Ravens Interested in Speaking to Garrett

Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said Thursday the Baltimore Ravens have requested permission from the Cowboys to speak with him regarding their head coaching vacancy, though no interview has been scheduled at this time.


Garrett and Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano are scheduled to interview with the Falcons on Friday. Per NFL rules, all interviews during the bye week must take place by Sunday.

Schefter was reporting this on Tuesday. The DC.com blog is slow on the news.

It's interesting that the request was made Tuesday and now it's Thursday and no interview has been scheduled.

McDaniels turns down Ravens, Falcons

The Patriots' 31-year-old offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, has declined chances to interview with the Falcons and Ravens, ESPN's Len Pasquarelli reports.

Cowboys assistant head coach/offensive line coach Tony Sparano and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett will interview with Falcons officials tomorrow, and the Ravens have asked for permission to speak with Garrett, though Garrett had not heard from Baltimore as of midday.

But the fact that McDaniels will stay in New England takes one name out of the coaching search mix, meaning Sparano and Garrett will have one less competitor for these jobs.

McDaniels turns down Ravens, Falcons

Belichick probably held a knife to McDaniels' throat and told him, "Tell them you're not interested."

Yep - read this this morning. Here is another nuggett regarding this thread.

The Ravens plan to interview Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and Cowboys assistant head coach and offensive line coach Tony Sparano, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and Indianapolis Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell this week.

The Ravens fired coach Brian Billick and his entire staff Monday.

The Cowboys, Patriots and Colts all declined to confirm or deny receiving requests to interview the assistants.

Coaches on playoff teams can only be interviewed during this bye week that ends Saturday, according to league rules. Because of the limited time period, the Ravens are expected to conduct their interviews on the road away from the team’s training complex.

It’s undetermined who would represent the Ravens in those meetings, but it’s likely to include general manager Ozzie Newsome, who’s heading the search for team owner Steve Bisciotti.

Baltimore is still expected to pursue former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher, but no meeting has been set up. Cowher’s McLean, Va.-based agent, Phil de Picciotto, didn’t return telephone calls seeking comment.

Garrett has been dubbed the frontrunner by some outlets, but this is expected to be an open, exhaustive search. Lauded for the development of quarterback Tony Romo and leading a productive offense headlined by wide receiver Terrell Owens and running back Marion Barber, Garrett’s star is rising fast in coaching circles.

Garrett and Sparano are scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Falcons about their opening Friday in the wake of Bobby Petrino abruptly quitting during the season.

You guys don't need him. You have a coach that went 13-3 this year. Nothing to worry about. :laugh2:
