The message seems to be the same around the NFL regarding the Baltimore Ravens hiring Jesse Minter as the head coach: they got a good one.
Minter has dominated as the Los Angeles Chargers’ defensive coordinator over the last two years, leading one of the best units in the NFL. Now, a player who played under Minter, Chargers cornerback Cam Hart, shared with NFL insider Jordan Schultz about what the Ravens are getting in Minter.
“Coach Minter is a terrific coach. I honestly believe he’s one of the smartest coaches I have ever played for,” he said. “He’s a football maniac. A relationships dude, and I think that goes a long way. Just that the relationships that he’s built, the camaraderie that our defense had, I attribute that to him. So, they’re getting a great head coach.”
High praise once again directed towards Jesse Minter
In Minter’s first season as the Chargers’ defensive coordinator in 2024, they were ranked 11th in yards allowed and first in points allowed. The 2025 season was arguably better for Los Angeles as they were fifth in yards allowed and ninth in points allowed.
