ExtremeRavens Posted Saturday at 09:30 PM Posted Saturday at 09:30 PM The Ravens’ season isn’t over yet, but the team’s coaching staff is already changing. Georgia Tech is finalizing a deal to make Ravens tight ends coach George Godsey the school’s new offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports Saturday, first by ESPN. Godsey, 47, is a graduate of Georgia Tech, where he played quarterback from 1998 to 2001 under coach George O’Leary and was teammates with current Yellow Jackets coach Brent Key. Godsey, the program’s record-holder for single-season passing yards (3,085), is set to replace Buster Faulkner, who left to take the same job at Florida under new coach Jon Sumrall last month.

Godsey, the program’s record holder for single-season passing yards (3,085), is set to replace Buster Faulkner, who left to take the same job at Florida under new coach Jon Sumrall last month. A North Carolina native, Godsey began his coaching career as an assistant at Central Florida from 2004 to 2010 before jumping to the NFL with the New England Patriots, Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins and Ravens from 2011 to 2025. He was the offensive coordinator with the Texans during the 2015 and 2016 seasons, calling plays under coach Bill O’Brien as Houston won back-to-back AFC South titles. Godsey served as co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach with the Dolphins under coach Brian Flores in 2021 before being hired by the Ravens in March 2022. He interviewed for the Ravens’ offensive coordinator position to replace Greg Roman at the end of the 2022 season, a job that eventually went to then-Georgia assistant Todd Monken. In Godsey’s three seasons in Baltimore, the Ravens’ tight ends have been among the most productive groups in the league led by three-time Pro Bowl selection Mark Andrews and fourth-year pro Isaiah Likely. Andrews recently agreed to a three-year contract extension through 2028 worth $39.3 million with $26 million guaranteed, while Likely and 2022 fourth-round draft pick Charlie Kolar are set to become free agents at the end of the season. Godsey also helps oversee six-time Pro Bowl fullback Patrick Ricard. The Ravens enter a de facto AFC North championship game Sunday night against the host Pittsburgh Steelers, with the winner clinching a playoff berth and a home game as the No. 4 seed while the loser is eliminated from postseason contention.
