There are a lot of great things about being a really good football team. But it always comes with a few downsides here and there. For one thing, it becomes more expensive to keep your roster together. Players from winning teams tend to get overpaid even more when they hit the open market because they’re seen as contributing to that success.
Another negative side effect of success is that those who put that success together at the schematic level draw a good deal of interest from the outside. And that’s what the Baltimore Ravens are experiencing right now, with both of their coordinators fielding a series of interviews for head coaching jobs, and at this point it feels unlikely that they don’t lose at least one of them.
