Word on the street is that the Ravens have extended a contract offer to Jason Garrett, the current offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys and hopefully the future head coach of the Baltimore Ravens (ESPN article).
A source puts Garrett's odds at accepting the job at 60/40. That's a pretty good percentage, 60 percent. It's certainly better than Boller's completion percentage for his career (56.9%).
As I wrote yesterday, I'd be happy if Garrett agrees to coach the Ravens. Ideally you hope your coach gets an offer and is 100 percent sure he wants the job, but I understand his hesitation: What he's being asked to do with Baltimore's offense is work miracles. It's a bit like asking Steven Spielberg to direct a reality TV show. No matter what he does, there is a good chance it's still going to be a piece of sh1t.
Hopefully we'll know before the end of today. Then we can move on from this speculation and start speculating about more important things, like the price of oil, universal health care, the '08 race for the White House, terrorism, poverty, and the NFL Draft.

I don't think Garrett is a bad choice, but I wonder if the team would think he's the one to shape Kyle Boller. Yet again.
When Billick was fired so was Boller.
