Wouldn't read too much into him not being fired though. I believe he's on leave so it's not like the organization is keeping him, he'll be gone. Ravens players are rightfully angry that he put them and their families in jeopardy. They'd probably punch him if he showed his face in there.

The big argument I keep seeing around here is how much of it is Harbaugh's fault. Some think he's 100% responsible for not being strict enough. Others think it's impossible to police everything, especially the weight room, and it's all on the strength coach. I don't have an opinion because we're not close enough to really know. And all the info coming out in the future will be spun. Just seems like a ton of speculation. But as usual, people are angry and opinionated and think they know what goes on inside The Castle. 

Have any thoughts Luvnit2 or anybody else? Would you blame your coach or is this part of playing football in a pandemic and one meathead strength coach just messed up really bad?

I will say upfront it is very hard to control employees who have far different views from this virus will end the world (extremely worried) to those who think no worse than the flu as far as mortality rate (blow it off). So, I am in the middle, do all we can to not infect others or ourselves, but live life.

The only major negative I see for the HC (who in my opinion is responsible for policy being enacted is the Ravens were already fined, to be fined means they have already had major issues at least once. I also don't know how each team structures their own bubble so to speak. If I were the owner, I would hire a person who monitors the facility when anyone is in the facility. It sounds like they have some type of individual monitoring attached to each person in the building, but if I read it right, the strength coach did not wear it consistently.

That is one I say fire the strength coach, they do not need a long investigation, they already knew he did not wear a mask all the time and did not wear the monitoring device. What message do you send when he simply is placed on leave? To me, the message is it was OK for him to infect the team and put lives at risk of not only the Ravens, but the teams they played.

Having said that, my guess is the FO is deciding the fate of the coach, not the HC so they are the ones to be held accountable.
