Mike Macdonald has been one the many shining stars of our team this year and has proven himself to be a very good and capable DC. There’s no doubt that he’s going to be one of the most sort after candidates for a head coaching job and deservedly so. My question is, if the only way to hold onto him is to offer him Harbaugh’s job, would you be willing to do that? Personally i think ownership values Harbaugh a lot and would choose him. Hopefully Macdonald like Ben Johnson in Detroit this last offseason, decides he likes what he has in Baltimore and decides to stay. What do you think?
The league has seen countless good to great coordinators fail as head coaches. Not saying that Macdonald wouldn’t be a good head coach, Its just that they are significantly more difficult to find. I prefer to hold onto ours.
