Ravens Hire Caldwell as QB Coach

On Monday the Ravens officially announced former Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell as the teams new quarterbacks coach.

Caldwell was the Colts head coach for the past three seasons, and even made an appearance in Super Bowl XLIV, but he was fired after this years 2-14 debacle. Prior to being the head coach in Indianapolis, he was the Colts quarterbacks coach from 2002-2008.

The Ravens went without a QB coach this past season, instead opting for offensive coordinator Cam Cameron to lend additional attention to the position. This move frees Cameron up to focus on other areas of the offense, and Joe Flacco should only benefit from the presence of Peyton Manning's former tutor.

"I am really excited to work with Coach Harbaugh, Cam and the rest of the coaching staff," Caldwell said in a statement released by the team. "It's a great fit for me, and I'm happy they saw it that way. I can't wait to get started with the Ravens, an organization that from top to bottom is one of the NFL's best. I'm looking forward to coming to Baltimore."

This looks like a great fit for both parties. The Ravens needed to add an experienced quarterbacks coach, and Caldwell returns to a coaching position that he excels at.
