Add another name to the list of coaches who have spoken to the Ravens about their offensive coordinator job.

Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com reports that their head coach John Harbaugh has spoken with former Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich about the position. Leftwich was fired by Tampa after their playoff loss to the Cowboys.

Leftwich was a head coaching candidate after the last couple of seasons, but the Buccaneers’ struggles throughout the 2022 season pushed him out the door after four seasons with the team.

The Ravens have started lining up second interviews for the job and it’s not clear if Leftwich remains in the running with the likes of Vikings tight ends coach/passing game coordinator Brian Angelichio, Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Outten, Seahawks quarterbacks coach Dave Canales, and University of Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

  1. This one sounds like a Lamar request and further proof you don’t leave football decisions like coaching hires and draft picks up to the players

  2. Lots of OC who don’t have a superbowl and a few top 5 offenses on their resume get second chance after 1 down year. Nathaniel Hackett as a player caller never had an offense above 15th and got 3 OC jobs and a headcoaching job. Let’s see if Byron Leftwich is afforded the same privilege.

  3. Bruce Arians leaves… well…. yoou get what you get. I guess at least now we won’t have to hear about him being a hot HC candidate now.
    Thank god the Jags hired Pederson.

  4. In Leftwich’s defense his QB was mentally checked out and physically incapable. Father time caught up with the GOAT.

  5. Next we’re going to hear they want to interview Abe Lincoln for the gig.

    Hint: Interviewing this many people is not a good thing.

    Tom Brady had 4694 yards (#3 in the league), 25 TDs (#8), 9 Ints, and lead the league in completions. Tom Brady’s worst year was still in the Top 10 statistically and better than most. You obviously know very little about football.

  7. And Byron told them no way he goes from coaching a QB who can actually throw to one who can only run. Funny enough, all the free-agent WRs have said the same thing for years now.

  8. Whoever hires Leftwich should get ready for their QB passing 50 times a game amd having no running game. Not exactly a formula for success.

    Stop trying to prop up Brady with these meaningless stats. Dude was straight garbage this season. You saw and I saw it. Brady threw awful,head-scratching passes over and over. And his record was sub. 500. Are we just supposed to ignore that? In the weakness division, no less. Bye, Brady.

  10. Brady retired with ZERO winning seasons without elite coaching. That’s not Leftwich’s fault. The QB can’t win without being carried by his coaching and teammates and last season was proof.
