ESPN is reporting that the Ravens are offering Jason Garrett the head coaching position in Baltimore. I'm shocked.
Jason Garrett only has 3 years of coaching experience, two on the Dolphins staff under Nick Saban and this year as OC for the Cowboys. Granted, Garrett's years as a backup QB and Princeton education are worth something, but he's a very young guy to come in and take over an experienced, veteran team. How will he earn the respect of guys like Ray Lewis? The Cowboys' offensive performance wasn't spectacular at the end of the year or in the playoffs, and the Ravens are bringing in a coach who they expect to win soon. Otherwise, it will be a long rebuilding process.
In addition, Jerry Jones almost hired Garrett as head coach of the 'Boys last off-season, and semi-promised the head coaching job to him in the future. If the Dallas job opens, do the Ravens really think Garrett will stick with them? I don't.
Hey Ozzie, go talk to Rex!

He's young and smart, and we're hiring a coach for more than 2 years you filthy Redskins fan.
Garrett's appeal is that players THINK he's the real deal. Plus, reports are that we'll bring in Cam Cameron to be OC and Dom Capers as DC. That's a lot of head coach experience for Garrett to rely on.
Don't forget also that this is the best year to be hiring a coach. If the Ravens screw it up, we can always fall back on Cowher.
Just wait til Jerry gets tired of Wade's losing ways and picks up the phone. After all those years backing up Troy, he's going back to the big D. Jerry even was the one to give him his big break and make him the OC.
Clarification: Wade's losing ways in the playoffs (0-4)
AHHHHHHHH!!!
WHY ARE YOU GOING WITH THE TRENDY PICK, STEVE?!?!? I TRUSTED YOU!!!
Hey kgoon, at least Bisciotti had the balls to can Billick after giving him an ill-advised "vote of confidence".
Garrett might be trendy, but sometimes things are trendy for a reason. It's sad to say -- but I'll say it anyway because it pisses off Redskins fans -- but Jerry Jones has displayed some genius over the years. (Assuming we're forgetting about Campo, Switzer, Gailey and Wade).
