Baltimore Ravens Make Official Coaching Announcement

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Ryan Brooks | Last updated Jan 29, 2025 10:09 AM ET

The Baltimore Ravens, once again, had a shiny regular season. After building a star-studded roster around superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson -- the team posted a 12-win 2024 campaign.

Once again, the playoffs proved to be too much. The Ravens fell in a Divisional Round contest against the Buffalo Bills, losing 27-25 in a soul-crushing matchup.

While Jackson and the Ravens didn't quite secure the playoff success they might have hoped after landing star running back Derrick Henry in the offseason -- they found a building block with the backfield duo.

Now, as the Ravens move forward, they will be dealing with some salary cap issues to not only retain their star-level roster but to add more talent to it and prove to be a Super Bowl-contending club.

One area in which the Ravens can remain consistent and build some continuity is their coaching staff. They extended the contract of offensive coordinator Todd Monken and head coach John Harbaugh could be next.

The club is also returning a defensive backs coach that Harbaugh initially had on his staff in 2008.

The Ravens recently announced that Chuck Pagano is returning to the team in the same capacity 17 years later. He spent some time as Baltimore's defensive coordinator after joining the team as a defensive backs coach.

"We’re excited to welcome back Chuck Pagano as our Sr. Secondary Coach!" the Ravens shared on X.

After spending time as the Ravens' defensive coordinator, Pagano joined the Indianapolis Colts as a head coach before eventually joining the Chicago Bears as a defensive coordinator.

Pagano has a wealth of football experience and will help the Ravens' secondary, which improved over the course of last season after a shaky start in stopping the opposing teams' passing attacks.
