The Ravens hired Joe D’Alessandris as their offensive line coach Thursday, filling the vacancy after the departure of Juan Castillo to the Buffalo Bills.
D’Alessandris enters his 40th season of coaching, including his ninth in the NFL, with the 2017 campaign marking his 38th-overall season guiding an offensive line.
“We had a number of very good, qualified candidates for this position, and we have the right fit with Joe,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s a hard-nosed, experienced coach, who is an excellent teacher. He’ll be able to work with our veterans to get the best out of them, and he’ll take our young linemen to higher levels.
