After hiring Jesse Minter, the Baltimore Ravens have been building a stout coaching staff to surround the 42-year-old as he leads them into a new era. There’s an intriguing blend of up-and-coming coaches and some longer tenured coaches who can lead by example.
The connections are there, too. One of the most important aspects of building a staff under a first-year head coach is making sure they mesh together smoothly. Baltimore’s new coaches come from a variety of walks of life, but many have either worked together or for similar teams before their arrival in Charm City.
The team’s most recent hire has long been a fan-favorite: Anthony Levine. Baltimore retained Levine, announcing that he would be promoted to the special teams coordinator on Tuesday evening, replacing Chris Horton, who departed for the New York Giants. The 38-year-old undoubtedly deserved this role in 2026.
From Co-Cap to Coordinator!

Ravens fans will be happy to see Levine back. After being rostered by the Green Bay Packers for two years, the former safety spent 10 years in the purple and black from 2012 to 2021.
Although Levine was never a go-to contributor on the defensive side, it was the work he did on special teams that made him a standout talent. He provided elite play on special teams and also won a ring in his rookie year during that storybook 2012 run.
Now, Levine will continue to make his mark as a coach in Baltimore.
Ravens retain Anthony Levine to join Jesse Minter’s coaching staff
After retiring following the 2021 campaign, Levine joined Baltimore’s coaching staff as a player personnel and coaching assistant. Then, after a two-year stint with the Tennessee Titans (2023-2024) as their assistant special teams coach, Levine came back to the Ravens. He took over as the assistant special teams coach in 2025.
While Levine was obviously a John Harbaugh guy, he has a strong relationship with Jesse Minter. He was directly coached by Minter from 2017 to 2020, years in which Minter occupied three different roles: defensive assistant, assistant defensive backs coach, and defensive backs coach. Despite the Harbaugh firing, Levine’s experience under Minter as a player made it an easy choice to choose him to fill the special teams coordinator vacancy.
This is the place where Levine is meant to be. During his career, he was a reliable veteran and leader, and that leadership should translate well in a larger coaching role.
With this move, Levine takes another step up the coaching ladder and continues to carve out a fine career as a Raven. He knows what it means to play like a Raven, and hopefully, he can further establish that mindset next season.
