Baltimore owner Steve Bisciotti told reporters earlier in January that quarterback Lamar Jackson was expected to have a voice in who would become the next head coach. However, the final decision rests with Bisciotti.

"A lot of say, but he has no power. I have the power," Bisciotti said, via the Ravens' website. "They have opinions, and I want them all. I care about my players very much, but I can't give them power."
Per Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Jackson and several players on the Ravens offense want former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury to call the plays next season.
"I know for a fact that Lamar Jackson and those receivers would like Kliff Kingsbury to run their offense," Russuni said on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd. "They've shown support, they've been vocal about it. They've been part of some of these interviews, too. Lamar Jackson's part of these.
"He's zooming in, he's in touch with the decision makers of what he likes, who he's liked... Anthony Weaver is gonna be in the running for this job, and from what I understand, Kliff Kingsbury would be his OC."
The Ravens interviewed Kingsbury for their head coaching position last week. As Russini suggested, Baltimore has interviewed defensive-minded men for the head coaching gig in recent days.
Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was with the Ravens on Wednesday.
If Weaver takes the head coaching job, Kingsbury could join him on the Ravens as the offensive coordinator. It's unclear if Kingsbury would join Minter.
The player's input could influence Baltimore to hire Weaver as head coach if he intends to hire Kingsbury. Or, the Ravens could pull a surprise and hire Kingsbury as head coach.
Kingsbury went 28-37-1 during his four years as a head coach with Arizona. The Ravens, with Jackson, would offer Kingsbury more talent than he's ever worked with in the league.
