From what I've read either of these guys could be alright.
Both are young and John Harbaugh speaks highly of them, and that's a pretty good endorsement from my perspective.
At the same time, it sounds like McDonald will be leaving so Harbaugh might decide to keep one of them if they're 'That good'. I guess we'll see.
Per Aaron's question, Holmgren initially brought along Ray Rhodes as DC after having worked with him in SF. Rhodes returned to after SF two years and was the DC when the 9er's won the SB in '94. Holmgren replaced him with Fritz Shurmmer. Rhodes went to Philly in '95 as HC and was fired after the '98 season.
Wolf hired Rhodes to be HC when Holmgren left for Seattle, and it didn't work.
Rumor was that he was too buddy-buddy with the guys and not 100% trusted or respected due to that. There were other rumors as well. Thanks to Wolf it ended quickly.

Rhodes was a fine DC, but over his head as a head coach. I remember a few just baffling decisions by Ray. I loved Fritz as DC, he had talent and knew how to use it. Let's hope we get another good one.

If Mike MacDonald gets the HC job in Seattle and doesn’t take Wilson or Orr with him and neither of them take over in Baltimore, will you see them as not Packer worthy?

Anthony Weaver and Chris Hewitt both got HCing interviews and are higher up the food chain than Orr and Wilson.

Thanks Chesty. Why does this sound like the Ravens 4th or 5th choice for DC might be our 1st choice?

Less choreography.
More key quickly and attack.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
