UPDATE: The Baltimore Ravens have taken immediate action in their search for a new head coach, interviewing Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady along with San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. These interviews come just days after both teams were eliminated from the playoffs on January 14, 2024.
The Ravens are in urgent need of leadership after parting ways with longtime coach John Harbaugh earlier this month following 18 seasons at the helm. Harbaugh has since agreed to become the head coach of the New York Giants after being swiftly hired on January 13, 2024.
The interview with Brady marks a significant opportunity for the young coach, who has not yet held a head coaching position but has proven his mettle as a coordinator with both the Bills and previously with the Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile, Saleh, returning to a defensive role after a stint as head coach of the New York Jets, brings experience that could be pivotal as the Ravens look to rebuild.
In addition to Brady and Saleh, the Ravens have also conducted interviews with a host of candidates, including Mike McDaniel, Anthony Weaver, Jesse Minter, Jim Schwartz, Brian Flores, Kliff Kingsbury, Matt Nagy, Vance Joseph, Davis Webb, Klint Kubiak, Chris Shula, and Nathan Scheelhaase. Notably, Kevin Stefanski was also in the mix but has since been hired by the Atlanta Falcons.
The urgency surrounding the Ravens’ coaching search is palpable as they aim to find a leader who can guide the team back to playoff contention after a disappointing season. With the coaching landscape rapidly changing, fans and analysts alike are closely monitoring the situation, eager to see who will take the reins in Baltimore.
As the Ravens move forward with their interviews, all eyes will be on the candidates emerging as frontrunners. The next steps in this high-stakes process are crucial for the future of the franchise. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
