Miami (Ohio) University honours Ravens’ John Harbaugh with statue

OXFORD, Ohio – John Harbaugh likes the pose on his bronze statue.

The Baltimore Ravens coach was added to Miami (Ohio) University’s Cradle of Coaches on Saturday. He unveiled a sculpture of himself with right arm raised in triumph. Harbaugh says he’d like to strike that pose a few more times this season.

It’s the ninth statue on a plaza outside the football stadium in Oxford, Ohio, joining the likenesses of Earl “Red” Blaik, Paul Brown, Carm Cozza, Paul Dietzel, Weeb Ewbank, Ara Parseghian, John Pont and Bo Schembechler.

Harbaugh, a 1984 Redhawks graduate, was honoured for leading Baltimore to a Super Bowl title two years ago. The Ravens finished 8-8 last season, the first time they failed to reach the playoffs in Harbaugh’s six seasons.
