Still nothing on Baltimore Sun about it...so if the ESPN report is right, sounds like he wants to "mull it over", which I think is a bad sign. If he doesn't like the job now, he's either playing out for more money or trying to use the offer as leverage.

Or ESPN just jumped the gun. WNST is reporting it's a done deal, but they also jump the gun more often, IMO

WTOP is also reporting the same! Where the hell is the Sun?!

Hmmmm . . . . maybe he heard about our locker room situation

**camdenyard** · 01-15-2008, 02:10 PM

If Bisciotti wants the guy, he won't let him leave without a contract.

Besides....Baltimore, Atlanta...Baltimore, Atlanta...

Hmm....

The X factor is Jerry Jones. The ESPN article mentions how Jones indicated to Garrett he would match whatever offer the Ravens gave him to remain in Dallas as OC.

**TBOERaven16** · 01-15-2008, 02:13 PM

I dont think the choice is between Baltimore and Atlanta. I think its more like Baltimore Vs. Dallas.

Jerry Jones will do whatever he can to keep him.

.....NM Losac beat me to it....

Baltimore, Atlanta...Baltimore, Atlanta...

One of the few teams with bigger holes at QB than we have.

Jones and Bisciotti are apparently friendly, I don't know if that would help or not.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the sounds of this.

60-40 chance he accepts??

How about somebody that has 110% desire to be a head coach, be in Baltimore and has 150% confidence he can get the job done?

That's the type of guy I want!!:hammer:

From the infamous "league source". Most likely someone speculating from the outside with no knowledge of what's in Garrett's head.

I just don't think that SB offers the job if there's a chance he would go elsewhere. I think there would be a gentleman's agreement that if offered the job it would be accepted. I also think SB would offer whatever it would take. Money seems to be no object as he paid Billick to leave.

I could be wrong but that's my gut feeling.

**Greg** · 01-15-2008, 02:19 PM

I don't like the wishy-washy indication of a 60-40 chance, but that might be the writer's spin.

Billick came here for his interview to take the job, not mull things over. He told Policy to "shove it" and got on the plane.
