Ravens Name Former Michigan DC Mike Macdonald As New Defensive Coordinator

Like the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens will have a new defensive coordinator in 2022. The Ravens, who parted ways with defensive Don Martindale earlier this month,
announced late on Thursday that they have hired former Michigan defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to succeed Martindale.

Macdonald, who had never been a coordinator at any level before last season with Michigan, spent seven seasons (2014-20) as part of the Ravens coaching staff serving as a defensive assistant, defensive backs coach and linebackers coach in Baltimore under head coach John Harbaugh.

When Macdonald left the Ravens for Michigan, he went to coach under Jim Harbaugh after his brother recommended him for the job.
