He’s being paid head coach money by the Colts for the next two seasons and with having had cancer and having stated in 2015 that the Colts job would be his last, I think he’s going to be done for at least a few years. You have to think he must have made some promises of committing more time to his family after all that’s happened. If anything I could see Fangio brought in as our defensive coordinator and Pagano brought on as some sort of senior defensive advisor, where he can still “stay active in the game” without the same time commitment of a true coach. And for Harbaugh that would really win a lot of morale over with fans. As opposed to getting one of their two fan favorites... they would get both. I like the sound of this. I had forgot that Pagano made that comment in 2015. I'm still holding out hope we get some defensive mind equivalent to Sean McVay, but probably not going to happen.

dcfields Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Pagano will be 58 in October. Fangio will be 60 in August. At their respective ages, I don’t think anyone will be looking to hire either as a NFL head coach. That’s a big reason I would love to see one of them as the Ravens defensive coordinator. They would likely be the DC until they retire from the game. And as stated earlier in the thread, Martindale sucked in Denver in 2010. 32nd in yards and points against. Enough said. With 7 teams now making coaching changes, the Ravens could possibly lose some assistants again. The flip side to that coin is that the Ravens could bring in some new assistants as well. I’d like to see them stock the defensive coaching staff as they did last year by bringing in Roman and D’Alessandris to help the offense. My gut tells me Greg Roman will be some other team’s OC next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvadorsDeli Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Sounds like Pagano is the top choice. Given that it's not even a guarantee that he's coaching next year anywhere, I hope we have other external targets we're looking at before settling for Martindale. But good to hear that the outreach is happening - I think Pagano is a little overrated based on the easy schedule we played in 2011 but I would definitely take him over Martindale.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Cautiously optimistic. Optimistic that we're trying to lure him back. Cautious that the team will use "well we tried" before ultimately settling back into the familiarity of Martindale and the continuation of under achieving.

Yeah, Pagano's one year really burns bright in our minds and it probably is overstated.... but the scheme and play-calling was on-point for the most part. For some reason I specifically remember that season as the only one where Terrence Cody was used effectively and he played like it. Odd given that he was a nose tackle, but Mattison's and Pees' schemes kind of relied on a nose that can make something happen on his own given how vanilla the rest of the scheme up front is (was!). If we see a defensive coordinator brought in from outside the staff I have high, high hopes for the defensive line. That's still the most talented group on the team. Having somebody in to actually utilize different talents or build a scheme around them (not force them into a specific role/scheme) would do wonders. Then with the edge guys freed up.... wow. Still expecting Martindale though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensfanRD Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Give me Fangio! I'll take Chuckie as a consolation, however. I just don't think anyone is more excited than myself that the Dean Pees nightmare is finally over! FINALLY OVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine if Harbaugh with his comments about bringing in someone that knows this system, he was talking about bringing back Mattison?????
