Roman is Gone

[oldno82]

Yep. That's important too. I like what I've seen from Monkton but there's so many candidates and teams in the hunt I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much.

[tsylvester]

Chargers are off of the list of teams in need, Kellen Moore has been inked.

 

[papasmurfbell]

That had to be arranged in advance.  Fired this morning and hired this afternoon.

[oldno82]

I thought the league had a policy of no fires/no hires in the week before the SB. Quite possibly I'm wrong but didn't it exist at one time?

It was proposed, but not passed

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Seahawks QB Coach Dave Canales Requested for Interview in AFC North

The Seattle Seahawks could now find themselves in danger of losing one of their longest-tenured coaches.

The Baltimore Ravens have requested to interview with Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Dave Canales for their vacant at offensive coordinator, per reports Saturday from ESPN.

The Ravens parted way with offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Thursday.

Canales, who has been an assistant with the Seahawks since 2010, was a major reason for the success that quarterback Geno Smith had during his Pro Bowl campaign this season. While Smith surprised the league due to his own personal late-career growth, his performance is now unofficially helping Canales earn more recognition from around the league.

Landing the offensive coordinator job in Baltimore is far from set in stone, but Canales' potential departure would end what has been a long-standing career for him in Seattle with coach Pete Carroll.

After beginning as a strength coach at USC alongside Carroll, Canales followed the would-be legendary Seahawks to Seattle in 2010. He served as the team's receivers coach from 2010-17 before focusing on quarterbacks and the passing game.

Canales could find himself with a Ravens team that has some uncertainty surrounding the future of star quarterback Lamar Jackson.

[tsylvester]

Well, he did manage to turn Gino's around

[oldno82]

There is that plus Wilson tanked after he left Seattle.

[oldno82]

Today there's news we're interviewing or will interview Monken, Canales and Outten a 2nd time.

[tsylvester]

The only one I don't understand is Outten, one year in the oc position for a team that way under performed offensively, that with a "hall of fame" qb... not much coaching experience beyond that, that would make him a viable choice.m

Give me Monkton palease..

[oldno82]

Agree on Outten---can't comprehend the attraction there. He's practically a Roman clone.

I'd be really pumped if they got Monkton too.

It shouldn’t be to hard to find someone with less football savvy than John Harbaugh. High school ranks maybe?

That’s why. Harbaugh surrounds himself with less football savy than himself. Proofs in the pudding. We’ll see?

[tsylvester]

Will it be this week? Will it be next? Will the Ravens choose the best? Who will they choose, who will it be, to bring this offense into this century..

The TE coach is in the 2nd set of interviews.  I expect him to be named right after the SB.

Please, no

[papasmurfbell]

All these interviews all over and taking so long seems so suspicious.

Here is an excellent article by Zrebiec on the Ravens head coaching search. It will bring you totally up to date and explain a lot as to why we're 2 1/2 weeks into the search and might not know anything until after the SB.

Ravens’ quest for an offensive coordinator continues - The Athletic

Well far better for us old time Raven marauders to follow rules

When he needed to find a replacement in 2014 for Jim Caldwell, who departed to become head coach of the

Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh spoke to more than 30 offensive coordinator candidates. The process took two weeks and ended with Harbaugh hiring Gary Kubiak.

It’s already been 2 1/2 weeks since offensive coordinator Greg Roman moved on in what’s being portrayed as a “mutual” decision, and Harbaugh’s quest to find his replacement is getting closer to completion. However, Harbaugh still has interest in potentially speaking with members of the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs coaching staffs, which means the Ravens could wait until a few days after Sunday’s Super Bowl before making a decision.

 

This is what we know about the situation, based on talking to sources involved with the process: Harbaugh has already had second interviews in Baltimore with three candidates after the first interviews were done via video call. Those three candidates are University of Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Minnesota Vikings pass game coordinator and tight ends coach Brian Angelichio, and former Ravens wide receivers and tight ends coach and Wisconsin offensive coordinator Bobby Engram.

At least two more candidates are expected in town Monday and Tuesday: Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Dave Canales and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Outten.

Hey thanks, Tsyl

There's some successful guys on 'the list' and at least one head scratcher in the  Denver case.

I just really hope they're waiting on the freedom of the offensive guys in KC and Philly and that they're not just stalling before naming somebody from within.

And like you, I'm a Monken fan.

[oldno82]

I had also been a Bienemy fan but then I found out it's really Andy Reid that calls the plays, so now I don't know how I feel about that one.

I would list my preferences as:

Monken, Angelichio, then Canales.

[tsylvester]

Per Shefty, and makes some sense

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy “remains a prime candidate for the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator job.

Would be nice

[oldno82]

Who would you rather have, Bieniemy, Monken, or an Eagles guy?
