Baltimore Ravens hire Michigan's Mike Macdonald as defensive coordinator

https://sports.yahoo.com/baltimore-ravens-expected-hire-michigans-193924220.html

That's weird......didn't Michigan last year hire a coach from the ravens?

I don't know. After looking yes, they hired the Ravens RB coach last season and made him their QB coach.

Michigan dips into Ravens well again, hires a new QB coach

The Harbaughs have been stealing coaches from each other for years.

Ah, just over a year ago Michigan hired Macdonald from the ravens. He was a linebacker coach for the ravens.

So, now the ravens hired him back.

They hired Matt Weiss away from Michigan this year. It was in the article. Two different coaches.

YOUR link, here: https://sports.yahoo.com/baltimore-ravens-expected-hire-michigans-193924220.html says Baltimore hired Michigans def. coordinator to be their d.c. Mike Macdonald.

My link, here:https://mgoblue.com/news/2021/1/17/football-mike-macdonald-named-michigans-defensive-coordinator.aspx says the Ravens hired him back - Mike Macdonald.

What am I missing?


For him to go back to the ravens though, makes me question Jim's being back at Michigan next year.

Michigan hiring Ravens RB coach Matt Weiss as new QB coach February 21, 2021 9:25 am ET

You are right in the fact that McDonald had been with the Ravens for seven years before being hired as Michigan's DC and then returning to the Ravens for that same position in the NFL. My bad.

That's feb. 21, of 2021.

What I was talking about was Mike Macdonald. Hired by Michigan from the ravens just a tad over a year ago, and being rehired by the ravens just now.

Are we sure he was rehired?

Crazy that Daboll went from our crappy offensive coordinator to a head coach.

He'll maybe last about three years because he doesn't have QB.

Funny how the best coaches also have the best QBs.

I don't know. I'm just going by the news. https://sports.yahoo.com/baltimore-ravens-expected-hire-michigans-193924220.html

"The Baltimore Ravens hired Michigan defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald for their vacant defensive coordinator position, the team announced Thursday night."

If that's been changed, redacted, whatever, sue me. I'm posting what the media says. Period.

No kidding... Josh Allen to Daniel Jones... yuck

Can we really trust the media at this point?

Hell if I know. I posted an article. A damn article, okay pit/verse whoever else? I didn't write the damn thing.

1. The source Grossi is reposting is not legit at all.
2. We would have to let Callahan out of his contract for him to leave.

For sure. No wonder Stefanski won Coach of the year last season.

Stefanski may be gone in three years as well because well...he doesn't have a QB.

Wow man, really? I said you were right and I'm not quite sure how much more obvious I could have made it than by posting this in response to you......

LOL Grossi blocked me because I said MKC hit rock bottom... below Grossi's feet when she started getting quotes from her son.

Grossi has paper-thin skin.

That about sums it up.
The only way around it would be if they threw the Assistant Head Coach title at him. I *think* that counts as a promotion and would circumvent the normal protections.
Still, they'd have to pay him plenty to make him choose to leave, I think, and he'd be burning a bridge.

They only promotion is to head coach. Everything else is a lateral move. He can’t leave unless we let him leave.

And what I didn't say last night/yesterday.........was with MacDonald leaving Michigan for baltimore, I wonder what the vibes are for Harbaugh in Michigan. I guess this answers it? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...gh-for-head-coaching-vacancy-per-report/

This surprises me. I guess I thought McDaniels would be the heir apparent in NE. I suppose LV giving him full reign to do whatever he wants (like in Denver) was a factor. The first go-around at this didn't go so well. But he's older and wiser (hopefully for his sake).

When full details come out, I'd be interested to see what McDaniels' role will be regarding personnel.

I just saw this. This should be interesting to watch unfold. It does make sense though since the Raiders hired Dave Ziegler as their new GM. These two both came from the Patriots and have a history.

Much like yourself I was surprised to hear it at first until I considered the Dave Ziegler connection.

Most likely means Derek Carr won't be available since both McDaniel and Ziegler reportedly have a high opinion of him.

https://fansided.com/2022/01/29/raiders-josh-mcdaniels-rumors-derek-carr-impact/

And I think for good reason, honestly. I don't think he is the a top 5 QB or anything but I think he is undervalued. And if a guy like McDaniels claims to be able to use him and elevate his performance....that means something. Again, this whole thing is interesting...

Who will be the OC now?
Will McDaniels poach from the NE offensive staff?
Carr's contract is up at the end of this season. What if he does deliver?
What is McDaniels role outside of coaching?
Did Davis give him a 10-year contract?

If Rex said it, then I know this will end badly.

I feel like Ohio duos happen often. Could be wrong.

Even though the Colts incident was a fiasco, McDanials did a tremendous job assembling that staff. Both coordinators, Nick Sirianni Philadelphia Eagles and Matt Eberflus Chicago Bears, are now head coaches in the NFL.

If I made a list of coaches I was worried about losing (both in terms of demand as well as needing their performance back next season), the passing game coordinator probably would be near (if not at) the bottom.

I see Ken Dorsey will be the Bills new OC.

I was kind of hoping we would hire him to a role on our coaching staff even though I knew it was unrealistic.

Joe Brady got interviews last year to be a head coach and was the next genius. This seems like a pretty big step down. It’s great for the Bills though.

"One source"= Harbaugh, himself.....or maybe Michigan alum, Adam Schefter.

More slumber parties w/ recruits!
