  1. RAVENS’ JACKSON GETS SECOND INTERVIEW WITH 49ERS

    Posted by Aaron Wilson on January 27, 2009, 4:58 p.m.

    Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson is interviewing today for the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator job, meeting with coach Mike Singletary for the second time in the past five days, according to the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat.

     

    Press-Democrat beat writer Matt Maiocco writes that Jackson has become the frontrunner to become the 49ers’ replacement for Mike Martz, noting that the only other time a candidate interviewed twice a job offer was presented.

     

    However, former St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan decided to turn down the 49ers’ offer and is now the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator.

     

    Jackson, who coached successful Ravens rookie quarterback Joe Flacco this past season, has prior offensive coordinator experience with the Atlanta Falcons and Washington Redskins. He has worked in the Bay Area before at Cal-Berkeley and played college football at the University of Pacific in nearby Stockton, Calif.

     

    Meanwhile, the 49ers are also interviewing former Ravens receivers coach and Falcons quarterbacks coach Mike Johnson for the quarterbacks coach vacancy.

     

  2. FLACCO EXPECTED TO WIN AWARD

    Posted by Aaron Wilson on January 27, 2009, 8:57 p.m.

    After receiving zero votes for the Associated Press’ NFL Rookie of the Year award, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is expected to be named the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year, Scout.com’s Adam Caplan reports.

     

    Citing a league source, Caplan said that Flacco is expected to beat out Atlanta Falcons quarteback Matt Ryan, who won the AP rookie prize, Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte and Houston Texans running back Steve Slaton.

     

    The award will be announced at a press conference at the Super Bowl in Tampa, Fla., this Thursday.

     

    Flacco became the first rookie quarterback to win two playoff games, not committing a turnover or a sack in victories over the Miami Dolphins and the Tennessee Titans before throwing three interceptions in the AFC title game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
