Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson sets the offense against the Minnesota Vikings during November 9, 2025 game.
The Baltimore Ravens requested an interview with Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers coach Tyler Tettleton. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the franchise and many view the 35-year-old with increasing respect.
“The #Ravens have requested #Jaguars assistant Tyler Tettleton for WRs coach, source said. Tettleton is involved deeply in offensive game planning for the Jags and is seen as a future OC. He interviewed for Ohio University’s head coaching job last year.”
After a standout career at Ohio University as a quarterback, Tettleton started his career at the University of Oklahoma before climbing the ladder. From Cleveland to Jacksonville and a couple of college stops, his resume dots.
Tettleton was a holdover before Jaguars’ head coach Liam Coen arrived. Keeping him means the new head coach saw something in the assistant that made him part of the new staff. Requesting an interview suggests that Tettleton could be in play for an eventual offensive coordinator job.
Why Tettleton Could Be the Key to Unlocking the Ravens’ Passing Game
If the Ravens hire Tettleton to run the offense, the direction of the scheme will be solely his. New head coach Jesse Minter stated that his focus will be on calling the defensive plays. As a result, Tettleton would take the offense. Under Todd Monken, the offense excelled in the running game.
Ranking in the top three in attempts, yards, average, and touchdowns set the team up for success. Yet, the passing offense settled in the bottom third of the NFL. Additionally, as the wide receivers coach and a former quarterback himself, Tettleton probably wants to throw the ball.

Steve Bisciotti’s ‘Teaching Mindset’: How Tyler Tettleton Fits the Ravens’ New Identity Under Declan Doyle
When Ravens management fired John Harbaugh, owner Steve Bisciotti stressed the need to bring in coaches with a teaching mindset. That is to say, the scheme from conception to delivery to execution depends on the coordinator’s ability to articulate the ideas.
When the Ravens were successful in recent years, they relied on a mobile quarterback and a strong rushing attack. However, Baltimore has not advanced past the conference championship during Lamar Jackson’s career. How does Tettleton play into Doyle’s plans?
Under those circumstances, the team could also look to bolster its receiving corps to move forward with the passing game. With Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman as the two main wideouts on the roster, the depth chart looks to need improvement.

While veteran DeAndre Hopkins expressed a desire to return, the unknown of Tettleton’s offense still exists. Moreover, Hopkins turns 34 on June 6. Would the Ravens want to extend a veteran pass catcher that could possibly command an eight-figure payday?

Could Tettleton Figure into the Long Game?
Like similarly aged coaches, Tettleton eventually becoming an offensive coordinator is the next step on the road to a head coaching spot. Yet would Baltimore want to turn part of the offensive burden over to someone who has never run one before? With many veterans on both sides of the ball and a quarterback nearing 30, what would the learning curve look like?
In contrast, management looks to roll the metaphorical dice with a defensive coordinator who has never been a head coach. Either way, Tettleton’s potential interview could mean a change in approach in Baltimore.
