Ravens hire ex-Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier to run secondary in defensive staff shakeup

Ravens coach John Harbaugh made some changes to his defensive staff Friday, adding two new assistants, including a former NFL head coach, and altering the roles of several others.

Leslie Frazier, a former NFL cornerback who was the Minnesota Vikings head coach for parts of four seasons and spent the past two years as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator, was named the Ravens' new secondary coach.

Chris Hewitt, the Ravens defensive backs coach during the 2015 season, will work with Frazier. Matt Weiss, who worked with the cornerbacks this past season, will now coach the linebackers alongside holdover Don Martindale, whose role will expand after he worked primarily with the inside linebackers last year.
