One of the luxuries BB has enjoyed is having the same OC on the staff in some capacity for the past 19 years, save the year and change McDaniels was away. JM is paid handsomely and maybe a coach like Roman can be appeased in the same manner and be in Baltimore for many years.
It is funny, I didn’t like Sarah, I thought she was a closet Steelers fan. I liked reading Kevin’s stuff. I thought he had some incredible personal behind the scenes stories that he would share. I just hate going on BR website because mostly everything is video now. I am old school and prefer to read article, not watch videos.
I often makes me wonder what would have happened if we would have kept BB as our coach when the Browns came to Baltimore. One of the first moves we made was firing him and hiring the worst coach in football -Ted Marchibroda. I thought he was horrible when he was the Colts coach. I can’t tell you how much I hated that move! I wonder how many Lombardi’s we would have had if we kept BB? I have a feeling though he may have bumped heads with Ozzie.
I did enjoy LFW under Sarah and she was better than Mink that is for damn sure. LFW is unreadable now.
I couldn’t for the life of me understand the hiring of Marchibroda. I never forgave him for that loss to the Raiders in the playoffs. I was at that game. We tried to cling to a 3 point lead and got the ball at midfield 3 possessions and went 3and out each time if I remember correctly going with basically the same run play 9 straight times. Raiders finally drove the ball to get s game tying FG as time ran out and eventually losing in double OT. The most conservative boring coach I’ve ever seen.
I remember that game and He was the most conservative head coach in the history of the game. I was so upset I had to suffer through him a second time around!
I admit when I was a kid, I thought those silver Raider helmets were super cool. I was a Ken Stabler fan. I guess, as a kid, I probably thought having the nickname “Snake” was pretty cool too.
I’m with you. I liked the black and silver even when we had the Colts. They were the only real thorn in the side of the Steelers who I hated long before the Ravens. Not sure I’d view them the same today because they were pretty darn dirty but they won by intimidation more than any team I’ve ever seen. My man was Ted Hendricks whose trade away from the Colts was just another sign that our FO was totally incompetent. So glad the organization we have now is so well run.
JM has been on staff for about that time, but he hasn't been OC for that amount of time. Charlie Weis was the OC for many years as well. That being said, consistency has definitely been a huge advantage that BB and TB have had over their Patriot career.
how many teams have a 1st round LT available in case of injury. This is a luxury that no team has at their disposal. We need more than a left tackle. Would this be great to have. No doubt, but we need other positions more than we need left tackle...or right.
BB was the one that hired Ozzie, back in Cleveland, so I'm not sure they would have bumped heads. Now would Ozzie have left to become a GM of another team so he had more control? We don't know that, but that is quite possible.
If we can get healthy and stay healthy, think we have a team capable this season, I really do.
right, like I said “in some capacity” and he’s been the OC for most of tommie’s career. Weis left in 2004, 15 years ago.
