Anthony Weaver has found the next stop in his coaching career. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he’s joining Jesse Minter’s inaugural staff in Baltimore as the Ravens new defensive coordinator.

“Sources: Ravens are expected to hire Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver as their defensive coordinator,” Schefter posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Weaver worked for the Ravens from 2021-‘23, in assorted roles including assistant head coach.”

Weaver was up for multiple head coaching gigs and other defensive coordinator vacancies, making his hire by the Ravens a major boon for the team. His experience and football prowess should be invaluable to the first-year head coach in Baltimore in Minter.

Like Weaver, Minter was on the Ravens’ staff previously, starting out as a defensive assistant and becoming defensive backs coach in 2020. In 2021, he became the defensive coordinator at  Vanderbilt  and took the same role at  Michigan  under  Jim Harbaugh  from 2022-23.

When Harbaugh left for the NFL, Minter joined him as defensive coordinator. Now, he will return to Baltimore to replace John Harbaugh after his departure after the regular season.

“I am truly honored to serve as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens,” Minter said in a statement. “This is an organization whose values, culture and tradition of excellence reflect everything I believe about the game of football and how it should be played.”
