John Harbaugh isn't good at anything in particular.

He saved the Ravens' season....if he was white, that would be the narrative.

2125476, thats a terrible point to make Posted by cgonz00cc, Mon Feb-04-13 01:43 PM
because from 2004-2007 the core was younger and healthier
so why did they lose 31 games in 4 years?
and id love for you to say you've watched the majority of the 144 ravens games over the last 9 years lol
fact is, John is a winner. arguing that makes you look foolish.
you're approaching Basa/Trevor Ariza territory by digging your heels in on it.

2125480, This is easy: Name the schemes. Name the approach. Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Feb-04-13 01:51 PM
>because from 2004-2007 the core was younger and healthier
Actually, Ray Lewis played 6 games in 2005 and missed games in 2006 and 2007.
See what happens when you watch the games?
Also -- you're an idiot because Ed Reed, Suggs, and Ray Lewis are more experienced now than they were in 2004, which is why experience and leadership matter.
Haloti Ngata is fat and out of the league if he doesn't play with Ray Lewis. Almost nobody denies it -- he was fat and worthless at Oregon.
>so why did they lose 31 games in 4 years? > >and id love for you to say you've watched the majority of the >144 ravens games over the last 9 years lol
No, but I've watched games.

So was Barry Switzer with the Dallas Cowboys.
Reason nobody gives him credit is that no one can name the schemes, the signature, the imprint.
Even the attitude. Nobody can name anything.
I don't have a problem with John Harbaugh.
I do know this -- his team was headed for an early round exit before Caldwell started calling plays.

2125333, underselling John Harbaugh adds to your Caldwell agenda none Posted by Tiger Woods, Mon Feb-04-13 09:16 AM
John Harbaugh is a great coach, and sometimes being a leader of men is the most important asset you can have. He's clearly that.
That being said, credit to Jim Caldwell for what he was able to accomplish the 2nd half of the season. They just seemed to be more fluid in the later weeks of the season and especially in the playoffs. Masterfully prepared and executed postseason gameplans and Caldwell deserves as much of a nod as anyone.
|
2125508, I have NO problem with John. Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Feb-04-13 02:32 PM
I simply have more evidence that Jim is good.
I'm probably in-line with at least 3/4 of normal people who say that Jim earned his status more than John did. That's not much of a debate.
But that's not why you guys keep focusing on John Harbaugh:
You guys are focusing on the John critique because you're white and uncomfortable engaging the Jim Caldwell point.
I understand that, but it needs to be called out.

foh
you're crediting the Head Coach for Indy 2010 and the OC for Baltimore 2013
can't get mad if somebody else is crediting the OC for Indy 2010 and the Head Coach for Baltimore 2013. Especially since that Indy OC won a ring without Caldwell, and that Baltimore HC went to 2 AFC title games without Caldwell.
you can't be selective with credit and get mad when somebody else does it the other way

