The reality is the Ravens will hire the coach Lamar wants.
Seems a big part of why Harbaugh was fired is because Lamar didn't want Monken as the OC, which I 100 percent understand, but Harbaugh wanted to keep him. Harbaugh probably "lost the locker room" largely because he let Monken do the stupid shit he did- like refuse to run the ball in the AFC championship game against KC who had a suspect run defense(Ravens were the best running team in the league), and leaving Henry to rot on the bench in the 4th quarter of the NE game a couple weeks ago when the Ravens had an 11 point lead, with a defense that is famous for blowing 4th quarter leads under Harbaugh. Run the fucking ball and eat clock in that situation and you keep the crappy D off the field and you win the game.
