Ravens Insider: Ravens hiring Bears’ Declan Doyle, 29, as offensive coordinator

[ExtremeRavens]

New Ravens coach Jesse Minter is hiring Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to be Baltimore’s offensive coordinator, a source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Baltimore Sun.

Doyle replaces Todd Monken, whom previous coach John Harbaugh had hired in 2023 and is now the coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Next to Minter, the position is perhaps the most important — and scrutinized — on the coaching staff. Doyle will also have plenty of talent to work with, from quarterback and two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson to running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver Zay Flowers, both of whom were Pro Bowl selections in 2025, among others.

Doyle, 29, is viewed as another rising young assistant in NFL circles. He’s the youngest offensive coordinator in the league.

Though he was the Bears’ offensive coordinator this past season, he did not call the plays under first-year coach Ben Johnson.

Doyle helped transform quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears into a potent offense after spending two years as the Denver Broncos’ tight end coach. Before that, he spent four years as an offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints under Sean Payton.

In replacing Monken, he’ll also look to revive an offense that was at times historically great.

In 2024, the Ravens became the first team to pass for at least 4,000 yards and rush for 3,000 in the same season. Their 424.9 yards per game were tops in the league and their 30.5 points per game ranked third that year.

But the offense took a step back in 2025 while Jackson missed four games because of injuries.

Though Baltimore was second in the league in rushing, the Ravens ranked 15th in yards (332.2) and 10th in scoring (24.9). They also were one of the worst teams at scoring touchdowns from the red zone after leading the league in 2024.

Now it will be up to Doyle to turn that around.
