🔥 Here’s the eye-popper: Baltimore is blocking one key coach from jumping elsewhere. Special teams czar Chris Horton is being kept in Baltimore, with the team reportedly vetoing lateral moves to other clubs. Horton has been with the Ravens since 2014 and has led the special teams unit since 2019. His retention, along with whispers about keeping assistants Anthony Levine Sr. and Randy Brown, signals a desire for continuity even as a new HC is chosen.
⚖️ It’s a calculated move, especially since a new head coach often brings a full staff reset. Baltimore seems to be hedging its bets and preserving some Harbaugh-era holdovers to smooth the transition.
🧭 The HC search is narrowing: names are starting to fly off the board, and the Ravens aren’t in a rush. One clear takeaway? Whoever they hire won’t have to worry about replacing Horton, at least right away.
📊 Big takeaway: continuity on special teams could be a steadying force as Baltimore plots its next chapter. The Ravens look closer than ever to landing their next head coach while keeping a core of proven contributors in place. 🏈🔥
