Who Will the Ravens Hire to be OC?

Things dont change with the offense he wont have to be worried about who he hires, theyll all be fired.

Again, the question is if he believes the problems were solely with execution, or did he see some issues with playcalling and scheme.

Everyone is quick to assume he thinks it was all execution, but I like to believe he knows our scheme wasn't perfect either.

Maybe... but remember.. Caldwell now needs his own staff in Detroit. (Assuming Detroit gives him the reigns on hiring/firing his own staff). So expect some position coaches to go with him. That's the way this usually works.

I think we'd let him have someone as coordinator, but would likely block lateral moves unless we had no interest in retaining the guy.

Teryl Austin is likely going to be DC in Detroit. OC seems to be Clyde Christensen from the Colts.

So, I know I'm late to the Hostler information train...I just read his wiki page...holy crap.

As offensive coordinator for the 49ers, he was subject to much scrutiny and criticism regarding his playcalling. Among his most common criticisms was his inability to effectively use star running back Frank Gore, who led the National Football Conference (NFC) in rushing in 2006, but under Hostlers' play calling, was largely ineffective.[1][2] Gore publicly criticized Hostler, saying the team did not trust his play calling.[3] Midway into the 2007 season, the 49ers' offense was ranked last in the NFL, and the 49ers' rushing offense, ranked sixth the previous year, was ranked near the bottom of the league after eight games under Hostler's direction. Under Hostlers' direction, the 49ers fell behind every team in the league in the categories of total offense, yards passing, and yards per play.

I don't follow college sports a lot, but whoever we gets would NEED to bring a pro style offense with him. The whole plus of bringing in a new guy is a fresh, complete system. I don't want a guy coming in here and trying to turn us into a read option team or something like that.

The read-option is part of Baylor's offense, but Montgomery also turned Kevin Kolb into an all-american at Houston. They also averaged 360 passing yards per game and 52 points per game. Granted, it is college AND it is the Big12, which is not known for stout collegiate defenses...but Montgomery could be interesting if he were to ever get a shot in the NFL.


How many saw a QB like Nick Foles effectively running Chip Kelly's offense?

True.

He may take Hostler with him as his OC.

On the one hand, I'm sure there have been coaches who failed in their first gig, went back down a peg and improved to succeed in 2nd shot.

But that certainly doesn't look good to a team who just posted the lowest rushing performance in franchise history....

I was just referring to the part about being scared to hire anyone that could replace him. He should be scared hes going to get replaced if we dont turn things around. Bisciotti basically said if it doesnt this year, hes going to step in. thats a warm seat for Harbaugh.

As far as your point, I dont see how he looks at it and says that its not scheme related but weve had it for so long Im not sure that is what he sees.

Yea...his resume doesn't exactly speak to his ability as an offensive coach...

I'd be lying if I said I never wondered before how he lasted so long as the WRs coach here...

[helloharv]

How about Big Ralph former UM coach?

Someone needs to run these stats by the Ravens FO. Harbs should be aware he can't have this type of season again, so I'm seeing a more surething hire than a failed OC getting another chance. I wonder if Flacco gets any input at all (probably not) on how he feels about have Hostler at OC.

[TTRaven]

True.

He may take Hostler with him as his OC.

I read an article yesterday that said Jim Tressel would be a strong candidate as Caldwell's OC.
