On Friday, the Baltimore Ravens hired their new offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Doyle, who at 29 happens to be the same age as star quarterback Lamar Jackson, becomes the youngest offensive playcaller in the NFL. Doyle was an offensive coordinator for one season with the Chicago Bears last year, but head coach Ben Johnson called the plays.
This is a bold move by new Ravens coach Jesse Minter, who hired Doyle after interviewing him in Baltimore on Friday. Doyle has never been an offensive playcaller and has only seven years of NFL coaching experience.
But Doyle is considered one of the top young offensive minds in the league. Doyle helped transform the Bears from the NFL’s worst offense in 2024 to the No. 6 one last season. Chicago also averaged 26 points per game in 2025 (which ranked ninth in the league), which was major a improvement from the previous season when the Bears averaged 18.2 points per game (28th).
