ExtremeRavens Posted Friday at 07:44 PM Posted Friday at 07:44 PM The NFL investigation into Justin Tucker’s alleged sexual misconduct is ongoing, and so is the football side of the operation for the Ravens. On Friday, the team announced the addition of several new hires to coach John Harbaugh’s staff, a few of which had not been previously announced. In all, Harbaugh has added six coaches amid a few who weren’t brought back this offseason. The latest hires include defensive backs coach Donald D’Alesio, assistant linebackers coach Matt Pees, assistant special teams coach Anthony Levine Sr. and assistant strength and conditioning coach Kevin Hartman. Running backs coach Willie Taggart was also given an assistant head coach title. The Ravens also previously announced the addition of senior defensive assistant/secondary coach Chuck Pagano and inside linebackers coach Tyler Santucci. D’Alesio comes to Baltimore from the Kansas City Chiefs, where he spent the past three seasons as their safeties coach after one season as a defensive assistant. He replaces Doug Mallory, who spent one year with Baltimore before being let go. Before coaching, D’Alesio played safety at Youngstown State, where he later spent five seasons in a variety of roles, including as defensive coordinator in 2019 before serving as a defensive analyst for LSU in 2020. Levine, meanwhile, should be a familiar face for Ravens fans. The former safety spent 10 seasons with Baltimore from 2012 to 2021 and retired as the franchise leader in special teams tackles. In 2023, he was hired by the Titans as a special teams assistant and spent two seasons in Tennessee. Pees joins the Ravens after spending last season as a defensive analyst for the Chicago Bears. Before that, he was a defensive assistant for the Atlanta Falcons and a quality control coach with the Titans. He coached with his father, Dean Pees, in both Tennessee and Atlanta and joins him in Baltimore, where Dean remains on the staff in a consulting role after spending last season as a senior advisor on defense.
