On The Insiders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network named two names to watch for the Ravens’ next OC: Joe Brady and Kliff Kingsbury. Both have been part of the ongoing Ravens coaching dialogue as Minter scouts options to pair with his defense-first approach.
Joe Brady, the former Bills offensive coordinator, is also a head-coaching candidate elsewhere. He is scheduled for a second interview with the Las Vegas Raiders this week and remains in consideration to replace Sean McDermott as the Bills’ head coach. Brady’s play-calling helped Buffalo finish near the top of several offensive metrics.
As for Kingsbury, he was interviewed during the Ravens’ filter process as well. While he was not retained as Washington Commanders offensive coordinator after the 2025 season, the decision was not attributed to poor performance. Kingsbury’s unit finished strong in several areas, including 4th in yards per carry, 8th in rushing, and 6th in red-zone touchdown rate.
If Minter wants to avoid waiting on Brady’s head-coaching process, he could move quickly to pursue Kingsbury, but the pool of OC candidates and the possibility that Brady lands with Buffalo or Las Vegas could favor a more patient approach.
The Ravens’ pursuit underscores a strategic, patient search for an offensive play-caller who can complement Minter’s defensive mindset and help elevate Baltimore’s offense while he builds the rest of the staff.
Overall, the timeline and candidate pool remain fluid, with Kingsbury and Brady poised as the top names in current discussions as Minter shapes his initial Ravens coaching staff.
