Bisciotti and DeCosta Press Conference

[oldno82]

They're not making the final choice of a head coach, they are conducting the first interviews and winnowing down the list from the 15-20 possibilities to eventually 5 from which it will be Bisciotti's decision after a full day interview with their input. Any medium to large scale organization would handle the process the same way. 

And lets not forget that Ozzie is part of the search team as well.

Say you as edc and sashi want a specific guy.  Then you push him through and only let through 2 other less qualified guys.   Then Steve sees the guy you liked.  That is not a new concept.

[tsylvester]

The Biscuit said it is a team/family desicion, they will all have a say in who is hired, him included who will have the final say. Selective hearing papa Ole pal

[papasmurfbell]

How is the guy who has made a career hiring ppl evaluating everyone?  How does he get that feeling about a guy if he doesn’t talk to them?

[oldno82]

He’s interviewing the finalists. His team of EDC, Sashi, and Oz are combing through the others to give him a manageable list which he, with those trusted lieutenants will reach a consensus on. If no consensus evolves, Steve will have the ultimate say. 
 

Again, this is how it’s done at many high level organizations.

[papasmurfbell]

Again what has sashi done in his whole career to make you trust his judgement?  They can easily stack the deck for their guy who might not be the best guy.

[oldno82]

Well, all I can say is, I can't see the group of 3 conspiring to stack the deck. Especially when Ozzie is a part of the group. I think they'll whittle down the list to a manageable number and give it to Steve, who with their input, will shoot for a consensus or if that doesn't please him, he has the power to just make the pick. I have a lot of confidence in Bisciotti to make a good decision.

None of us at this point know who is going to emerge as the new coach so all bets are off until we see (if we see) a list of the final 5. 

At this point, I remain hopeful especially with the list of interviews they've conducted so far.

Not I with those 2 failures getting first choice.

I get your trepidation, we don't know how ir what these three are looking for in a coach. Only Ozzie has really been through this and he did pretty well. The Biscuit was in on the Billick firing Harbs hiring as well.

Yes, the wrong coach could set this team back 5 years or more, same as drafting the wrong quarterback or signing the wrong one for that matter.

But one thing this team has a core talent, it's not as if this team was horrible like says the Raiders or Browns for years and it is here we go again.

This team is only now 1 season removed from a true Super Bowl contender.

There are a few coaches out there who appear to be great choices in Minter, Flores and the like.

Yes, most of us chose to have "faith", "trust" pick your word, in the organization to make the right choice, they did with Billick and Harbs and got 2 Super Bowls, many great games, and seasons.

Unlike the Browns, Raiders, Jets, and their ilk.

Where did sashi come from?  There is a quote I like.  Trust but verify.  I have verified what the 2 screw ups have done.

at least I don’t have group think.  I would put my ravens predictions far and away better than the vast majority of ravens fans.
