The Ravens are heading into the next phase of their head coaching search, and the shortlist is starting to take shape.
Among those advancing to the second round: Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. According to reports, Weaver is scheduled to meet with the Ravens for a second interview on Tuesday-a sign that Baltimore sees serious potential in the former assistant coach.
Weaver isn’t a stranger to the Ravens organization. He spent three seasons on the Baltimore coaching staff before heading to Miami, where he’s served as the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator for the past two years. His familiarity with the Ravens’ culture and expectations could give him a leg up in the process, especially as the team looks to maintain continuity while ushering in a new era on the sidelines.
But Weaver’s calendar is filling up fast. He’s also expected to interview in person with the Steelers this week, making him one of the more in-demand names on the coaching carousel right now. That kind of attention speaks volumes about how he’s viewed around the league-particularly given the work he’s done with Miami’s defense, which has shown flashes of elite play under his guidance.
Meanwhile, the Ravens continue to cast a wide net. They interviewed Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile on Monday, marking the 16th candidate to sit down with the team during this exhaustive search. With Weaver already lined up for round two, it’s likely that more names will be joining him in the coming days as Baltimore narrows its focus.
This is a pivotal moment for the Ravens. The franchise is clearly committed to a thorough process, and with experienced, rising minds like Weaver and Campanile in the mix, they’re giving themselves every chance to find the right leader for the next chapter.
