Fair.
Harbs can ask and Wink can decide if he wants to change or not. It's a mutual thing. If that's what happened. I also figure that during the season as it went along, there were likely plenty of film review sessions and meeting to discuss things like that and the two of them just didn't see eye to eye on it.

Zrebiec referenced general tension/disagreements between the two, saying the relationship had run its course. Not personal, but professional disagreements.
It's a good guess that Harbs was bothered by that. Seems like Wink's scheme, which puts so much on CBs in particular, never adjusted when they were down to 4th string CBs. Leaving Westry on an island to give up a game losing play is an obvious example. But there were probably a lot of things. Zrebiec also gave the impression that Bisciotti wasn't happy with the image Wink presented/some of the things he's say in front of the camera."That's what."

Re: Mike MacDonald - New DC
The Ravens improved their defense significantly by letting WINK walk. When you see the achievements that guys like Zadarius Smith, Judon and Nagukue put up you have to ask yourself what was WINK doing all that time. How could you misuse the talent that these guys brought to the table. How many more careers have you inhibited.
Good riddance

Re: Mike MacDonald - New DC
I think that the treatment that Wink received was Marty-style, we want you to continue but in another position, and there Wink (as Marty) said, fuck off and the matter is over.
wink's die was cast since John never relied on defense for games in overtime

Yeah, Harbaugh kind of said that part out loud:
"Asked why he went for two instead of the PAT to force overtime, Harbaugh said: "[We're] trying to win the game right there. We were pretty much out of corners at that point in time. It was an opportunity to try to win the game right there."
Ravens Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey appeared to grab his right shoulder when trying to tackle Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson on Pittsburgh's go-ahead 5-yard TD with 1:48 to play. The Ravens fear Humphrey suffered a season-ending pectoral injury on the play, a source told ESPN, confirming a report by NFL Network."
My translation of that was he had zero confidence in Wink's defense being able to hold up in OT, especially with Marlon out. He had learned by then that Wink wasn't going to be able to adjust the defense or his playcalling enough to stop Pitt.

Re: Mike MacDonald - New DC
I don’t think Wink was to blame when injuries took their toll so much. After listening to the Filmstudy podcast on Wink I’m leaning not at scheme, where Wink is brilliant, but coaching and developing players- The tackling, persistent communication issues, the slow developmental speed of queen and Harrison who seem to have the talent but were not meeting expectations.
