Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has been offered the Baltimore Ravens coaching position, sources told ESPN.



Garrett has not made a decision yet. But according to a league source, there is a "60-40'' chance that Garrett will ultimately accept the chance to succeed Brian Billick, who was fired after the regular season.


Garrett, who arrived at the Ravens' training complex for the second interview on Tuesday morning, was the first candidate to have call-back sessions with the Ravens and Atlanta Falcons.

According to a Cowboys source, Dallas owner Jerry Jones has communicated to Garrett without knowing exactly what the Ravens' financial offer might be that he would match it if Garrett rejects the Ravens' offer.

Here's hoping that Jones can keep him.

Doesn't make sense. Garret is a first year offensive coordinator. I don't see how he can be ready for a head coaching role, he should take Jones matching offer.

Is Sparano a lock for the Miami HC job?

Remember, you are talking about a league that keeps employing Bum Phillip's son just because of his name.

College coaches are almost always a washout in the NFL so they need to get "talent" from within.

ESPN reported that Parcells had Titans D coordinator Jim Schwartz come in and interview.
