Given what Jim Irsay said about how the Colts Head Coach will be expected in the coming days, that tells me Bieniemy is going to be named the new Head Coach of the Colts.

Eric going to Indy makes sense on multiple levels.

Irsay wants his wonderful interim coach who won them so many games

Why the Ravens are just fine at running back
There have been some questioning whether or not the Ravens need to add to their running back room this offseason. Here is why they don't.

Not sure he'll make the move but he'd be dumb not to consider a switch, assuming he misses out on a HC job again. Clearly some other things at play beyond just the Andy Reid aspect, but at some point, have to try something new to get where you want to go.
if you read his statement carefully, it really doesnt surprise me
all it really says is - i wanna be the Colts HC but for now im busy with the superbowl and happy to just focus on that

EB is my guy. I know he comes with a lot of question marks, but I think he’s hellbent on showing the NFL what he’s capable of as a play-caller without being overshadowed. Might even be an #SIIE the day after the Super Bowl @Dom McRaven

5th year option now set for 2020 draft picks. If Ravens exercised, Queen would be slotted in at a little over $12.7M for 2024.
Also known as... that ain't happening. Will be interested to see if they pick up the option (they likely will) but can't imagine he stays next year on that #.

Hope he stays but...
I'd be shocked if they picked it up. That number is now fully guaranteed (used to be guaranteed only for injury). Could conceivably pick up the option and trade him after the season but that seems like a risky proposition.

I suppose. I think if they decline the option, they pretty much trade him this year. Especially if Lamar's on the tag.
Maybe they'll be content with a mid-round comp pick out of him in 2025, but I think they'll look to get max value this offseason potentially. I could certainly see him getting traded around the draft.
Yeah I wasn't on board with trading him, but now that the numbers are out, I'd at least listen. Probably the only realistic trade chip sans Lamar that could garner something worthwhile. Would imagine it'll depend on the return though. 3rd round or less? Might as well keep the player, hope he ascends, and you get the same or something similar comp pick wise. 1st or 2nd? Take the deal and run.
Are The Ravens really in the position to hire a coordinator with a lot of question marks though? I'm really not seeing how EB somehow can transcend LJ game. I think fans just look at The Chiefs offense and think that EB can just go to another team and replicate that when in all reality I don't even think any coach that has been hired from Andy Reid staff on the offensive side of the ball has been able to replicate what The Chiefs do on offense.

Ironically most of the "Reid tree" guys have been defensive coaches, but on the offensive side, you basically had Matt Nagy (a failure) and then Doug Pederson, who's clearly NFL-HC quality and has had pretty good offenses everywhere he's been.
yep and they have until right after the draft

I mean at this point, I'm just happy to see what fresh new looks our future OC will provide to this offense. If it's EB, awesome. I just haven't really thought of #SIIE'ing anyone for OC, but I'll root for yours though lol.

You're certainly not wrong. I guess the Nagy one is a little hard to judge for me. Trubisky never was, isn't, and never will be a guy you can actually win with. So idk.
Coaching is so hard to judge because it's not able to be deconvoluted from the players

Ugh that sucks. Queen and Ro were such a great tandem. If we get Lamar back on the long term deal and have wiggle room to add valuable FA, then I hope Queen stays. Even if we lose him for a 3rd round comp vs a 2nd round trade.
