The Baltimore Ravens' new head coach does not plan to step back from being a defensive coordinator in 2026. Minter, who has been a defensive coordinator for 11 of the last 15 years, confirmed he will still call the defensive plays in 2026. pic.twitter.com/R4Q4mzCIDU — Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) January 29, 2026Minter has yet to hire an offensive or defensive coordinator since accepting the head coaching job. By retaining defensive play-calling duties, he could follow Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles' blueprint and forgo hiring a defensive coordinator altogether. He was a defensive assistant in his first two years before being named assistant defensive backs coach, and eventually promoted to defensive backs coach in 2020.
