The Ravens will add another head coaching candidate to the list on Monday.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile will interview with the team. He is the 16th candidate to meet with the team since they fired John Harbaugh earlier this month.
Campanile has also interviewed for the Dolphins’ head coaching job. He just completed his first season running the defense in Jacksonville and has also worked for the Packers and Dolphins during his time as an NFL assistant.
Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta said he expected to meet with around 16 coaches in the team’s first round of interviews, so the search process may be moving into its next stage in the near future.
49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is set to meet with the Titans in-person on Monday and that’s not the only head coaching search he’s involved in at the moment.
The Ravens announced that they have completed an interview with Saleh on Sunday. Saleh’s meeting with the team came after the 49ers’ season ended with a Saturday night loss to the Seahawks in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady also interviewed with the Ravens on Sunday. Saleh and Brady join Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula, Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, former Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, and Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Seahawks offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, and Broncos quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator Davis Webb as candidates in Baltimore.
Kevin Stefanski also interviewed with the Ravens before being hired by the Falcons and some of the others on that list could land jobs elsewhere as the Ravens move toward their own decision.
The Ravens completed an interview with Joe Brady for their head coaching position on Sunday, the team announced.
The Bills’ offensive coordinator also has an interview with the Falcons on Sunday. Those are the first two reported interviews for Brady this cycle, though he interviewed with the Saints in 2024.
Brady joined the Bills as their quarterbacks coach in 2022 and moved up to the coordinator job after Ken Dorsey was fired during the 2023 season. He was previously the offensive coordinator for the Panthers and was the passing game coordinator for LSU when the Tigers won the national title in the 2019 season.
He began his NFL career as an offensive assistant with the Saints in 2017-18.
So, Brady, 36, has worked with Drew Brees, Joe Burrow, Sam Darnold, Teddy Bridgewater and Josh Allen in his career.
Reports last week indicated that Todd Monken is a top candidate to follow John Harbaugh to the Giants and serve as the team’s offensive coordinator, but that’s not the only job possibility for Monken.
Monken interviewed for the Browns’ head coaching vacancy and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that he is scheduled for a second, in-person interview with Cleveland on Tuesday. Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz is also scheduled for a second interview with the team.
Monken worked as Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator in Baltimore the last three seasons. He has never been an NFL head coach, but he went 13-25 over three seasons as the head coach at Southern Miss.
The Buccaneers also interviewed Monken for their offensive coordinator vacancy this month.
It took longer than expected to dot the i’s and cross the t’s, but the Giants have their man. The Giants made the hiring of John Harbaugh official with an announcement on Saturday afternoon. He becomes the 21st coach in franchise history.
“We are proud to name John Harbaugh as the next head coach of the New York Giants,” team president John Mara said in a statement. “Joe Schoen presented us an outstanding group of candidates, which allowed us to be deliberate and confident in this decision. Through numerous conversations, John consistently stood out for his conviction and vision for leading a winning organization, and we welcome him and his family to the Giants.”
Harbaugh, 63, was head coach for 180 of Baltimore’s 276 regular-season wins in franchise history. Those victories led to 12 playoff berths in 18 seasons, including six division titles, four AFC Championship Game appearances and a Super Bowl XLVII victory.
Harbaugh’s 13 postseason victories are tied for seventh in league history and second only to Andy Reid among active head coaches.
“John is a proven winner whose teams are disciplined, resilient, and prepared,” Giants chairman Steve Tisch said in a statement. “His passion for the game, his ability to connect with players, and his experience leading at the highest level made him an outstanding fit for us, and we’re excited to move forward together.”
Harbaugh owns the most road playoff wins (eight) by a head coach in NFL history. Tom Coughlin, who led the Giants to two Super Bowl championships, and Tom Landry are second with seven each. Harbaugh is the only head coach to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons.
“Throughout our conversations, John stood out for his clarity, competitiveness and approach for building a sustainable winning program,” General Manager Joe Schoen said in a statement. “He has a strong track record of developing players, building cohesive staffs, and setting a clear standard of accountability. We are excited to work with John in moving this team in the right direction.”
Harbaugh will report directly to ownership, which might have been part of the holdup in the “language” the sides haggled over for a couple of days. Nonetheless, Harbaugh now is the head coach of the Giants.
“I want to thank John Mara, Steve Tisch, Chris Mara, and Joe Schoen for the opportunity to lead the New York Giants,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “To serve as this franchise’s head coach is a tremendous honor. I come from a football family, and I have deep respect for the history and tradition of this organization.
“I’m excited to begin assembling our staff and getting to work building our team. I would like to sincerely thank Steve Bisciotti and the Baltimore Ravens organization for 18 remarkable years, including the opportunity to become a head coach in the National Football League.
“My family and I are grateful for the welcome we’ve already felt, and we look forward to becoming part of the Giants family.”
