papasmurfbell Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 As well as this offense has been rolling and how much better Lamar has been since last yr I expect teams to come calling on Roman. So if he rolls this yr who in the hell will Harbs hire as the new OC? I really have no faith that he will make a good hire. Quote
varaven45 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Im enjoying this season too much to give this much thought. Sounds like good fodder for the off season. Quote

GrubberRaven Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Does Roman want to be a head coach? Quote
vmax Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) We were in the car leaving the stadium Sunday and we turn on the radio to hear comments and locker room talk after a huge win and we are happy as shit and all pumped up and then.....Brent Hollander or some radio head like that is speculating on losing Roman yada, yada, yada. We were screaming at the radio "Shut the Fuck Up!" Give us Ravens news! Please! This was a huge moment. He made me want to puke. Have I expressed my thoughts adequately about living in Fear and the future? It's friggn'n November! Of course the NFL annual raid on the Ravens staff will begin in January. It's a tribute to the excellent job that Harbaugh does in obtaining and developing coaching staffs. Same goes for our scouting department. Philly really laid bare that closet. They are Ravens North right now. So it's going to happen. Simply figure Roman is a Goner. He's earned it. Great for him. But he'll only leave for a HC job. No lateral move. And you can bet there are organizations that he wants nothing to do with. You can bet they have a plan in place and that they are way ahead of you on who they want to replace him. They have been consulting tons of coaches since last year about the many aspects of the offense that they are developing and implementing. It's their job to foresee events such as this and to plan for it. Not my job. Not my worry. I am powerless to do anything about it. My job is to pay for tickets, show up and bust veins out of my forehead yelling "Go Ravens!!!" It's a copy cat league. Other teams will try to go this way. Roman will go somewhere else. They will share a common problem. They have no Lamar. Edited November 21, 2019 by vmax Quote

tsylvester Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 1 hour ago, GrubberRaven said: Does Roman want to be a head coach? That's the right question.... I hope not... The real issues are further down the line. Speaking of lines, how much are the two tackles going to want, Staley and Brown, to remain here? How much is Andrews going to want to stay here? How much is Lamar going to want to stay here? How do you fit all of them under the cap? So the real question is, with all the other qbs in the league gettting well over $100 Mil, most of it guaranteed, plus the average cost of a left tackle going so high, along with guards & centers, will the owners finally make the cap different by having one exclusion player from the cap? These, in my opinion, are more pressing questions than a coach... Aside from that, this year or next, who cares, we are 8-2, 10 wins is very likely, the most important is how many will they end up with? 10 wins this year with this young team is a dream, so we know we have a window of at least 2 more years with this group... Maybe a Super Bowl, another record to fall as no running qb has won one yet. Also of note, no team has won the Super Bowl with a top 5 scoring offense & top 5 defense, as of a few years ago. Things may have changed since I was a stat maniac.... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 21, 2019 Author Posted November 21, 2019 They have time on Brown. Staley not so much. This gets back to the NE method of using talent. ID those that you keep and trade those that you dont early enough to draft their replacements. If you are proactive you can stay competitive long term. Quote
krf82 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Be patient.........................Roman wasn't picked in (just) a day! Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 21, 2019 Author Posted November 21, 2019 I think it was lucky he was brought onto the staff. I called for him to be made OC right away. I never liked Marty. Quote
vmax Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Ok...I'll share this insider information..... knowledge that I get from a friend who works at the Castle. Whenever the Ravens lose a key player or staff member, they practice an ancient ritual. The HC, coaching staff and front office gather in the conference room, pass around some beer and then sing a little Jimmy Ruffin.... "Now, becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'll be looking everyday, I know I'm gonna find a way Nothing's gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow And I'll be searching everywhere I know I gotta find a way I'll be looking..."

GrubberRaven Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 What about Urban as the next man up? Quote
tsylvester Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Brent Urban, Chris Urban, surely not Myer, Urban, the man can't take a leak without deciding he has to move on.... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 22, 2019 Author Posted November 22, 2019 They might want to look in the college ranks for an offensive mind. Quote
tsylvester Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Look to Oregon for their offensive coordinator, though Lincoln Riley would be my 1st choice, not that he would come to the NFL for anything less than a head coach job, which I don't think he is ready... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 22, 2019 Author Posted November 22, 2019 Lincoln would be amazing but yeah he will be a HC. Quote
Spen Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Why not you paps? You always know the right move and you communicate very well. Plus you don't suffer from the group thinking that most of the NFL does. Plus you're an asshole, and a lot of successful coaches are assholes. *Press conference after SB win* "This was the worst thing that could have happened to us!" Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 23, 2019 Author Posted November 23, 2019 I would not be a good OC. I am better at the player side. Quote
cravnravn Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 If Roman leaves, it has to be a perfect fit. Someone that coaches to Lamars style. Kubes was the perfect fit for Joe Flacco. Wink was not. Romans has the fit with Lamar, not sure in the college ranks who can get the same production with Lamar if Romans decides to go the head coaching route. But in the meantime, I'll enjoy this season as far as it takes me(hopefully to Miami). Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 25, 2019 Author Posted November 25, 2019 Roman went to some college OC's to further refine this offense. So a dynamic of there could do it. Tjey should watch tape of this to understand how to proceed. i also need them to bring ib a dynamic guy to be a qb coach to keep working on larmars throwing skills. Quote
oldno82 Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Hmmm...not so sure about that last part.....the current QB coach has improved Lamar's passing by almost 100% in one season. I'd look to keep him on board if possible. Maybe he would be a good OC. Quote
