John Harbaugh may not be a die-hard Taylor Swift fan, but he is definitely interested in her relationship with Travis Kelce. During an interview with We, the 61-year-old Baltimore Ravens head coach and co-founder of Harbaugh Coaching Academy shared that his daughter Alison has taught him a lot about Taylor Swift.

Harbaugh confessed that he couldn't call himself a Taylor Swift fan because he isn't familiar with many of her songs. However, the ones he has heard from his daughter have impressed him. He finds her songs excellent and believes she is incredibly talented. Watching her perform leaves him in awe of her immense talent.

When Swift, 34, started dating Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce, also 34, in the summer of 2023, Harbaugh found himself wondering if this relationship might lead to the talented tight end's departure from the league. This possibility crossed his mind as he considered the potential impact it could have on his coaching staff and the team.

"I hope they get married," Harbaugh expressed, adding, "I hope they have a bunch of kids. Maybe he'll decide to retire soon to focus on his family life."

Harbaugh further mentioned, "I would support that decision."

Harbaugh thinks Swift and Kelce's relationship is really cool and he's cheering for them.

As Harbaugh gets ready for his 17th season coaching the Ravens and facing off against Kelce and the Chiefs on September 5, he is focused on guiding the future sports leaders.

Earlier this month, Jack Harbaugh, along with his father, brother Jim Harbaugh, and college basketball coaching icon Tom Crean, launched the online Harbaugh Coaching Academy. This non-profit organization aims to provide a valuable resource for coaches working in various sports at all levels of play.

Jack Harbaugh shared with Us the inspiration behind the Academy's creation. He mentioned thinking about whether such an idea already existed. To their surprise, they found that no one was offering anything quite like it. While there are websites offering tips on specific skills like lacrosse shooting or basketball dribbling, the Academy offers a unique opportunity for in-depth conversations and insights. They are excited to see where this new venture will take them.

The Harbaugh Coaching Academy offers a wide range of videos with valuable advice, stories, and lessons shared by top sports personalities like Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, Rams head coach Sean McVay, and former NFL coach Dick Vermeil.

Throughout his extensive coaching career spanning decades, Harbaugh has witnessed significant changes, especially as head coaches have increasingly become the public face of their respective teams.

Being a modern-day coach comes with a lot of responsibilities, according to Harbaugh. As a head coach, you are accountable for every decision made within the program. It's incredible to think about how many people are now involved in the process. The scope of organizations and teams has expanded significantly compared to the past.

Harbaugh admitted that part of the job includes addressing controversial incidents involving individuals in the organization, just like Reid had to do with Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.

"It has probably always been like this to some extent," Harbaugh noted. "But now, with social media, everything is on a larger public scale. People constantly ask for your opinion on various aspects of life. Whether it's a speech, a commencement address, or just a post on social media, everyone wants to know your thoughts. It's like, 'Do I always need to have a response?'"

Harbaugh added, "This is just the era we are living in, so it doesn't really surprise me."

When these situations arise, Harbaugh mentioned that he has become skilled at dealing with them. He emphasized the importance of respecting people's personal space and their right to be themselves. Each person is on their own unique journey, and it's crucial to acknowledge and honor that.
