Page "Baltimore Ravens" Paragraph 6

After relocation, Modell hired Ted Marchibroda as the head coach for his new team in Baltimore.

Marchibroda was already well known because of his work as head coach of the Baltimore Colts during the 1970s and the Indianapolis Colts during the early 1990s.

Ozzie Newsome, the Browns ' tight end for many seasons, joined Modell in Baltimore as director of football operations.

He was later promoted to Vice President / General Manager.

A fan contest, drawing 33, 288 voters, was then held to determine the team's name.

The chosen name, " Ravens ," alludes to the famous poem The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, who spent the early part of his career in Baltimore, and is also buried there .< ref >
