Urban

The team also interviewed tight ends coach George Godsey for the OC opening. Baltimore last week parted ways with Greg Roman after four years at the helm of the offense. That John Harbaugh is considered Urban could mean the team intends on doing what it takes to keep Lamar Jackson on the roster in 2023 and beyond. Jackson’s future with the team remains unclear. His departure would likely require an all-out offensive restructuring. Urban, a former receivers coach for the Bengals, has been Baltimore’s QB coach since 2017.

Urban began his career working under Andy Reid and has done a fine job with Lamar Jackson over the last two seasons from afar. Urban drew interest from the Eagles last year, so his name has been thrown around now in back-to-back seasons. There doesn’t appear to be a direct link from Urban to new Lions head coach Dan Campbell.

Lamar Jackson’s QBs coach the past two seasons, Urban spent years under Andy Reid in Philadelphia. He coached the Bengals wide receivers from 2011-17. Coach Doug Pederson will continue to call his own plays, but it would be a nice promotion for the 46-year-old Urban.
