Coaches That Should Be On The Ravens Radar

by jazz20 on Jan 29, 2012 5:49 PM EST

The Ravens will be in the hunt for a new linebacker coach, wide receiver coach( if Jim Hostler leaves), and quarterback coach. I wanted to list some possible candidates that could possibly not only fill a need but be able to help The Ravens become better than last year in some areas.

Hue Jackson:

Jackson has been with the ravens before as the quarterback coach (2008-2009)and he definitely will be some one Joe Flacco will be familiar with but it may be best if The Ravens can get Jackson to be the wideceiver coach. Under Jackson’s tutelage in Cincinnati, Chad Ochocinco and T.J Housmanzadeh became one of the most polific wide-receiving tandems in the nfl. In 2005, the Ochocinco-Houshmandzadeh tandem combined to total 175 receptions for 2,388 yards.

Jim Caldwell:

Caldwell spent most of his time in the nfl as a quarterback coach before he became the head coach of colts in 2009. During his time as the quarterback coach it was said Peyton Manning credited Caldwell for his success where Manning became the first QB since Steve Young with three consecutive 100+ rating seasons Caldwell may be able to help Joe Flacco in a big way and since he has worked with/ watched a elite/future hall famer quarterback, it could be even more helpful for Joe Flacco/

Greg Manusky:

Manusky is a former nfl player( he was a linebacker) who started his career in coaching as a linebacker coach. During his time as linebacker coach of the chargers ( 2002-2006) it was said he help molded one of the best linebacker units in the nfl. Under his guidance Donnie Edwards led the team in tackles, Randall Godfrey finished second and Shawne Merriman was named nfl defensive rookie of the year. Five different linebackers have made the pro bowl while being coached by Manusky.

I am all for Caldwell coming here.

Would also like to see us bring back Jack Del Rio as the LB coach if we decide not to promote from within.

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

I’d like to see him back too. Flacco had his best year mechanics wise under Zorn.

Let’s hope you’re right. It looks like we’re getting Caldwell.

To fill what positions?

by Mr MaLoR on Jan 30, 2012 9:36 AM EST up reply actions

Greg Manusky could be the ravens linebacker coach and Hue Jackson could be the wide receiver coach/offense consultant

Great hire. I think Joe will benefit from just having a QB coach period.

I too am happy about Caldwell coming here....

but lets hope we continue to develop the balanced attack on offense. We seem to operate better with a good amount of a run game along with a passing game. Lets not think we have a passing QB like Peyton Manning. That’s not putting Joe down, as I believe he will be among the “elite” one day. I’m just pointing out that he should be a versitile QB and I think he’s on the right track so far.

What respectable man wants to come to that baby rapeing town? Any one with self respect would coach in Canada before B more

Flagged.

Caldwell and Flacco would converse less than a silent film. Pass.

Hue Jackson appears to have a huge ego now. I’d sign him back up just because we’d have a coach that has the balls to question Cam and his predict-abilities.
