NFL coaching changes 2026
Entities: Jesse Minter · Baltimore Ravens · Under Armour Performance Center · John Harbaugh · Los Angeles Chargers
Overview
In late July 2026 the NFL announced two high‑profile coaching moves. Former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was named head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, a team seeking to improve its defensive identity and return to serious playoff contention after a disappointing 2025 season. At the same time, veteran Baltimore coach John Harbaugh took over as head coach of the New York Giants, tasked with tightening discipline and cutting penalty yardage that plagued the Giants in 2025.
A few days later, further details about the Ravens' hire were released. Minter, whose defense ranked first in points allowed in 2024, received praise from veteran tackle Ronnie Stanley for his positive mindset. At the first full‑squad practice, quarterback Lamar Jackson met with Minter to discuss defensive strategies, underscoring a renewed urgency as the franchise aims to rebound.
These reports trace the initial announcement of the coaching changes and the subsequent focus on Minter’s background, expectations, and early interactions with the Ravens roster.
