ExtremeRavens Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago We asked readers their confidence level in new Ravens coach Jesse Minter. The former Chargers defensive coordinator will be a first-time NFL head coach in 2026. Here are the results from our online poll: Very high — 36.9% (188 votes) High — 36.9% (188 votes) Somewhat high — 18.2% (55 votes) Low — 5% (15 votes) Very low — 3% (9 votes) Here’s what some fans have said about their confidence level in Baltimore’s new coach (answers have been edited for clarity and grammar): He’ll only be as good as the team general manager Eric DeCosta provides him with. — Robert Moore I think fans will have to be patient with Jesse Minter as he, his coordinators, and coaches will have to grow into their positions. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, in particular, will have to fast track his development as he will call plays for an offense and quarterback with the most unique skill set in the league. But it helps that Minter and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver have a history, and a good one, with the organization. I am very confident Minter will consistently lead the Ravens into the playoffs. — Fran V. This looks like a very good hire by the Ravens’ organization. With that said, unless management and ownership get Lamar Jackson back in line, it won’t matter who the head coach of this team is no matter what John Harbaugh, DeCosta and even the owner has stated in the past, Lamar Jackson is a cancer in this locker room. Now even Minter is saying the right things by indicating that relationships take time to develop. This organization has a major problem with Lamar that everybody keeps avoiding and it better be dealt with urgency or Minter doesn’t have a chance. Harbaugh couldn’t be any happier that he got fired and away from this inner turmoil. — Bob Lancione It could not get higher! It’s the job he always dreamed of! He’s brilliant and a great listener and will and has proven himself over and over again. — Penny O’Connell Same as I had with Harbaugh, none. — Phil Hartman Confidence level is high. He has a vision, a plan I can see and is hiring staff strategically. — Peter Davis Great. He’s building a superior coaching staff. The Ravens are the only team in the AFC North that’s ready to move into the future. The Steelers went with an old school coach; no new wrinkles there. The Browns took the Ravens scraps; already been figured out and the Bengals stood still. I believe the Ravens will be the team to beat. — Jeff King Optimism? High. Confidence? Er … he’s a newbie HC who by all accounts is ready. I’m sure there will be a learning curve. — Will Hicklen ANYTHING IS AN IMPROVEMENT! — Scott Frank Pity is my thought. … He has been left with a mess. … Taking back power from Lamar won’t be easy and will take a long time before he can actually do his job. — Barbara Woolard I don’t predict the NFL anymore. When the season started, the Ravens were the favorites, and now the Super Bowl is between New England and Seattle. Never saw that happening. — Kwaku Elliott Bennett The Ravens are going to be horrible for the next couple of years. — Frank Vincent I like the direction we’re going. It was time for a change. — Stephan Daskal Very high. — Chip Rosenberg The Baltimore Sun reader poll is an unscientific survey in which website users volunteer their opinions on the subject of the poll.
