Jason Garret Offered Ravens Job

Soup's Uncle · 01-15-2008, 03:46 PM

Yeah I hate the Ravens as if they were an NFC east team

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 01-15-2008, 04:38 PM

Personally, I would hate to see Saunders go to Dallas if we let him go. I still believe that, with a good QB, Saunders' offense can do wonders. I'd hate to see what Saunders would be able to do with Romo, Witten, T.O., Barber, et al.

hope he takes it...lets get him out of dallas...add to the disarray.

100% agree...it wasn't that long ago that the Chiefs were running all over everybody and trent green was a star. Saunders' system works, and we'll see the fruits of past few years come to blossom next year. I'm very excited to see what we can accomplish with a youth infused offensive line (depth), a big receiver, and a motivated campbell (collins on his heels).

*assuming we draft/sign o-line help and a receiver.

Hire the kid, Garrett out, hopefully. Then Sparano out, looks like he will be the next HC in Miami. The girls will be losing a lot of there coaching talent.

GARRETT HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has left Baltimore without becoming the team's new head coach.

Per Schefter, the Ravens didn't want to let Garrett get away. He'll now head to Atlanta, where the Falcons will try to do to the Ravens on Garrett what the Dolphins did to the Falcons on Bill Parcells.

Meanwhile, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reportedly is ready to pay through the nose (or other orifice) to keep Garrett.

This one is suddenly getting very interesting. At least Cowboys fans now have a reason to eat some of that leftover popcorn.

I don't think Romo is the type of quarterback to execute Saunders' system though, do you? He's too mobile and experimental in the pocket. Maybe he could run it succesfully but it would require him changing his game and mitigating a lot of the adventages his athleticism grant him.

At which point Wade will be exposed for the mediocre head coach he is. Still never won a playoff game...

GMScud · 01-15-2008, 07:35 PM

I think Jerry Jones is in a tough, tough spot. It would be really messed up to fire Wade after he went 13-3 in very first season with the team. Sure they didn't win a playoff game, but you can't fire a guy for winning 13 games in his first year with the team. The consensus is that Garrett is not only ready to be a head coach, but a darn good one at that. Jerry loves him, and in my opinion he's probably regretting not promoting him last year. Wade's a defensive guy, and now Dallas is about to lose their two best offensive coaches. I know Jerry will pay out the ying yang for Garrett to stay, but if it's not as the head man, I don't know if that will cut it.

I love this. In one week Dallas went from the #1 seed/NFC superbowl favorite to a total mess. Yard sale on their coaches, TO crying, a huge playoff choke... Makes me smile.

SmootSmack · 01-15-2008, 07:44 PM

You gotta wonder if Garrett never had any intent of leaving to become a head coach, and is just forcing Jones' hand

mcarey032 · 01-15-2008, 08:03 PM

I am sorry, but Jason Garrett is just the flavor of the month. When you have keys to an offensive Jauggernaut like the cowpukes, you could be braindead and drive it. Jason Garrett, hasn't really shown me anything. Let's see how well he can coach up Kyle Boller and Troy Smith. If he does that, then I will be impressed.

BaltimoreSkins · 01-15-2008, 08:08 PM

Garrett must be playing his cards for a big deal, I can't imagine anyone wanting to go to that mess in Atlanta, coupled with poor fan support, over a franchise like Baltimore.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. It's a win-win for Garrett. Either way he's getting a phat contract.

That Guy · 01-16-2008, 07:45 PM

please, let him take two ex coaches to the mess of a team that is baltimore. everyone (in DC) wins.

hopefully we end up with GW - HC, AS - OC (now running the real offense, and not the joe gibbs pre-collins version), JG (jerry gray) - DC, new secondary coach (though walker would be a better DC, he's still at UCLA :/ )

ArtMonkDrillz · 01-17-2008, 10:54 AM

Looks like Garret is staying in dallas.

Damn, I was hoping he'd also leave so that Wade Phillips would be forced to call that yawn play 8 times a game.

Mods, should this be it's own thread?
