The Baltimore Ravens have hired Declan Doyle, 29, as their new offensive coordinator. Doyle previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, where he helped develop second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter praised Doyle's "innovative mindset, collaborative spirit, team-first approach and extensive NFL experience" as key reasons for the hire.

Why it matters

The Ravens' offense was one of the most productive in the NFL in 2024, but regressed in 2025 as star quarterback Lamar Jackson dealt with injuries. Doyle's hiring is seen as a key move to get the Ravens' offense back on track and maximize Jackson's talents.

The details

Doyle, who turns 30 next month, is considered one of the NFL's rising young offensive minds. As the Bears' OC, he helped guide the team to the playoffs this past season with the development of second-year QB Caleb Williams. The Ravens are hoping Doyle can have a similar impact in Baltimore, where he'll be tasked with rebuilding an offense that averaged just 6.1 yards per play in 2025 after leading the league at 6.85 yards per play in 2024.

  • Doyle was hired as the Ravens' new offensive coordinator on February 3, 2026.
