Ravens’ Don “Wink” Martindale humbled to get second chance to lead NFL defense — The Baltimore Sun
“If you’re a coach, it hits you right in the heart,” Martindale said at a Thursday news conference at the team’s training facility. “I’ve been preparing for this job all my life and I understand what comes with this job with this great organization. I think it’s one of the great challenges there is in the National Football League.”
Martindale, the Ravens linebackers coach for the past six seasons, was hired to succeed Dean Pees, who retired a day after the conclusion of the team’s 2017 season.
