REGULAR SEASON: 41-23 (.641)

POSTSEASON: 3-3 (.500)

PRO CAREER: Named head coach of the Indianapolis

Colts on January 25, 2012. In four years as head coach,

Chuck Pagano has led the team to a 41-23 regular sea-

son record, including three consecutive 11-5 seasons

and playoff appearances from 2012-14. Currently, Paga-

no’s .641 winning percentage ranks fourth among active

head coaches in the NFL. In the process, he became only the second head coach

in NFL history to earn 11 wins in each of his fi rst three seasons with a team and

became the third head coach in Colts history to reach the playoffs in each of his

fi rst three years (Ted Marchibroda, 1975-77 and Tony Dungy, 2002-04).

The Colts fi nished the 2015 season with an 8-8 record and were 4-2 within the

AFC South Division. With a victory in Week 5 at Houston, Indianapolis improved its consecutive win streak within the AFC South Division to 16 games, which set an NFL record.

In 2014, Pagano led the Colts to their second straight AFC South Division title

and fi rst AFC Championship Game since 2009. The team recorded a perfect

6-0 division record in back-to-back seasons for the fi rst time in franchise history.

In 2013, Indianapolis earned the division title and won an AFC Wild Card Playoff

game against the Kansas City Chiefs that marked the second-largest comeback

in NFL postseason history.

In 2012, the Colts overcame the loss of Pagano to acute promyelocytic leukemia

for 12 games and responded with seven fourth quarter or overtime game-winning

drives en route to an 11-5 campaign. He previously spent four seasons with the

Baltimore Ravens, the last (2011) as the team’s defensive coordinator. Pagano

also served as the defensive backs coach of the Oakland Raiders (2005-06) and

the secondary coach of the Cleveland Browns (2001-04).

94), Miami (1995-2000) and North Carolina (2007).

PERSONAL: Born in Boulder, Colo. on October 2, 1960. He and wife, Tina, have

PRO CAREER: Super Bowl-winning head coach John Harbaugh enters his ninth season at the helm in Balti-more. He has led the Ravens to a playoff berth in six (2008-2012 and 2014) of his eight seasons, and in 2012, captured the franchise’s second Super Bowl champion-ship.

Under Harbaugh’s guidance, the Ravens have secured an appearance in three AFC Championship games (2008, 2011 and 2012). Baltimore is one of only fi ve teams with at least six playoff berths in the past eight seasons. Additionally, un-der Harbaugh, the Ravens’ 10 playoff wins since 2008 rank as the NFL’s most.

In 2014, the Ravens posted a 10-6 record en route to capturing a 30-17 victory at Pittsburgh in the Wild Card round. In 2012 the Ravens seized the franchise’s second Super Bowl championship. Baltimore topped the Colts, Broncos and Pa-triots to advance to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, where the Ravens bestedthe San Francisco 49ers by a fi nal of 34-31. In his initial season with the team (2008), Harbaugh set an NFL record that season for most total wins (13) by a team with both a rookie head coach and a rookie starting quarterback (Joe Flacco).

Harbaugh spent his fi rst 10 NFL seasons (1998-2007) with the Philadelphia Ea-gles. He was the team’s secondary coach in 2007, after nine seasons as its special teams coordinator. He was voted the 2001 NFL’s Special Teams Coach of the Year by his coaching peers.