2125441, You done barked up the wrong tree, dunny Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Feb-04-13 12:35 PM
>John Harbaugh just WON a ring, and you're giving him 0 credit
Oh, sure he might deserve credit. He did fire Cam Cameron, after all.
But here's the facts:
John Harbaugh's team was limping into the playoffs, basically relying on the fact that Steelers whole team was in the hospital. They weren't intimidating anyone, were a guaranteed early exit.
Caldwell comes in, and Flacco instantly becomes Joe Montana and the OFFENSE starts winning some games, due to better scheme, better communication between coordinator and QB, better actual playcalling, more balance.
Those are FACTS. That is not DEBATABLE.
The Ravens got better the *instant* Caldwell arrived
I'm not simply associating Caldwell with the victory because he's black and I need black people to be responsible for the sake of my self esteem. I'm kinda high on self-esteem, sparky.
I'm talking football here, more than I am race.
And I already contrasted John Harbaugh to Jim Harbaugh: I have actual evidence that Jim is good. I do not have evidence that John is good. He barely deserved that job to begin with, and few can deny that the Ravens have been good largely because the core from the last decade (3 DPOYS on the same unit; 2 guys who are among the 3 best to ever play their position; ) is intact. People whiter than you have admitted as much about John Harbaugh and the Ravens.
>you're crediting the Head Coach for Indy 2010 and the OC for >Baltimore 2013
Actually, you're lying-
Peyton Manning deserves tons of credit for Indy 2010. I know that he called the plays. In hindsight, he probably should have let Caldwell call the plays, because Caldwell obviously knows that the fuck he's doing.
>you can't be selective with credit and get mad when somebody >else does it the other way
No, you're an idiot, because you're treating this as a simple race-baiting case, when I'm actually trying to have a football discussion-
Caldwell's influence on the Ravens is undeniable.
JIM Harbaugh's influence on the Stanford Cardinal and San Francisco 49ers is undeniable.
Jim Caldwell was given NO credit for the 2010 Colts and ALL the blame for the 2011 Colts. And so far, the white media is UNDERplaying his influence on the 2013 Ravens, even though its CLEAR that he had a positive influence.

what evidence? Jim had 2 Heisman Finalists on his 8 win stanford team and his 2010 stanford team beat 1 good team.

its better for Caldwell. Manning threw his OL under the bus in 05-06 with the "missed protections" press conference. uh...you called them fuckface. >No, you're an idiot, because you're treating this as a simple >race-baiting case, when I'm actually trying to have a >football >discussion-
ur kinda throwing shade at John Harbaugh tho, which undermines your case given that he's won a playoff game every year hes been a HC
>Caldwell's influence on the Ravens is undeniable.
but John's isnt?
>And so far, the white >media is UNDERplaying his influence on the 2013 Ravens, >even though its CLEAR that he had a positive influence.
this isnt really true tho, ive heard media types talkin bout it.

the ravens hadn't won a playoff game in 6 seasons, and had made the playoffs only 1 of the previous 4 seasons
then harbaugh came in and won at least 1 playoff game in 4 straight seasons pre-caldwell. last year they were a dropped pass from the super bowl
meanwhile, the colts were a juggernaut who won a title pre-caldwell
>And so far, the white >media is UNDERplaying his influence on the 2013 Ravens, >even though its CLEAR that he had a positive influence.
i agree with this though. he should have gotten a bunch of rob ryan-like sideline shots (*edit* booth shots? it's sad that i don't even know if he was on the sideline or in the booth, since they never showed him)

"How" is never overrated, actually
Because coaching is about creating cohesion, implementing the right schemes, making the right moves to put your team in the best position to win.
What did John Harbaugh do? Name it. I'm listening.
What were the schemes? What were the moves?
I know that Jim Caldwell revamped the offense, added balance and took far calculated risks.

so given 54 wins in 5 years, are you disputing that hes done those things? lol
>What did John Harbaugh do? Name it. I'm listening. >What were the schemes? What were the moves?
well he successfully guided the team from Ryan's 46 to Greg Mattison's 4-3 under to Dean Pees 3-4. does that meet your qualifications?
>I know that Jim Caldwell revamped the offense, added >balance and took far calculated risks.
no actually you dont know that. Ray Rice had 16.76 carries per game under Cameron and 16.06 under Caldwell. Flacco avg'd 34.38 attempts per game under Cam, and 33.66 under caldwell.
they found a lot of success because Caldwell trusted Flacco's arm to be able to let the post-wheel develop, and Baltimores receivers are stout guys. he isnt Rich Rodriguez or Steve Spurrier tho. he didnt invent anything.
but keep loading up the questions to make people scared to answer

i named 2 guys who devised offenses unique enough for them to be named.
caldwell has done much less as an offensive mind, and if he is *the* reason BAL is the champ, then John Harbaugh's brilliant staffing decisions are the real reason.
of course i dont believe either of those things, but to give more credit to the OC than their (wildly successful over a period of 5 years) HC is ridiculous
