These types of rumblings usually mean he is about to be canned.

I think if Childress is willing to come here, that he'll get the gig.

I was really hoping for Hue Jackson or Gary Kubiak, but that wasn't meant to be.

Childress really does nothing for me, but a change is needed, so hopefully a different voice makes a difference.

Me too.

Either a new OC or HUGE upgrades to the O-line. Both would be awesome!

One way or another, I think Bisciotti wants change. Maybe Cam stays, but I think he's only allowed to stay if he adjusts the way he approaches his work and changes his "work alone" attitude.

I have 2 questions, if someone could answer please...

first, what exactly did the "famous" Al Saunders do for the Ravens this year?

second, if Cam is coming back, could that indicate that all season Cam was actually following direction (strategic and philopshy) he received from Harbs?

I hope this is true...what sources HR?

The only way Cam is going is if there is a better option out there. They aren't going to fire him for the sake of it.

One is a friend who works for the Ravens, the other I cannot say.

All comes down to who they can get and Harbs is not a happy camper right now.

I think our OL was close to a disaster. Guys playing out of position, one guy who should not even have been starting. 3.8 yards/att, 25th in the NFL. Compare to 4.7 yards/att. - 5th in the NFL last year. Passing offense was WORSE, with more sacks. And think about it - we really had no injuries on that line. Imagine if we had...because our depth was shit.

Joe was sacked 5 times in Pissburgh. Harrison had 3 sacks over you know
who plus 7 tackles.

LOL - No wonder Matt got the hell out of Dodge.

No word on CAM at all on Ravens official site.

Your creepy obsession with me extends here too, huh Trap?

I know reading comprehension isn't your strong suit so allow me to clarify.

I never said Cam was gone for sure. The team's looking for an upgrade so they will not fire him for firing sake.

If they get someone who they feel fits that upgrade, they will pull the trigger. In the mean time, the is hope he moves on to a college job so they won't have to make it ugly.

Got it, Hemingway?

I think if we're getting rid of Cameron, it'll happen in the next week, likely today or tomorrow.

As far as I know, none of the 4 OCs from the current playoff teams are in jeopardy of losing their jobs, and none of their current assistants really inspire salivation. I would love to have Brian Schottenheimer as OC, but Jets aren't firing him if they lose this weekend, even though they were letting OL coach Bill Callahan have more of the playcalling duties. And I'm not sure Bill Callahan is an upgrade over Cam either.

So if there's an upgrade out there, they are already in play. The longer we wait, the less likely they come. McDaniels is with the Rams now. Childress is the only name we're hearing as a big splash potentially. I don't think we promote Saunders to OC ahead of Oakland hiring him. Same with Zorn.
