The Ravens’ head coaching search continues to roll on, and on Monday, they’re set to add another name to what’s become a notably deep candidate pool.
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile is scheduled to interview with Baltimore, marking the 16th candidate to sit down with the team since they parted ways with longtime head coach John Harbaugh earlier this month. That number aligns with what GM Eric DeCosta had previously laid out - a first-round slate of roughly 16 interviews before narrowing the field.
Campanile is a rising figure in coaching circles. He just wrapped up his first season as the Jaguars’ defensive coordinator, a role that put him in the spotlight after previous stints with the Dolphins and Packers. His work this season in Jacksonville helped solidify his reputation as a sharp defensive mind, and he’s already drawn interest elsewhere - he recently interviewed for the Dolphins’ head coaching vacancy as well.
For the Ravens, this interview signals that the initial phase of their coaching search may be nearing its conclusion. With the front office having cast a wide net, the next step will be narrowing down the list to serious contenders. Campanile’s inclusion in that group shows Baltimore is not just chasing big names - they’re doing their homework on up-and-coming talent across the league.
As the Ravens look to reset after the Harbaugh era, every name on their list brings a different flavor of leadership and philosophy. Campanile, with his defensive pedigree and fresh perspective, adds another intriguing wrinkle to that mix.
