Ravens Install Declan Doyle as OC, Expected to Rehire Anthony Weaver as DC

Jesse Minter will call defensive plays to reshape a unit that slid in 2025.

Overview

  • The team officially announced Monday that 29-year-old Declan Doyle is the new offensive coordinator, bringing experience under Ben Johnson and Sean Payton despite lacking prior in-game play-calling.
  • ESPN reports Baltimore is expected to hire Anthony Weaver as defensive coordinator, marking his third stint with the franchise after roles as a Ravens player and assistant coach.
  • Minter said in his introductory news conference that he will run the defense on game days, leaving Weaver to lead meetings, game planning and the defensive front.
  • The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec reports veteran play-caller Joe Lombardi is joining the staff as a senior offensive assistant to support Doyle.
  • The moves follow a disappointing 8-9 season in which Baltimore’s defense ranked 24th in total yards allowed and 30th against the pass, prompting a swift staff overhaul under the first-time head coach.
