The Baltimore Ravens have announced that Jesse Minter has been appointed their new head coach following the departure of John Harbaugh.
Harbaugh spent 18 seasons in charge of the Ravens before being fired earlier this month. He was the most successful coach in franchise history but lost his job after Baltimore failed to make the playoffs.
Minter most recently served as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers, having previously been on the staff of the Ravens.
Now the 42-year-old has been given the top job. Baltimore general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement: ‘We are thrilled to announce an agreement with Jesse Minter to be the fourth head coach in Baltimore Ravens history.
‘Jesse is a strong leader who possesses a brilliant football mind and a spirit that will resonate with our players and fanbase alike.
‘Jesse comes from a football family, with success at every level of the sport, and we are confident that he is the right head coach to lead the Ravens forward.
‘Congratulations to Jesse and his wife, Rachelle, and the entire Minter family. It’s time to get to work.’
