OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens surprisingly hired former Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano as their senior secondary coach Tuesday in an effort to improve their inconsistent pass defense.
Pagano, 64, comes out of a four-year retirement to return to Baltimore, where he served as defensive coordinator in 2011. He will look to help a Ravens defense that allowed 237.4 yards passing per game, which ranked 26th in the NFL.
"Chuck brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and coaching talent to our team," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said in a statement.
