Who's more prepared than us?
!NOBODY!
Does this mean they expect to lose Caldwell after this year?

Apples and oranges, since Caldwell is offense and Spagnuolo is defense.

Unfortunately, though, I think we do lose Caldwell by February if not sooner.

As long as there's not too many cooks.

Agreed. A lot of coaches around the building now.

Can't say I'm worried. Bisciotti, Oz & Harbaugh seem to have their ducks in a row with regards to people's roles. Firing Cam showed they aren't afraid to make a bold move if the move seems apparent.

I think they see it as a situation that "we can only spend x amount on players, but support & coaches? The sky is the limit."

As long as the egos are checked at the door, it won't be a problem.

Typical ravens move... Good coach with no home you hire him in anticipation of losing another coach. Pees turns this 17th into top 5 he may be getting offers himself.

Yea this is my concern too. But in Harb I trust. I remember when he was THE hot commodity after that SB when they beat the Pats. Redskins were trying like mad to get him. The luster has obviously worn off a little since then but got to think the man still knows the game. And with the personel we have in place he could have some real impact here. I'm onboard with this move.

I'm more interested in bringing in a young guy (Shurmur?) to become the potential replacement to Caldwell after he gets snatched back up.

Does anybody really believe Steve Spagnuolo is just a Senior Defensive Assistant?? Clearly he's taking over some duties from Dean Pees!

But seriously, just another example of Harbaugh liking to get the best minds in football on the staff in whatever capacity he can.
