Ravens fire offensive coordinator Marc Trestman

The Baltimore Ravens have fired offensive coordinator Marc Trestman, the club confirmed Monday.

Quarterbacks coach Marty Mornhinweg will take over the job.

"After very careful consideration, I have decided to make a change to our offensive coaching staff and have replaced Marc Trestman with Marty Mornhinweg as offensive coordinator for the rest of the season. My obligations are to the team, the organization and the fans to be the very best team we can be," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said in a statement. "Today we find ourselves one game out of the division and conference lead after experiencing two tough losses at home. We will work to be better in every aspect of our football team. Our expectations are high, and we look forward to fulfilling them.

"I appreciate and respect the efforts and contributions Marc has made to the team since his arrival. Marc is a good person and an excellent football coach."

Trestman was hired by Harbaugh in 2015, after two seasons as head coach of the Chicago Bears, where Trestman went a combined 13-19.

Through five games this season, the Ravens have yet to crack 30 points. They were shut out in the second half of a 16-10 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday, dropping to 3-2 after a 3-0 start.

Questions about the offense abounded after Sunday's loss, including why starting running back Terrance West - who finished with 95 yards rushing - carried the ball just 11 times in the game.

Trestman has a reputation as a "quarterback whisperer," but it's fair to question whether it's deserved. No Ravens completion went for more than 15 yards Sunday and Joe Flacco called his team's performance "embarrassing."
