The Baltimore Ravens have made a bold move to shape the future of their offense, naming Declan Doyle as their new offensive coordinator. It’s a significant hire-one that signals Baltimore’s commitment to maximizing the prime years of Lamar Jackson and turning regular-season dominance into postseason success.
Doyle may not be a household name just yet, but he’s been steadily climbing the coaching ladder. Most recently, he was part of the Chicago Bears’ staff under Ben Johnson, serving as offensive coordinator in title, though Johnson handled the play-calling duties. Still, being trusted with that role on a playoff-caliber team says a lot about how Doyle is viewed in coaching circles.
Before that, Doyle spent two seasons as the tight ends coach in Denver, where he worked hands-on with a young offensive core. But his most formative stop might’ve been New Orleans, where he served as an offensive assistant from 2019 to 2022.
During that four-year stretch, the Saints went 41-25, claimed two NFC South titles, and sent eight different players to a combined 12 Pro Bowls. That’s not just résumé filler-that’s the kind of experience that shapes a coach’s understanding of how to build and sustain high-level offensive football.
Now, he steps into a high-stakes situation in Baltimore. The Ravens are fresh off another season of strong regular-season play, but the expectations are clear: it’s Super Bowl or bust. And Doyle will be at the center of it, tasked with crafting a scheme that unlocks the full potential of one of the league’s most dynamic quarterbacks.
Lamar Jackson, the two-time MVP, is already a proven game-changer. But the Ravens want more than highlight-reel runs and regular-season wins-they want a ring.
Surrounding Jackson is a deep and talented supporting cast. Tight end Mark Andrews remains a top-tier target, and the receiving corps is loaded with upside: Zay Flowers brings Pro Bowl talent, Rashod Bateman is still looking to break out, and rookie Devontez Walker adds another layer of explosiveness.
In the backfield, they’ve got an NFL rushing champ ready to keep defenses honest.
Doyle’s challenge will be blending all that talent into a cohesive, unpredictable, and playoff-ready attack. He’s got the tools. Now it’s about putting the pieces together in a way that elevates Baltimore from contender to champion.
This hire isn’t just about X’s and O’s-it’s about vision. The Ravens believe Doyle can be the architect of the offense that finally gets Lamar Jackson and this franchise over the hump. Time will tell, but this is a move that could define the next chapter of Baltimore football.
