thundercleetz Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 @AdamSchefter: Falcons are hiring Kyle Shanahan as their OC, per league source. Shanahan and Dan Quinn planned to be package deal. @RapSheet: Adam Gase would be an option there as OC RT @ravens5rox: @RapSheet so whats with the Ravens now Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 @jeffzrebiecsun: QB coach Rick Dennison and TE coach Brian Pariani are headed with Kubiak to Denver, according to a source. Quote
Robjr83 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 My guess is it'll be an unknown. Mike Shanahan is the only big name I can think of. Kubiaks former boss. Yes Washington was a disaster but how much of that was Danny Boy? Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 @jeffzrebiecsun: A couple of candidates who are out there: Marc Trestman, Adam Gase, Nathaniel Hackett, Greg Knapp. Knapp was the QB coach for Houston for two years under Kubiak. Quote
Robjr83 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Gase was on many teams short list this year. Do we bring in another one year guy? Quote
oldno82 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 This really sucks that all the best fits for us are going. All that's left with one exception is guys that have been rejected everywhere else like Gase. If I were king, I'd go after Mike Shanahan. Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Gase was on many teams short list this year. Do we bring in another one year guy?I agree. If Gase has one good year with us he'd get a head coaching job. Knapp seems like a safe option. What about Jim Zorn? 1 Quote
Robjr83 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I was thinking Zorn sense Joe liked him so much. Quote
oldno82 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Was Knapp the QB coach that turned Schaub upside down? Quote
cravnravn Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Harbs is building himself a nice coaching tree, that speaks volumes of how he runs a team, it also speaks volumes of how lucky we are to have Joe flacco under center, 3 offensive coordinators in 7 years and hes been successful under each one.

GrubberRaven Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Cameron got fired...remember that. Quote
dapetes Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Does Zorn run a west coast offense? If not forget it. This teamsoffense flourished on the ground and in the air with the west coast/Kubiak directed offense. I would like to see a young up and comer armed with a west coast background. If a west coast offensive coordinator reviews last years offensive calls it should reveal what Kubiaks plans were. Armed with that information move forward with scheme. I for one am tired of our coaches being picked off every year.Kubiak was over qualified thus it was inevitable he would soon depart. We need an intelligent young under the radar type with a west coast background. Quote
varaven45 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 What about Marc Trestman ? Rough HC exp at Chicago but how about OC ? Quote
dapetes Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 The news is that the Raiders will interview Trestman today or tommorow for an offensive coordinator position. If the Ravens want to interview him they better set something up at hyper speed. Does he run a west coast offense? Quote

We need an intelligent young under the radar type with a west coast background.Yes, Zorn runs the WCO. He's a disciple of Mike Holmgren. Ideally Mike Shanahan would be the best candidate if he wants to get back into coaching. Pat Kirwan speculated being an OC could be what Shanahan wants at this point in his career. Gets to focus on the offense, and fills the coaching itch without he pressure of being a HC. Here's my dilemma: do you hire the best OC candidate frost runs out current system, or do you hire the best PC candidate outright even if it means changing the system again? Quote
Robjr83 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 My pick would be Shanahan since he has years in the WC system. My second pick would be Gase. Even if your coach is one and done and off to a new team. You got to pick the best candidate. Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 @RapSheet: #Broncos OC Adam Gase is expected to land in either Jacksonville or Baltimore, source said. #Ravens plan to interview him soon. Doesn't sound like a tough decision for Gase Quote
oldno82 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Mike Shanahan is a good choice. I'd like to see him here. Shanahan would be staying here for a while too. Jim Zorn is available. Greg Knapp is a possibility. But Zorn is a former pro qb and that plus his previous work with Joe has to be a plus. He's also 62 so he'd be staying here for a while maybe for good.. He turned Matt Hasselback into a Pro Bowl qb. But, I'm not sure if Harbs dislikes Zorn for some reason. He did fire the guy after one season with Joe (who liked working with him). Quote

vmax Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Every year it's a big raid on the Ravens front office....if they can't get anyone there, then they raid the coaching staff....then they over pay for the Free Agents. It's a real compliment. They want what the Ravens have. On Kubiak...it has to be a money thing. They are not winning any SB's with Manning or any of his back ups. Then CAP Jail is right around the corner.Maybe he also has a bad taste in his mouth...unfinished business as a HC. He couldn't take some very deep and talented Houston teams all the way. If it wasn't for the Bengal,s he'd join a long list of 1 and done'rs. He probably wants another shot...you only live once right? I really like Kubiak. Good character and great OC. As a HC...not so sure but he is the best candidate out there. Oh...you have to remember: The Ravens set themselves up for this. They knew last year they couldn't keep Gary long...and they knew he'd take his assistants. Quote

He did fire the guy after one season with Joe (who liked working with him).Zorn and Cam didn't get along so Zorn got the ax. Mike Shanahan is definitely the number one choice, but I wouldn't mind Gase as OC and Knapp as QB coach. Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 @RapSheet: #Broncos OC Adam Gase interviews with the Baltimore #Ravens tonight, source said. Quote
vmax Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Good article by Preston on this.... It's hard to replace a coordinator like Kubiak, who had the greatest offensive mind in Baltimore since Ted Marchibroda.It's even harder when the cupboard is bare. A year ago when the Ravens were looking for a coordinator, there was a wish list that included candidates like Norv Turner, Scott Linehan, Kyle Shanahan and even Kubiak.And now the go-to list includes former Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman and former Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase. Trestman has impressive credentials and is well respected around the league. He is quiet, unassuming and cerebral, much like Kubiak. If the Ravens could sign him, that would be a great hire.Gase's best work has been in Denver, where he has been an assistant since 2009, but what's his offense? Is it his or whatever quarterback Peyton Manning wanted?http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-preston-ravens-0120-20150119-column.html Quote
