Overview
- John Harbaugh’s 18-year tenure ended, giving Baltimore its first head-coach vacancy in nearly two decades.
- Early odds boards list Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula and Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter at the top, with markets also pricing Kliff Kingsbury, Brian Flores and Kevin Stefanski among leading options.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler highlighted Minter as a strong schematic and cultural fit given his Ravens background and his work elevating Los Angeles’ defense.
- Because coaches on playoff teams cannot be interviewed, Baltimore must wait to formally meet with Minter until the Chargers are eliminated or the season concludes.
- Adam Schefter says Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver is expected to draw an interview, as the team vets a broad field that also includes Klint Kubiak and other coordinators.
