Jesse Minter is bringing over a former assitant that worked with him on the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jesse Minter has been busy filling out his coaching staff, but there have been few to no assistants from his time with the Los Angeles Chargers being added to the Baltimore Ravens.
That has now changed, as it's been reported that Minter is bringing on Miles Taylor as assistant defensive backs coach. Taylor worked with Minter as a coaching fellow in 2025.
The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec reported on the hire, stating:
"Taylor who was with Chargers last year will be Ravens assistant DBs coach."
Oddly enough, Taylor had joined Nebraska to be the safeties coach with the program, but has now departed after a month. He returns to the NFL to join Minter's staff with the Ravens.
Mike Mickens is the pass game coordinator and secondary coach, and Taylor will now coach under Mickens, along with Minter.
Minter has been steadily building his staff, landing big names like Anthony Weaver as defensive coordinator, Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator, and more.
The Ravens are entering a new era of football, and the team appears to be headed towards focusing on a defensive identity once again. That is not to say the offense will not be formidable, but Minter is building a defensive staff that can help the organization return to an identity it had for decades.
Lamar Jackson and company are sure to remain formidable, especially under Doyle, but Minter will call plays on the defensive side of the ball.
Minter also has Weaver back, who was the former defensive line and assistant head coach for the Ravens during the 2021 and 2023 seasons. He would leave to join the Miami Dolphins as defensive coordinator.
With Taylor now in place, he will be responisble to aiding Mickens in getting the secondary back into shape. All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton put together another impressive year, but the cornerback situation for the Ravens left a lot to be desired.
Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins remain solid players, but the secondary often got carved up by opposing quarterbacks. That cannot happen in 2026 if the Ravens are to return to competing and aim to get over their long-standing Super Bowl drought.
