ESPN - Sources: Ravens offer coaching job to Garrett - NFL

Wow, that'll be a kick in the teeth either way you look at it. To Jerry Jones if he takes it, or to Baltimore if he turns it down to stay in Dallas.

From one offensive "guru" to another. We'll have to see how well the Garrett offense translates from Romo, Jones/Barber, TO to Boller/McGahee/Mason.

Before Atlanta takes him. They want to bring him in for a second interview.

Schefter is reporting the same thing except he seems to be more confident that Garret will take it. If he does take it, he'll have to bring in a defensive cordinator to run that side (Mike Zimmer? Has run a 3-4 before). And no doubt a few other position coaches from Dallas will follow (John Garett and probably Ray Sherman or Wade Wilson as Offensive Coordinator). Then if Sparono (sp?) goes to Miami and takes a few position coaches (Todd Bowles as D cordinator) then we get to see how good Wade is.

I bet they would hire Cam Cameron to replace Garrett or Saunders if he's released by us.

We all know that Garrett is going to be a head coach somewhere...let's just hope it isn't in Dallas.

Sportstalk 980 is reporting that he already accepted the offer.

My buddy just shot me a text saying that there are reports of Jerry Jones offering the Dallas job to Garrett. Maybe he feels Garrett is more valuable than Wade. I wouldn't argue that...

Anyone else hear this?

That would be a bombshell.

From a Cowboys board.

According to ESPN's John Clayton, the plan Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has presented the Ravens has former Dolphins assistants Cam Cameron and Dom Capers going with him to Baltimore as offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively.

This is a mixed bag for Dallas. On one end, it means that a staff that figures to be tattered when the smoke clears will not be raided too extensively by the new Baltimore regime. But another side to it is that if Garrett does go to Baltimore, and Tony Sparano to Miami, Cameron likely would've been a prime candidate to become OC in Dallas.

Cameron was the Chargers offensive coordinator, while Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips served as DC in San Diego from 2004-06. Cameron's connection to Garrett is through Norv Turner. Cameron was the Redskins quarterbacks coach from 1994-96 under Turner and, as such, runs a similar offensive system to Garrett.

That would probably leave receivers coach Ray Sherman as the top candidate for the offensive coordinator position. Sherman was the Steelers offensive coordinator in 1998, taking over for Chan Gailey there, and the Vikings OC in 1999, where he took the reins from Brian Billick. Sherman resigned after being replaced by Sherman Lewis in Minnesota, and offered a position as receivers coach, after the '99 season.

Quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson could be another candidate. He brings eight years of experience as a position coach, four in Dallas (2000-02, 2007) and three in Chicago (2004-06.)

I'm also hearing that Sparano going to Miami is pretty much a done deal as well.

Why all the hype on Jason Garrett!!!!??????

He could be a good coach, but who knows? How long has he been coaching? I know he's only been an 0 coord for 1 year.

Come on though, he's done a great job, but he's also got major offensive talent in Dallas. He's got a great o line, Romo, Witten, Owens, Barber, and a good supporting cast. For as much as i HATE Romo he's a great talent. Let's see how Garrett does w/ Steve McNair/Troy Smith. I'm not sold yet.

I'm really starting to sense a Brian Billick Version 2.0 on the horizon, but who knows I could be wrong. Plus Brian Billick 2.0 wouldn't be so bad considering they won a Super Bowl under Brian Billick 1.0. However I'm disapointed because Marty was up for this job, and personally I felt like Marty would have been a perfect fit.

They also could have brought in Cam Cameron to be the O-Coordinator and kept Rex/Buddy/or whichever Ryan is on the Ravens as the Coordintor (which is probably going to happen anyway). However the Ravens have always seemed to be an organization that builds for the future and considering the fact that the offense is stagnant and Marty is 64 years old makes sense as far at the Ravens policy is concerned.

I really hope this happens. That offense was pretty damn good this year, so whatever weakens dallas, I'm all for. Now if Garrett turns out to be a bust for the Ravens, then EVERYBODY wins.
