Breaking Ravens News: Head Coaching Vacancy
Jan 15, 2008 | 2:20PM | report this

Accoriding to reports, this afternoon, the Baltimore Ravens offered offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys, Jason Garrett, the Head Caoching job, which happens to be vacant at this point.

This is definitely a terrific move by Baltimore, and the fact that they sprug on him two days after the Cowboys' loss to the Giants shows me 2 things:

1. They want him more than anyone in the league. Even that nut, Jerry Jones.

2. The two losses in the playoffs in the past two years mean nothing, this guy knoww his stuff.

This really is a great move. The Ravens defensive coordinator, R. Ryan is rumored to be in the mix of the coaching vacancy for the Atlanta Falcons. If Ryan does intend on taking that job, assuming the Falcons offer it to him, then the Ravens need a great defensive mind to make up for the loss of their skilled coordinator. Jason Garrett will more than make up for the loss of Offensive Coordinator, Rick Neuheisel.

We will have to wait and see what other head coaching opportunities pop up for Garrett before the Ravens faithful get too excited, but I believe that if he's gonna take the reigns of an organization, he'll want to start in Dallas. If the Cowboys don't offer it to him, then I wouldn't bet against him going to either Miami or Baltimore.

Rumor has it that Bill Parcells in Miami is looking to land Tony Sparano from the Cowboys, which would seriously deplete the Cowboys staff. Plus, Jones says that he will keep Wade Philips as head coach. I'm not betting against him being fired.

I mean, his logic is totally out of wack! (Philips)

He claims that after looking at the game, he believes that the better team lost the game. He said that the Cowboys outplayed the Giants, yet lost. Uhh, coach, those two genius points right there cancel each other out.

If you outplay your opponent, you win. If the better team lost, which was you, you did not outplay the winners. Get it? Besides, if you did by chnce outplay the Giants, and still lost the game, then that's your fault, Wade. Genius.

I say that Wade will get fired, and they will replace him with Jason Garrett, who will be in Atlanta or Baltimore by then. Then, they will have to find another new coach.

New Breaking News: Jerry Jones of the Cowboys says he will match any offer that the Ravens throw at Garrett. Clever move, but I don't think that it will work. If he thinks he has the potential to be a head coach, even if it is for Baltimore, I think he should take it.

BOTTOM LINE: If Garrett high-tails it out of there, Philips stays. If Jason stays, Wade goes. Not keeping both, not letting go of both.

Thanks for reading!

Baltimore hiring another "offensive genius"? Well, I guess they got a SB trophy out of Billick. But really, a new system isn't what the Ravens need. They need a franchise QB like 20-25 other teams in the NFL. McNair is done. Boller never was.

Hey Mike...

I thought Neuheisel was the OC at Baltimore??? Anyway... Baltimore just got rid of an offensive head coach (meaning he was supposed to be like a guru of offense not that he was offensive to people...). Their defense is on the ropes and that's what Billick rode to the SB... The D is getting old and players like Suggs are or will shortly be (like next year) UFAs... I think if it was up to me, I'd try on a defensive coach at this point. I firmly believe if the other team can't score you are in the game... Then worry about your offense.

Here's hoping the Boyz have to keep good ole Wade...

There ya go!

blue@orange- Sorry, just ahppens to be breaking news today. Take care!

moseby- Thanks for commenting! take care!

Dwindy- Hey, man! You're right and wrong. I got so wrapped up in the whole offensive coordinator thing that I forgot, Ryan is their D. Coordinator, and Neuheisel was, but is now the head coach for UCLA.

Take care!

sooooooo......

I'm right and I'm right? I knew slick Rick was outta there (and I think that was a good deal for him AND UCLA) and the D coordinator is being considered? That fits what I was saying... Like the insurance dude that played with Bill Murray on Ground Hog Day... Am I right? Am I right????

Later!

Yes, you actually are 100% right. The past tense on the word "was" instead of "is" makes you completely correct. Sheesh! Today's not my day.

First I screw up the math on YeeMum's total in the Playoff Pick 'Em game, now I'm giving out bad statements. AyAyAy!

Take care!

If this is true, and Garrett bolts to Baltimore, then the Cowboys will NOT have the same success next year that they had this year. Wade Phillips rode Garrett's offense to the best record in the NFC. Jerry Jones hired Garrett before he hired Phillips so I think Jones will keep Garrett as the HC and let Phillips go before he lets Garrett get away.
