Pessimistic at best, but we shall see. Rex may be in the running for DC, cant say I love that move if it happens

Me neither, worse than Mark Sanchez as far as playing experience. Sure, they won, but not because of him, he barely threw a pass in college

I guess the writing was on the wall, afterall, letting Darnold, who played at a level worthy of MVP talk for the Vikes last year, not only duplicates it and leads his new team to the Super Bowl! Letting him walk, drafting a very raw quarterback, and planned to have him start... Yep, good bye

Not only is his defacto defensive coordinator pissed off and wants out, but now reports in the Cleveland press are saying many players, high profile, are just as upset and a "mutiny" (their words) is on the rise. Poor guy, but everything has a price

I got the impression that he will still hire a DC, but Minter will call the plays; continuation of "team work" he is installing

A really good press conference, you can see thr spark in his eyes, the hunger, gonna stress fundamentals, team work, when you out those two together you get swarm, I like that mentality a lot. He plans on calling the defense.

Oh but cant we "visualize" his coming here and it happen?!

As mad/hurt/disappointed as he was, he may force them to fire him, and be free to move on some where. With that said, he was ticked off because he interviewed for the he job and didn't get it, the same happened here. So maybe he won't want to come here and instead go somewhere he hasn't interviewed for a he job

From SI After a lengthy search process that featured multiple rejections and a slew of coaching candidates, the Browns finally landed their next head coach on Wednesday. The team announced that Todd Monken, former offensive coordinator of the Ravens, would be taking up the role vacated by Kevin Stefanski. That decision, it seems, is already having ripple effects within the building. According to reporting from NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who was a candidate for the vacant head coaching role, was “visibly upset” after learning that he’d not been given the job. Pelissero reports that Schwartz went as far as to “say goodbyes” to people in the building and told other coaches that he’s “not coming back.” Schwartz has been Cleveland’s defensive coordinator since 2023, and he remains under contract through the 2026 campaign. He interviewed twice for the head coaching vacancy before the team opted to go with Monken. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Monken is open to the idea of Schwartz staying on as defensive coordinator, though that feeling may not be mutual. The Browns’ coaching search was a mess from the start. Multiple reports indicated that various candidates had pulled out of the running for the job––even those without prior head coaching experience, such as Jaguars OC Grant Udinski and former Chargers DC Jesse Minter (who took the Ravens’ job). Now that they’ve finally landed their next coach, that decision has seemingly fractured the locker room and could even lead to the departure of their defensive coordinator, who has been one of the most influential individuals in the building in recent years.

I hope he doesnt keep Swartz, who was also in the running for their head coach. Would love to have him here

With he had a better shot with a better org, their qb situation is a mess, their front office too.

Webb is taking the round table of interviewing for head coach jobs and as an oc for a few teams. Ravens have requested an interview. He is intersting, former qb, good college qb, not so good pro. Worked under Payton, helped develope Nix who has turned into quite a pro. But he has never called plays, been a qb coach and passing game coordinator. That is not to say he will fail, but my thinking; we have a first year head coach, I would think you want someone with at least some experience as a coordinator, no? As for Todd, he has interviews set up to be head coach, so we shall see. The Giants are next up to interview web.

They seem to be pretty high on Doyle, if reports are true. He had some good "teachers", I'm still holding out hope for Monken

He is considered one of the best by people in the know, and 2 games is not exactly a lot of film time

I expect change on the offensive line, at the least just Faalele, possibly both guards and at least 1 tackle. A fresh set of eyes, a different view of the players and yes, better coaching. Remember, a side from 1 player on the line, Vorhees, that line in each of the past 2 years, was one of the best. As for rankings, especially by PFF, meh, they are for selling hits and clicks, fantasy & such. If Kirk Cousins, a statue, could have that team 1 game from the playoffs after their horrible start, yeah, I give this guy a lot of room

Look who was qbing for them.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-to-hire-dwayne-ledford-as-run-game-coordinator-ol-coach Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Baltimore is set to hire former Atlanta run game coordinator/offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford for the same job and title. Ledford, 49, had served as the Falcons line coach since 2021, adding run game coordinator to his title when Raheem Morris became head coach in 2024. Ledford spent time with several franchises as a player, appearing in nine games for San Francisco from 2000-2003

Joe Brady signs to become the next Bills head coach. So he is out of the running, if he ever were, for oc here Ravens have asked permission to interview Bears oc Declan Doyle.

I get your point, but a db coach should not just be teaching one type of coverage. Each coach, yes, has a slightly different way they want to have, in this instance, dbs plays coverage. But, as Billick did with his offensive players, the hc, if knowledgeable on one side of the ball or the other, lays out how they want that side to be. Now in this case, Minter worked with Minkens and they have the same approach to playing defense, so it make good sense. Hey, maybe Minter is going to be the DC afteralll, who knows.

As first reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Lions assistant head coach/wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery has been requested to interview for the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator job. Montgomery first joined the Lions in 2023 as the team’s running backs/assistant head coach.

Have a say? Sure, but staff is uo to the head coach, who also happens to be a defensive coordinator. Now reciever coach, maybe you have something to gripes about

Right!.special teams has largely been not very good, not Rams bad, but still, could use improvement
