"The one thing that I know that I will probably take it on the chin is if our final candidate is an ex-[head] coach who has a losing record," Bisciotti said, "and you all are going to have to understand that we are going to be able to judge that failure with his circumstances and marry that up and not disqualify them."
"OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens' successor to John Harbaugh may not be the next fast-rising offensive or defensive coordinator. It could be a coach seeking a redemptive second chapter to his career. In Tuesday's news conference, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti indicated that he would not rule out a candidate because he struggled in his first stint as a head coach."
"The Ravens are in the middle of their first round of interviews, which are expected to conclude by the start of next week. Baltimore will whittle that list to five finalists, who will have face-to-face interviews next week at the team facility. Of the nine coaches who've been interviewed by Baltimore, five have losing records as head coaches: Vance Joseph (11-21), Kevin Stefanski (45-56), Kliff Kingsbury (28-37-1), Brian Flores (24-25) and Jim Schwartz (29-51). The other Ravens candidate who has a losing mark as a head coach is Robert Saleh (20-36)."
The Baltimore Ravens are conducting a first round of interviews for their next head coach and expect to finish them by early next week. The team will narrow the pool to five finalists who will be interviewed face-to-face at the team facility. Several interviewed candidates previously held head-coaching jobs and carry losing records. The owner signaled openness to hiring former head coaches with losing records, emphasizing evaluation of failures in context rather than automatic disqualification. Candidates interviewed include Vance Joseph, Kevin Stefanski, Kliff Kingsbury, Brian Flores, Jim Schwartz and Robert Saleh, each with their respective head-coaching records.
