Perhaps the biggest question surrounding Jesse Minter when he took the Ravens’ head coaching job was whether he had enough connections to build an above-average NFL staff. Minter has answered that question and then some with the hires he’s made so far.
News broke yesterday that Anthony Weaver will be Minter’s defensive coordinator. Weaver was strongly in contention for a number of head coaching jobs, but when all 10 vacancies were filled and new Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley brought in his own DC, Weaver was out of a job in Miami. Weaver is an outstanding leader, and someone many current Ravens defenders hold a ton of respect for from his time as an assistant in 2021-23.
