Ravens Appoint Declan Doyle as New Offensive Coordinator: Source
The Baltimore Ravens have officially appointed Declan Doyle as their new offensive coordinator. This announcement comes as part of head coach Jesse Minter’s strategic vision for the team. According to sources, Doyle accepted the position after a meeting with Minter and other Ravens officials at the Under Armour Performance Center.
Profile of Declan Doyle
At just 29 years old, Declan Doyle becomes the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL. He has seven years of coaching experience, including a year as an offensive coordinator, although that role was non-play-calling with the Chicago Bears. Additionally, he has three seasons as a student assistant at Iowa, where he first began his coaching journey.
Coaching Experience
- Student Assistant at Iowa (2016-2018)
- Offensive Assistant at New Orleans Saints (2019-2022)
- Tight Ends Coach at Denver Broncos (2023-2024)
- Offensive Coordinator at Chicago Bears (2025, non-play-calling)
Impact on the Ravens’ Offense
Doyle will be responsible for leading an offense that includes superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP, and future Hall of Fame running back Derrick Henry. This position comes with significant expectations, especially as the Ravens have recently struggled with offensive consistency.
During his introductory press conference, Minter emphasized the need for Doyle to establish a connection with Jackson. This relationship will be key to improving the team’s offensive performance, which faced challenges due to injuries and inconsistency in the previous season.
Competition for the Position
Before accepting the Ravens’ offer, Doyle backed out of the offensive coordinator candidacy for the Philadelphia Eagles. The Ravens initially considered several qualified candidates, including:
- Nathan Scheelhaase – Los Angeles Rams Pass Game Coordinator
- Davis Webb – Denver Broncos Pass Game Coordinator
- Scottie Montgomery – Detroit Lions Wide Receivers Coach
- Kliff Kingsbury – Former Washington Commanders Offensive Coordinator
Looking Forward
The appointment of Declan Doyle signifies a bold step for head coach Jesse Minter. With a history of working under influential coaches like Sean Payton and Ben Johnson, Doyle brings a fresh, innovative perspective to the Ravens’ offensive strategy. His performance in this role will be closely monitored as Baltimore aims to bounce back from recent setbacks.
As the Ravens prepare for the upcoming season, the focus will be on building an effective offensive unit under Doyle’s leadership, capitalizing on the talents of Jackson and Henry to enhance team performance.
