The Baltimore Ravens revealed their revamped coaching staff on Wednesday, marking a new chapter under head coach Jesse Minter, who is determined to steer the team toward a strategy centered on physical prowess.
Minter introduced three new coordinators, each tasked with defining the team’s identity across various aspects of the game. The Ravens are on a mission to establish themselves as “one of the most physically dominating teams in the NFL” under this fresh leadership framework.

Youngest Offensive Coordinator Takes the Helm
Declan Doyle, who is just 29 years old, becomes the Ravens’ offensive coordinator after previously holding the same position with the Chicago Bears. This makes him the youngest play caller currently in the NFL, sharing the same age as quarterback Lamar Jackson.
“This is my 11th year coaching, and I’ve usually been younger than everyone else in the room. It seems I’ve always been underage for every role I’ve held. However, I’ve learned that age is irrelevant; knowledge is what truly matters,” Doyle remarked.
Since his hiring, Doyle has begun collaborating with Jackson and has shared his ambitions for reshaping the Ravens’ offensive strategy.
“Our offensive vision has a few non-negotiables: we want to be physical, meticulous, and explosive. These core principles are what we intend to build our foundation upon,” Doyle expressed.
A Familiar Face Returns to Guide the Defense
Anthony Weaver makes his return to the Ravens as the defensive coordinator, following a stint as a defensive end with the team and more recently serving as the defensive coordinator for Miami. Even with rumors of potential head coaching roles elsewhere, Weaver is enthusiastic about his new position with the Ravens.
“I’m here to compete for a Super Bowl and to become a lasting part of this organization. Just like I celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 2000 championship team last year, I want that experience again,” Weaver stated.
“Moreover, I’m dedicated to serving our players and helping them unlock their fullest potential. You don’t need to be a head coach to achieve that; I can effectively do so from this role,” he added.
Special Teams Coordinator Upholds Ravens Tradition
Taking over as the special teams coordinator is former Ravens safety Anthony Levine Sr., who brings an in-depth understanding of the team’s culture and values.
“Special teams aren’t just about executing plays; we aim to make a significant positive impact on the game,” Levine Sr. highlighted.
He is keenly aware of the longstanding special teams legacy within the Ravens organization and is committed to upholding those elevated standards.
Minter acknowledged the tight timeline before his staff, emphasizing that teams with new coaching personnel will kick off their offseason practices on April 6, creating a fast-paced preparation schedule.
