Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Ravens fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/EFIUQ7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s hard to grade new coaching hires before they have really started the job, but we still know plenty about their history and the Ravens\u2019 process of selecting them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Baltimore\u2019s search for their offensive and defensive coordinator was not as thorough as their expansive process of finding a new head coach. They only interviewed a handful of coaches for each gig, some of whom were up for the head coaching job as well. Moving so quickly allowed the Ravens to secure their desired hires before they were snapped up by other teams, but that may have caused them to overlook other candidates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Ravens\u2019 eventual hires \u2013 OC Declan Doyle and DC Anthony Weaver \u2013 have two very different histories. Weaver is extremely well-respected around the league and interviewed for the Ravens\u2019 head coach vacancy as well as several other head coach and DC jobs. His expertise with the defensive line \u2013 dating back to 2012 with success on multiple teams \u2013 seems to fit well with Minter\u2019s background as a defensive backs coach. His experience will also be important to a first-time head coach with just two years as an NFL coordinator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In stark contrast to his defensive counterpart, Doyle has a short resume with just seven years in the league with three different teams. He has only been a coordinator for one year, and a non-play-calling one at that. This is a big swing from Minter, a sizable bet that Doyle can quickly harness the abilities of his mentors, Sean Payton and Ben Johnson. The Ravens are in win-now mode with little time for potential first-year bumps with Doyle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So, what do you think of the Ravens\u2019 coordinator hires? Weaver, admittedly, feels like an undeniably smart hire. But did the Ravens miss an opportunity to add some new blood by staying in their coaching tree? And Doyle, well, he is still somewhat of an unknown. Did it make sense for the Ravens to hire a relatively inexperienced coach when they are aiming to immediately return to championship contention?
