The Baltimore Ravens named Mike Macdonald their defensive coordinator, head coach John Harbaugh announced Thursday night.
Macdonald, 34, re-joins the Ravens after spending last season as Michigan’s defensive coordinator. Prior to his time with the Wolverines, Macdonald spent seven seasons (2014-20) in Baltimore, serving most recently as the linebackers coach from 2018-20. During his time with the Ravens, he also coached the defensive backs (2017), was a defensive assistant (2015-16) and worked his first year (2014) as a defensive coaching intern.
“Mike is one of us – a Raven through and through,” Harbaugh stated. “During his initial seven seasons with us, it was evident that his leadership, intelligence and passion would earn him the opportunity to be a defensive coordinator in the NFL.
