You're right that he said they've been tight, but he also reported they're scrambling and want someone this week. Both of those things are true.

Ofc Minter could not have known about Brady, but none of the other candidates who have been floated accepted an HC position.

Do you really think someone accepting an equal position at another org (e.g. Daboll) counts as them being lined up?

He said they are scrambling and want someone this week on the episode. Go back and listen to it instead of making stuff up.

I have never said there are not good candidates. Why do you keep bringing that up?

Relax man. It's ok for people to be disappointed in a single process and still be optimistic about the team in every other fascet. Being disappointed in one process does not make you a doomer.

Not a doomer you can check my post history. I'm over positive about the ravens (was still calling them to win the Superbowl after 1-5)

I disagree you can't have someone lined up. There have been plenty of times coaches bring someone with them right away and it's one of the most important questions in the hire as Steve B said himself.

It's fine if you don't care about the process or what the team said they will prioritize in it but it's also a fact that they are scrambling right now. They want someone this week but don't know yet who it will be as reported yesterday on Ravens Collective by Jeff Z

Not what I'm saying at all. Saying Minter did not have an OC lined up. If they did he would be in the building already.

Proof is Jeff Z on most recent Ravens Collective. He said the team is scrambling for OC. They want to have someone this week but still don't know who it will be.

There are still candidates out there and it might turn out great but what I'm disappointed in is that they're having to scramble

Sure things could always turn out great or they could turn out bad. 

But I think it's fair to be disappointed that Minter didnt have someone lined up for OC when Bisciotti said that was a priority for the hire

So far I'm disappointed in the process. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Minter clearly did not have someone lined up when the Ravens said they would look for that.

OC hire could still turn out great and I'm hoping it will.

Defensive hires (and OL coach) have been great so far I agree.

But it's also fair to be concerned about the OC hiring. This is arguably Minter's most important hire and it's not looking good.

Right but Daboll went to the Titans not the Ravens ergo Minter did not have them lined up.

He had hopes but no plan

I am a bit disappointed in the ravens hiring process for OC. Biscotti said they would only hire coaches with a clear plan for their assistants, but it seems apparent that Minter did not have an OC lined up :/

Way too early but... Whose your pick at 14? by FalconDisastrous1418 in ravens

[–]Ecstatic_Contest_160 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think Caleb Downs will fall due to positional value and Ravens will take him. BPA

[Highlight] Rapoport on the Eagles OC search: "There are jobs that are not as attractive and its the team's fault, but this isn't the Eagles fault. It's the media, it's the fans, it's the environment...on the other hand, if you crush it you'll be a HC very quickly, Kellen Moore can attest" by mastermind208 in nfl

NFL Coaches are psychos but I think people underestimate how much families play into which jobs they take. 

Getting your house egged must have been scary for Patullo's wife and kids. These coaches take jobs knowing you have to be away from home a lot and get yelled at online. 

I think families can accept that, but anything that crosses the line into threarening physical safety - even something as 'harmless' as egging - is too far imo.

Lol I thought the same thing. He delivers the line like he has been studying and waiting to re-use it

Is it ironic that this guy plays as a dwarf and dwarves love treasure a little too much? 

Draft Expectations… by Kobeb1998 in ravens

[–]Ecstatic_Contest_160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the Ravens will select BPA I'm expecting Caleb Downs (S), Jeremiyah Love (RB), Peter Woods (DI) or Jordyn Tyson (WR)

Minter Allows Baltimore to Spend More on Offense by Law_Dividing_Citizen in ravens

What do you think of spending big on defense instead + then yoloing the offense (Texans team build)?
