Ravens Hire Chargers Defensive Coordinator Jesse Minter as Head Coach

Jesse Minter, the youngest head coach in Ravens history, returns after leading top-ranked NFL defense and helping Michigan win the 2023 national title.

  • On Jan. 22, 2026, the Baltimore Ravens agreed to terms with Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to be their head coach, the team announced Thursday.
  • After Baltimore fired John Harbaugh on Jan. 6, the organization completed an extensive search interviewing 16 candidates before hiring Jesse Minter.
  • Under Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, Minter helped orchestrate a defense that allowed the fewest points in 2024, after ranking 24th a year earlier, and finished in the top 10 in scoring defense.
  • In Baltimore, Minter will be expected to lead two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and a roster with six Pro Bowl selections, while owner Steve Bisciotti said he wants to finalize a contract extension before free agency.
  • Minter returns to Baltimore after serving elsewhere since 2020, having previously worked on the Baltimore Ravens staff from 2017-20, and Jim Harbaugh said it was only a matter of when he would advance.
