Still no word on Ravens Coach

With the word on the home front quiet now that the second round of the playoffs are about to begin, I'll turn my attention to picking the four games this weekend in tomorrow's posting. For all we know, the Ravens have made their choice and if it is one of the playoff teams' coaches, then the Ravens can't finalize anything until they lose or the Super Bowl ends, whichever comes first. Personally, I don't see the need for any additional interviews, as the Ravens have interviewed a lot of coaches, from diverse football backgrounds. My belief is that if the Ravens wanted Rex Ryan to be their next coach, they would have made that announcement by now. With that in mind, my choices, in order, to be the next head coach of the Baltimore Ravens would be:

Jason Garrett (Cowboys):
He would rebuild the offense and have a great influence on whomever ends up being the next QB.

Jim Caldwell (Indy):
Coming from Tony Dungy's staff and working alongside Peyton Manning make a great resume. You'd have to think a lot would rub off on him that he could bring to the Ravens.

Jim Schwartz (Tennessee):
A local guy who went to high school here and an excellent defensive coordinator who would probably leave the defense alone and hire a strong offensive coordinator.

Note:
I didn't mention Dallas' Tony Sparano, as I see him as the next Dolphins coach.

As far as the others:
Cowher: NO! NO! NO!
Either Schottenheimer: No retreads, or their worthless kids!
John Harbaugh: Not as head coach, but he could come on as d-coordinator.

Hmmm....

I think Jim Caldwell will stay in Indy with rumors of Tony Dungy retiring. Those aren't confirmed, but I think it's possible he'll be leaving.

I think it comes down to Marty Ball, Jason Garrett, Jim Schwartz and the darkhorse of John Harbaugh. I like Marty Ball or Jim Schwartz. Marty will already have Cam Cameron and Mike(not sure of his first name?) Solari as a part of his coaching staff. Solari would serve as the offensive line coach. Lord knows the Ravens could use some help in that area. I know that Marty would probably keep JO retired and Ray Lewis and others on the fences, but we need an a-hole. Marty provides that. The Ravens lacked discipline. I like Jim Schwartz for one reason and one reason only: He applies sabermetrics to football.
