Overview
- Baltimore announced an agreement with Minter on Jan. 22, installing the franchise’s fourth head coach.
- Minter, 42, was the Chargers’ defensive coordinator after leading Michigan’s top-ranked 2023 defense and previously worked for Baltimore from 2017 to 2020; his Chargers unit ranked fifth in total defense and allowed a league-low 17.7 points per game in 2024.
- U.S. reports indicate the contract spans five years, a term the team has not formally confirmed.
- General manager Eric DeCosta lauded Minter as a strong leader with a bright football mind who will resonate with players and fans.
- The decision followed roughly 16 interviews over 16 days after John Harbaugh’s departure, which concluded an 18-year tenure before he joined the Giants.
