Offering Rex Ryan a raise and promotion seems to have subdued his desires to be a head coach in the NFL for the time being. I will be the first to say that I thought Ryan should assume the role of head coach of the Ravens, but the powers that be didn't listen to my constant calling and begging. I'm sure it didn't help that I only spoke in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice.
Ryan will be sticking around under the new title of assistant head coach, and will be receiving a paycheck totaling $1.5 million. Not too shabby, not Jason Garrett numbers, but I'll take it.
This is a huge move for the Ravens. Keeping Ryan around should make the dynamic in the locker room full of lollipops and rainbows. With players coach John Harbaugh, players coach Rex Ryan, and enigma Cam Cameron the purple birds are looking ripe for a turnaround next season.
On a sadder note, I think all-universe Jonathan Ogden's career might come to an end. The St. Albans high school home town boy is currently leaning toward calling it quits and who can blame him. My brilliant idea is to make Kelly Gregg play superman style and clog the holes on both the offensive and defensive lines. Any takers??
