Today should be the day – the day that the Baltimore Ravens announce their new Offensive Coordinator. Adam Schefter of ESPN tweeted at 9 AM ET that former Houston Texas head coach Gary Kubiak and former Texans OC Rick Dennison met with the Ravens over the weekend. He also said that Kubiak is now the favorite to be the Ravens OC.
A few minutes later, Schefter tweeted his thought that the Ravens are looking at a star-studded coaching staff that would include former Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan.

Ravens trying to assemble star-studded offensive coaching staff with Gary Kubiak, Rick Dennison, Kyle Shanahan. Will not please Cleveland.

Could we see Kubiak as OC, and Dennison as RB coach and Shanahan as QB Coach?
That would be an excellent ending to a OC search that has – so far – left a lot of Ravens fans frustrated. Not only do you get proven and successful offensive minds, but you also get a quality staff that has great potential for the future. If Kubiak gets a Head Coaching position next off-season, then you have Dennison and Shanahan on staff to be the “Next Man Up”.
Let’s hope Schefter is right. If so, I am feeling great about the Ravens offense next season.
