Ravens Introduce 29-Year-Old Declan Doyle as Offensive Coordinator and 2026 Play-Caller

He described a physical, detailed, explosive plan tailored to Lamar Jackson.

Overview

  • Doyle said he and Jackson spoke for more than an hour on Zoom during the interview process and have continued conversations as they build trust.
  • At 29, Doyle will be the NFL’s youngest offensive play-caller in 2026, and he is still evaluating whether to call plays from the sideline or the coach’s box.
  • He outlined nonnegotiables for the offense—physicality, detail and explosiveness—saying the scheme will be stripped down and rebuilt around Baltimore’s personnel.
  • Doyle said he expects strong participation in voluntary OTAs to accelerate installation of the new system and align with the team’s championship standards.
  • He praised Jackson’s ‘hunger to learn’ and said the two-time MVP has an even higher ceiling, targeting greater consistency within the called play while preserving his off-script playmaking.
