways that exposed him to some big hits -- something that should be of concern given that Dart seems to have a death wish.

Don't get me wrong -- the Giants will definitely improve under Harbaugh (and getting Nabers back will help a lot), but they basically have only one direction to go. And I prefer the days when our division was filled with good teams anyway -- that level of competition forces you to bring it year over year, and that is what we're striving for.
