    West – the former Boston College coach wants to be an OC? You have a link for that? I like that idea…

    I also was thinking about the Ravens QB coach. Flacco had a great year. And, someone like that to have around for whoever we draft this year (and we better draft a QB), would be a good idea. Maybe pair him up with Rathman for my dual OC idea? I think it could work.
