I'm sure Ozzie would do very well in that role if he so chose, I'm just not sure if he'd want to work the business side of things more than the football side. And I can't really see him leaving for another GM job. If he didn't want to leave the GM role, I'm sure he'd just tell Steve that he wanted to stay on, and Decosta would have to make a career decision and decide if he wanted to throw his name in the hat for a GM job elsewhere.

I could see Ozzie leaving to be AD at 'bama if that job became available.

That’s the only thing I could see him leaving for

Thought question: do you think it's possible that for older professionals (like Oz) to have amazing wisdom, experience with a variety of situations and functional knowledge but with a lesser set of decision-making chops than they had in previous years?

I know some lawyers I consider to be world-wise and oracles at what they do. You still go to them for their wisdom and counsel but you really don't want them representing you anymore in go-to situations; at least not as your chief dog.

The position above any other that I see Ozzie moving into is Athletic Director at Alabama. Don't know the current contract situation with Greg Byrne.

I think the Ravens are Ozzie's baby. He has literally been with the organization its entire existence. I think teams will try but I don't think it will work. I think his connection to this team runs deeper than just about any other GM in the business. Bama? Is a different story though.
