"Doyle, who at 29 happens to be the same age as star quarterback Lamar Jackson, becomes the youngest offensive playcaller in the NFL. Doyle was an offensive coordinator for one season with the Chicago Bears last year, but head coach Ben Johnson called the plays. This is a bold move by new Ravens coach Jesse Minter, who hired Doyle after interviewing him in Baltimore on Friday. Doyle has never been an offensive playcaller and has only seven years of NFL coaching experience."
"But Doyle is considered one of the top young offensive minds in the league. Doyle helped transform the Bears from the NFL's worst offense in 2024 to the No. 6 one last season. Chicago also averaged 26 points per game in 2025 (which ranked ninth in the league), which was major a improvement from the previous season when the Bears averaged 18.2 points per game (28th)."
"Doyle's challenge will be to get Jackson and the Ravens offense back on track. Last season, Jackson averaged 196.1 yards passing and threw 21 touchdown passes, both of which were his fewest since 2022. When asked Thursday what he wanted in an offensive coordinator, Minter said, "I'm looking for a connector and an innovator, and a scheme builder around the best player in the world." This marks the fourth offensive coordinator for Jackson, who is entering his ninth NFL season."
Declan Doyle, 29, has been hired as the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator and becomes the youngest offensive playcaller in the NFL. Doyle has seven years of NFL coaching experience, including one season as Chicago Bears offensive coordinator, tight ends coach with the Denver Broncos, and offensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints. He helped transform the Bears from the NFL's worst offense in 2024 to sixth in 2025 and helped Chicago average 26 points per game that year, up from 18.2. Doyle must revitalize Lamar Jackson, whose 196.1 passing yards and 21 touchdown passes in 2025 were his fewest since 2022. Jesse Minter sought a connector, innovator and scheme builder to design around Jackson.
