[News] Late For Work 1/19: Joe Flacco Reacts For First Time To Ravens Keeping Marty Mornhinweg

[balfan23]

“... you have to realize that a lot of what we’ve been doing isn’t necessarily his offense."

Understood. This is the main reason why I didn't freak when I learned that Marty was staying on. There is a ton of room for improvement in terms of having well designed plays that are tailored to suit the skill set of the players we have. I'm really hopeful that he can get this unit on track AND sticks around for more than a year or two.

I don't expect Reed to coach in Baltimore till there is a regime change of HC. I don't think Reed truly wants to coach under Harbaugh because they didn't get along very well and its documented. Also, I don't know if he likes to be in a regimented coaching environment. He's perhaps by nature a free flower much like he was when he played. That doesn't a good coach make.

So true. There are people around Baltimore that don't like Ed Reed and wanted him gone years before SB.but the people in Baltimore can relate. Ed's knowledge of the QB's he faced is priceless. You don't have to like the man but you have to respect the man. Something a know-it-all will never get.

Well - Ed is my all time favorite Raven and I'd LOVE to see him with the organization. However, there is no denying that players with off the charts skills rarely succeed in the coaching ranks. My favorite quote relating to this was when Curt Flood said how worthless it was to try and get hitting pointers from Stan Musial. He said it was like asking a bird how to chirp.

hope harbaugh does not promote hewitt or horton. go out and get somone with a history of success. college ranks possibly?

Harbaugh's lack of a great network (being a special teams coach and because he has only coached on 2 NFL teams) and the fact that he is fiercely loyal even if at the cost of improvement means he'll promote from within.

I think you are failing to consider both his father who is well entrenched and his brother, who is still getting NFL coaching offers, then yes he is limited. But he has already shown he has no problem hiring people who coached for both his brother and his father which opens up a number of quality coaches in the NFL. It doesn't matter, to the naysayers, Harbaugh could have gone to the playoffs 9 years in a row and won a super bowl and some of these so-called Ravens fans would want him fired because he only won one super bowl in 9 tries. Everyone wants to win every year and if the fans had their way, only Bellicek would have a job and 31 other coaching jobs would be terminated for lack of production. Thank goodness the fans don't run things.

He has brought in coaches who worked with his father like Greg Mattis and he is where he belongs...in college. He is too loyal to guys who have won nothing.

Belichick is the only current coach to win multiple Superbowls. He knows what he's doing and it's not just luck. Harbaugh has not gone to the playoffs in 9 straight years that again would be Belichick. Harbaugh has missed the playoffs 3 out of 4 years. Do you see the difference?

My point is that Harbaugh has been given a pass long enough. The talent on this team is good enough to be in the playoffs. I think coaches are supposed be at least as good as the talent they have. Great coaches get more out of their team than the talent allows.

C'mon man.....talent on this team? There is no Zeke/Dez/Witten, no Bell/Brown, no Brady/Edelman/Blount, no Julio/Freeman/Coleman. West, Dixon, SSS, Wallace are #2 or #3 guys on those play-off teams.

And you're grading a coach against one of the best coaches in the history of league in Belichick. That's like saying Weddle has to go because he's no Ed Reed. Great players raise the players around them so it's Weddle's fault that Wright sucks? We missed the play-offs cause Wright couldn't cover Michael Crabtree and Antonio Brown.

I said the talent on this team is good enough to make the playoffs. You are telling me that the Ravens have less talent than Miami or Houston? We may not a superstar, but we are good enough to be in the playoffs.

Comparing Harbaugh to Belicheck was in response to another post. Which was to say that Harbaugh is not a good coach because he can't get the best out of his players like a Belicheck. Without Brady, they go 3-1. When we have a full squad, we are 8-8. It's ridiculous. Once Harbaugh is gone next year, he will always look back on the great opportunities he had here and wander how he squandered them.

Reed will not coach in Baltimore as long as Harbaugh is our HC. No way.
