Steve Bisciotti staying loyal

As I stated before, I can respect the loyalty of Raven’s owner Steve Bisciotti. I might not necessarily agree with him, but he is the one who owns the team.

During the press conference Bisciotti defending the decision of keeping all three coordinators, especially Marty Mornhinweg. Bisciotti talked about the criticism of fans  for not making changes and said “I didn’t get where I was by just firing people.”

Based on his track record as an owner, this should not surprise anyone. John Harbaugh and Ozzie Newsome will mostly likely go down as the best in their respective positions for the franchise. His bend but don’t break mentality is one that frustrates fans, especially when the team isn’t performing well. In the end the Ravens are lucky to not be in the same situation as the 49ers and Browns, where head coaches come and go each season.

If the Ravens have another mediocre season in 2017, Bisciotti will be facing even more criticism.
