| 17th January, 2008 - 6:16 pm |  ESPN - The Baltimore Ravens have been forced to call an audible in their search for a new head coach.
Baltimore's top choice Jason Garrett has spurned the Ravens in favor of keeping his job as offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys.
"We did negotiate with Jason Garrett to become our head coach. In the end, he decided to stay in Dallas," the Ravens said in a statement Thursday. "We're continuing our second round of interviews. We're excited with the candidates, and we're confident we will select the best head coach for the Ravens."
After being rejected by Garrett, owner Steve Bisciotti called for a huddle at the team's training complex to discuss Baltimore's next move. Philadelphia Eagles' Defensive Backs Coach John Harbaugh could be invited back as soon as Friday, and the Ravens have not publicly dismissed the possibility of interviewing former NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer.
Now that Garrett is no longer an option, there is no rush to fill the void created by the dismissal of Brian Billick on Dec. 31. [READ] |
