Ravens interview rising AFC coordinator for HC opening 🏈

The latest candidate is 43-year-old Anthony Campanile, an AFC defensive coordinator on the rise, who has become the 17th person to interview since John Harbaugh was fired on January 8 after 18 seasons. Harbaugh then landed with the New York Giants on January 15. 🧭🏈🗓️

Campanile helped turn around Jacksonville’s defense in 2025, guiding them to a 13-4 record under first-year head coach Liam Coen. The Jaguars climbed from 31st in the NFL in defense in 2024 to 11th in 2025. He also helped first-round pick Devin Lloyd develop into an NFL All-Pro in one season. “Players absolutely love Anthony Campanile,” one outlet wrote, praising him as a pure football guy who could be really special with the right staff. 🛡️📈💬

Harbaugh was fired by Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti after 18 seasons and quickly drew interest as one of the NFL’s top coaching candidates. He ultimately took the Giants’ job on a reported 5-year, $100 million contract, giving him broad control over the organization and succeeding Brian Daboll, who was fired after a 2-8 start and a 20-40-1 run in just under four seasons. The Giants reportedly beat out the Falcons and Titans for his services. 🧨💼💵🏟️
