Ravens coach John Harbaugh isn't sitting idly by waiting for the 2013 NFL draft to roll around on Thursday. This weekend, Harbaugh and other members of the Ravens organization, including senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne, competed in a Tough Mudder race in Gerrardstown, W.Va. This short video -- set to ear-rattling heavy metal music, of course -- posted on the team's official website shows the coach of the reigning Super Bowl champions climbing cargo nets and other obstacles, carrying logs or his teammates, cannon-balling into muddy ponds, swimming under obstacles, and crawling through mud. You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

The Orioles have announced their minor league coaching staffs for the 2013 season. Most of the staffs remain similar to last year's, although former Orioles player Ryan Minor will become the manager at advanced Class-A Frederick after managing at low Class-A Delmarva for the past three years. He replaces Orlando Gomez, who had been the Keys manager for the past three seasons. Gomez will become the manager of the Orioles' rookie level Gulf Coast League team. The staff at Triple-A Norfolk remains nearly intact, with Ron Johnson returning as manager for his second season, Mike Griffin as pitching coach and Denny Walling the hitting coach. Jose Hernandez will become the team's field coach after working in that capacity at Frederick last year, Delmarva in 2011 and the Gulf Coast League in 2010.

Three days after he confirmed that offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will be retained, Ravens coach John Harbaugh gave his offense -- and Joe Flacco -- an additional voice, hiring Jim Caldwell as the team's quarterbacks coach. Caldwell, who was fired two weeks ago as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts after the completion of a 2-14 campaign, has been a quarterback coach for 15 seasons, most recently for Peyton Manning and the Colts from 2002 to 2008. "After spending considerable time with Jim over the last week, we think he will be an excellent fit with our team, coaching the quarterbacks and helping with our offense," Harbaugh said.
