Head coach Jesse Minter, offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver are set to lead the team in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">At first glance, that seems like an excellent trio. Minter and Doyle are young, exciting minds that will call plays on either side of the ball, and Weaver brings plenty of experience and gravitas to the table. All three hires have received warm receptions from fans and strong grades from national media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But success is no guarantee. None of the three has experience as a head coach. Minter has only called plays at the NFL level for two years, and Doyle has never called plays at all. Is Minter ready for his all-encompassing duties in the top job, and is Doyle prepared to run his own offense? Answers to those questions will not come until the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">None of the three coaches have ever worked together, either. Minter has relied on past connections to fill some of his staff, but he went with brand-new colleagues for his coordinator spots. It could take some time for the new staff to fully gel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Still, it is hard not to get excited about the leadership and schematic expertise that Minter, Weaver, and Doyle are bringing to Baltimore. A Minter- and Weaver-led defense and an offense Doyle designs around two-time MVP Lamar Jackson feels like a recipe for success. But, as always, the proof will be in the pudding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So, what do you think? Have the Ravens struck gold with their top coaching hires, or are fans and the media overhyping a young coaching staff too much, too early?
