A little over one week after hiring new head coach Jesse Minter, the Ravens have filled their second-most important coaching vacancy by hiring Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. He will take up the same job in Baltimore, where he will be tasked with building a new offense around two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Doyle, 29, has seven years of coaching experience in total at the NFL level. Prior to working under Ben Johnson as the Bears’ offensive coordinator last season, Doyle was the Denver Broncos’ tight ends coach for two years in 2023 and 2024. Doyle followed Sean Payton to Denver after previously working on his staff with the New Orleans Saints as an offensive assistant coach from 2019 to 2022.

Doyle was a candidate for other offensive coordinator openings as well, including the Philadelphia Eagles’ job which he just recently pulled out of consideration for. He emerged as a prime candidate for the Ravens in recent days, overtaking other potential options like Davis Webb and Kliff Kingsbury.

The connections to Johnson and Payton, two of the NFL’s top offensive minds, are obviously part of Doyle’s appeal. His lack of experience as a play-caller is by far the biggest question mark surrounding his potential in Baltimore, and there is no real way to assuage that concern until the 2026 season. Until then, Doyle will be focused on retooling Baltimore’s offense after their disappointing performance in 2025.
