No, not that Harbaugh. His brother, John, the DBs coach with the Eagles. I'm comfortable with the decision because Harbaugh has an excellent relationship with Rex Ryan and Cam Cameron. While I'm wary of too many chefs, especially when Rex was interviewed to be the head coach and Harbaugh has no head coaching experience, I think the move is good and I think the players will be on board.
Harbaugh is reputedly extremely intelligent and energetic, which catapulted him to second place in the Ravens coaching search (Jason Garrett was first, but he is a pussy). The Ravens' owner, Steve Bisciotti, built his near billion dollar fortune on a staffing business. If his gut says this is the right guy, I'm inclined to believe it.
Plus, if he totally tanks we can always offer Cowher a boatload of money next year.

Good hire by you guys. He is the third best coach in his immediate family.
Didn't Harbaugh (the real one) play for the Ravens once, or did I make that up?
He did, in 1998.
I'm pissed. I'm really pissed. We did the "gut hire" that I didn't want, right after we got rejected by Garrett. I'm telling you, we got this year's Lane Kiffin. And since this is suddenly under the pretense of being a "long-term" solution, that just means we'll give him too much time to work with. I STILL BELIEVE THIS TEAM IS GOOD NOW WITH A QUARTERBACK!!! WHY DID WE MAIL IN THE COACHING SEARCH?!?!?
Who did you want?
I honestly think Garrett was the potential mistake here (and there are two columns in The Sun this morning to that effect). Garrett was the guy we were supposed to want. From everything I've seen and read, Harbaugh seems to be in the Cowher/Gruden mold of coaches. If that's the case, we're in good shape.
I still want Jeff Fisher somehow.
