Thanks, tsyl!

Could be.

good news: Warhop's going to Cleveland to be Monken's O-line coach.

They would probably have to do that if they want Cleveland to give their permission for us to interview him since that would be a promotion instead of a lateral move for Schwartz.

I just found out that WBAL-TV is streaming this on their website tomorrow rather than broadcasting it like I thought. So, if you're interested in seeing it, fire up your internet tomorrow at 11:30am and go to their website. I'm guessing that maybe the Ravens website might have it too.

C'mon, Cleveland, give us Schwartz!

Well, we could always bring back Matt Cavanugh.

Wow! The Monk to Cleveland! Another ex-Raven who might come back to haunt us? I'm glad for him. He deserves a shot. Just wish it was some other team in another division with a better organization!

Well, here's some interesting names. What about Davis Webb? https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/ravens-head-coach-coaching-search-2026.

I've been wondering about Monken...why hasn't Harbaugh hired him yet...why haven't the Giants reached out to the Ravens to release him? Maybe the Ravens will announce something on coordinators tomorrow when they have the presser on Minter.

We seem to be rapidly running out of OC candidates. Anybody here thoughts on who they'd like to see?

WBAL-TV will be showing Minter's first press conference live this Thursday at 11:30am.

I don't know. Good question. I'd hope the DC and HC would collaborate on those hires.

Yep. I'm anxious to see who he picks for OC and DC and the line coaches. Will be a very interesting period in Ravens' history. Harbaugh took Horton with him to NY which is fine by me. I haven't been impressed with our special teams since he took them over.

How true. Best not to get too full of ourselves because of our limited knowledge. For the most part, all we can really do is speculate, which is 'fun' but not always factual. Now that a choice has been made, let's give Minter at least a year to get the team on his wavelength. I wanted Kubiak or Denver's DC but that didn't happen. I think Minter has just as much potential as either of them.

By the way, just read that a 'source' says Kliff is 'not high on Minter's list of potential OCs'. Take that for what it's worth.

I agree with that analysis. Lamar getting hurt and losing Joe D'Allesandris as line coach did Monken in. We didn't have a good backup QB at the time and the replacement O-line coach just didn't pan out.

It's official. Opening up the topic for comments on Minter and his potential staff... Joe Brady being considered for OC along with Kingsbury. I don't know him real well, but Minter seems alright to me given his background: solid defensive oriented coach. I'm a little disappointed that Kline Kubiak didn't get a second interview, though. He was my top choice.

Sources have McDaniel going to the Chargers as OC.

From the Sun's CJ Doon on the Ravens' first draft pick: "14. Ravens: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson The Ravens already seem to be planning for a future without star defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike after re-signing Travis Jones and John Jenkins. Woods didn’t meet high expectations in 2025, but he has the talent to be a standout pass rusher and run defender in the middle of the defense." Frankly, this is the kind of guy I don't want us to draft; a guy who had a downer season in 2025 compared to his year before. It's all too familiar that we would draft a guy who really has uneven production and then he never pans out for us. To me, this could be a wasted pick.

They pretty much have to fix the line completely anyway, don't they? I'm not sure how much Lamar has left in the tank as a running-quarterback-too many hits over too many years-but I think he is right on the verge of becoming a very good pocket quarterback provided he is amenable to the right kind of coaching.

If Lamar really wants to commit to staying here and is willing to do a revised contract before free agency, I'd keep him. But if he doesn't or is only lukewarm about it, then I'd rather have the picks and Mendoza. I was disappointed in Lamar this past season but then almost all the Ravens, players and coaches, were disappointing.

Joe Brady being called back for a second interview by Ravens.

Ah, interesting. I guess that squares with the 3 week estimate DeCosta was talking about. I wonder if they're waiting on Kubiak and/or somebody else.

Really. Sounds like if they want Kubiak, or Denver's DC, we might not know until after the SB or can they commit during the bye week before it?
