smaxor5 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Over pay the sh*t out of him. Show everyone that you mean business Woody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 On board for this. Ozzie is a terrific evaluator of talent. Learning under him these past years and his coming up through the ranks makes it a no brainer. Now if he can only bring John Harbaugh with him.

KRL Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 This will be interesting because if you're DeCosta how long do you "wait" for Ozzie Newsome to retire. It doesn't seem like that's going to happen anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 DeCosta is just the name everyone knows. He may be great, but who knows? I'm glad they're out there turning over every rock, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like that's going to happen anytime soon Unless they bump Ozzie to President of Football Operations and DeCosta as GM. It's only a title game but they give him a pay raise to boot.

Vinny16 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 They won't get him, as I can't see him taking the Jets job after having turned down so many in the past. Still, they have to try, and hopefully this is the year that he's finally decided he'll have to wait too long for his turn in Baltimore and decides to move on.

Integrity28 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 DeCosta is just the name everyone knows. He may be great, but who knows? I'm glad they're out there turning over every rock, though. People know his name because he is a coveted candidate every year. Too bad, they can't use Rex. We took a crack at Decosta 2 years ago, and he shrugged us off... when the parameter was "keep Rex". So yea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 DeCosta is just the name everyone knows. He may be great, but who knows? I'm glad they're out there turning over every rock, though. It is but I think its for good reason. Ozzie is solid and he's had to learn a thing or two from him. Also, Steve Bisciotti is one the best businessmen in the country. You'd think he's learned a little bit from him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 DeCosta is just the name everyone knows. He may be great, but who knows? I'm glad they're out there turning over every rock, though. None of of us know sh*t... but Ravens are good every year, do better then average in drafting and this guy doesn't have an accountants background. Better chance this works out then hiring the cap guy from the Oakland Raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what his motivations are for staying put, maybe its family reasons? Generally speaking, I'd prefer the guy who would want to come here and fix something that's been broken for a long long time. Also NYC. This job has to be the biggest challenge out there, and we have an early pick and plenty of CAP space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 "As soon as Ozzie retires it's a cocktail napkin that reads, "I resign as the GM of the CB." Ozzie is classier than "he that shall not be named" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBallhawk Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Wish people would stop bringing up his name. He's not leaving Baltimore. It's a great organization, they're winning, he built that place up, he has all the scouts in place that he trusts, he has been declining every job interview for the last 10 years with other teams. He's not gonna leave now when Ozzie is about to retire next year so that some other guy can just come in and profit off of all the hard work he put in. It's just NOT happening. Move on.
