Harbaugh update, Part 2
Philadelphia Eagles secondary coach John Harbaugh is still interviewing, but owner Steve Bisciotti left the team's facility in Owings Mills at about 1:30 p.m. He's probably not getting lunch for the search committee, so it might not be a good sign for Harbaugh and his candidacy to become the team's third head coach in franchise history.
Comments
Why are we considering Harbaugh for the head coaching position? If he became the defensive coordinator for the Ravens, that would be a huge jump for the career of a coach whose main experience has been on special teams.
Not only would he be moving up, but he would be taking over a defense that doesn't need much coaching. They'll make him look like a genius.
*It's a shame Stoney Case couldn't do that for Billick!

I would rather have Marty Schottenheimer as Head Coach, but will support Harbaugh if he is selected. Anyone who wants to be here is a plus as far as I am concerned.

I can't wait until Banks writes about this circumstance on SI.com. I can see it now, "things have gotten so embarrasing that the owner has left the interview to drive around downtown Baltimore begging people to take the job.".
I just want everyone to relax and let the very capable front office make the decision on their own timetable.
As for my opinion, I would like to see someone take the job who gets up every morning excited as hell that they are the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. Right now I am leaning towards Harbaugh.

Why hasn't anyone thought of Russ Grimm?

Maybe he wanted to change, like if he's going to be on TV to announce a coach?

Biscuit leaving could also mean that the hire has been made but the boring details are not his concern.

Ravens should take a look at the young guy in New York. Think his name is Brian Fisher. That guy has been way under the radar but should get a look. Great x and os guy and motivator.

Why is Biscotti's leaving the facility at 1:30pm an indication that Harbaugh's not his guy?

Forget Harbaugh. Hire Jim Mora!

Maybe Mr. Bisciotti, like myself, enjoys answering nature's call on his home turf and went home to take care of business.

Brian Fisher does know football. The man has never suited up in his life.
Why no talk about Brennan Knight or Thomas Mark? If we are talking about the best candidates lets go for someone who has the calm attitude to keep things on an even keel. Brennan Knight isn't called "Mr. Easy" for nothing.
Thomas Mark is the man. He has endless energy and he brings alot of youthful enthusiasm to the game. He lives in Pennsylvania so he would not have to get used to the area. On a side note, he does have the smallest teeth I've ever seen.

Jim Mora? Could you come up with a worse idea? How about digging up Bum Phillips? Jim Mora? Lets have more football knowledge than that, Baltimore fans.
