Jesse Minter Built Ravens Staff Off Chemistry

"You definitely look at specifically, I think, each side of the ball as a puzzle to making sure that, you know, Declan has his experiences and where he's been, you want him to be surrounded by people that can help him do the job at the highest level?" he said.

"So, there's a few that maybe he's worked with prior. There's also a few that maybe I that I have history with, and then there's different levels of experience, and there's different levels of guys that have been play callers, passing game coordinators, all those different types of things that can really help support a younger, newer play caller that I felt like maybe I had as I was coming up as that type of position, and then on defense, you know, really looking for teachers, connectors, fundamentalists, and how they how they will teach the guys how to play defense and what we expect how to play defense like the Ravens need to play defense."

Minter's picks for the coordinators were a mix of inexperience, first-time play-callers and veteran coaches. Doyle has never called plays, while Weaver did it the last two years with the Miami Dolphins as their defensive coordinator. Levine has been a special teams assistant over the last few years under former head coach John Harbaugh, but this will be the first time as a coordinator.

However, the years of experience each coach has don't matter to Minter, as he knows exactly what he's looking for.

"It really was irrelevant of pro experience, college experience, years of experience, it was being able to go through an interview process, connect with these guys, see what they would be like in front of the room, see what they would be like, connecting with players, their technique backgrounds. So it all, it all fits together as a puzzle, like you mentioned. And then in special teams, same thing, we have a very experienced Randy and Ben helping our special teams with Anthony. So I think fitting all that together, you're trying to put that room in the best position to be successful by blending all the different experiences."

With the coaching staff now completed for the Ravens, Minter and company have the tough task of putting together a roster that can get this team to the Super Bowl as soon as possible.
