Ravens interview Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile for their coaching vacancy

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens have interviewed Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile for their coaching vacancy.

In his first season as their coordinator, the Jaguars improved from 4-13 to 13-4. He was an assistant for the Green Bay Packers the previous season and coached linebackers for the Miami Dolphins from 2020-23.

The Ravens have also interviewed Joe Brady, 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. Kevin Stefanski and Robert Saleh interviewed, but Stefanski has since been hired by the Atlanta Falcons and Saleh reached an agreement with the Tennessee Titans.

The Ravens fired coach John Harbaugh earlier this month after 18 seasons in charge. Harbaugh was hired by the New York Giants.

Defensive coordinators are 3 of first 5 head coaching hires

Jesse Minter, Robert Saleh and Jeff Hafley earned their head coaching opportunities on the defensive side of the ball. Three of the five new hires this coaching cycle are former defensive coordinators. There are five openings still remaining and a few more defensive coaches could get a job, including Sean McDermott, Brian Flores and Vance Joseph. Maybe the trend is shifting. NFL teams have often sought offensive coaches in recent years. The success of guys like Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur inspired organizations to seek the rising offensive coordinators. Liam Coen and Ben Johnson stepped in and led their teams to division titles in their first season as head coaches after leading offenses.
