\n High hopes for the Macdonald-Minter connection.<\/p>\n
Macdonald and Ravens first-year Head Coach Jesse Minter are good friends dating back to their days together in Baltimore from 2017-2020.<\/p>\n
They worked together to evolve the Ravens’ defensive scheme, which each coach took to their respective teams after leaving Baltimore.<\/p>\n
Minter has followed the Macdonald path. He became Michigan’s defensive coordinator, made the leap to NFL defensive play-caller for two years, then became a head coach.<\/p>\n
The hope is that Minter can continue that track.<\/p>\n
“Mike and I kind of grew up together here with the Ravens. We think about football I think very similarly and what it takes to build a great team. So happy for him and his success there in Seattle,” Minter told FOX Baltimore’s Morgan Adsit after his introductory press conference.<\/p>\n
“I do think that is a blueprint of showing that it can be done quickly when you get the buy-in from the players and from the people. I look forward to trying to not just match that and get in the Super Bowl in Year 2, [but] hopefully in Year 1.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"High hopes for the Macdonald-Minter connection.
