What's our name?

RAVENS

The “What’s our name?” refrain came from an inspirational speech head coach John Harbaugh’s father, Jack, gave to the team the week before the season opener. Jack, who was a highly-successful college coach for 41 years, shared an anecdote about Muhammad Ali. Jack emphasized how Ali earned his name by how he performed in the ring. He told the story of how Ali, who had just changed his name from Cassius Clay, beat former world champion Ernie Terrell, who refused to call Ali by his new name.

“Ali earned the acknowledgment of his name when he pummeled Terrell,” Jack said. “Every time he hit Terrell, Ali would shout at him, ‘What’s my name? What’s my name?’ When Ali won, everyone knew his name. Now, it’s time for you guys to earn your name, Ravens. What’s your name?” And, of course, the players responded by saying “Ravens.”
