Considerably misplaced within the shuffle has been the truth that the Ravens want a brand new head coach for the primary time since Harbaugh accepted the job in 2008. On Wednesday, Ravens reporter Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic advised that North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Invoice Belichick could possibly be thought-about a candidate to interchange Harbaugh in Baltimore.
Invoice Belichick has connections to Ravens
“It’s most likely a protracted shot, however given his friendships with [Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti] and Ravens govt vice chairman Ozzie Newsome and his Annapolis roots, it’s not arduous to make the connection,” Zrebiec wrote a few potential Belichick-Ravens marriage. “Belichick has all the time professed his respect for the way the Ravens do enterprise, and it’s arduous to think about a greater state of affairs for him if he’s decided to return to the NFL and make a run at his seventh Tremendous Bowl ring as a head coach.”
As famous by the New England Patriots’ web site, Belichick was raised in Annapolis lengthy earlier than he accomplished his first NFL head-coaching stint with the Cleveland Browns within the Nineties.

One wonders how Jackson and Co. would really feel about working for a six-time Tremendous Bowl champion head coach who’s regarded by many as the best of all time in his occupation.
“Belichick, who began his teaching profession as a Baltimore Colts assistant in 1975, turns 74 in April — and he’d be a lot for the Ravens to tackle,” Zrebiec continued. “Nonetheless, if they’re searching for a transitional coach to maintain the Tremendous Bowl window open for just a few extra years, they gained’t discover a extra achieved possibility.”
