I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand, I’m a little surprised that the Ravens are willing to turn over their Lamar Reclamation Project to a 29 yr old who is his same age. This is why they fired John Harbaugh? If Harbaugh didn’t have the cache to make Lamar a viable Playoff Winner, what are the chances some greenhorn with little experience and light resume will?
OTOH, the NFL is all about fads and trends, and smart OCs get snapped up relatively quickly. I mean, even rumors swirled about Nagy getting another crack at HC – that’s how desperate the NFL is to find the next Shanny, McVay, Ben Johnson…
At first when the Fins fired McDaniels, I was wondering if BJ would reach out to him through the backchannels. Two great offensive minds are better than one.
However, too many cooks in the kitchen comes to mind, and BJ will likely opt for an up-n-comer not a made name. Preferably one who has a TE background as that seems to bode well for OCs.
Technically, this seems like a lateral move, but let’s be honest. Doyle was “OC” only in title while on the Ravens he’ll run the show. I’m more pissed off about the end-a-round ATL/NFL did on Bears in the Ian Cunningham transaction.
Anywho, via con dios, Doyle. We hardly knew you. And to quote the Godfather, ‘It’s best if your interests don’t conflict with ours.’
Ravens Hire Declan Doyle for OC
