The Ravens continue to experience coaching staff turnovers, losing defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to the Seattle Seahawks late last month. The Tennessee Titans also poached defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson to fill their vacant defensive coordinator position. Meanwhile, former defensive line coach Anthony Weaver will call the defense in Miami next season.
Jerry Rosburg: Former Special Teams Coordinator
Rosburg played linebacker at North Dakota State before quickly transitioning to coaching in 1979. He started as an assistant coach at Stanley High School in Fargo, North Dakota, before becoming a graduate assistant at Northern Michigan in 1981. Rosburg spent six seasons with the DII program before moving to Western Michigan and becoming the linebackers’ coach. Rosburg left for the Cincinnati Bearcats in 1992 under the same job title, where he spent four seasons. The Minnesota native returned home in 1996, joining the University of Minnesota as the secondary coach.
After a short one-year stint with his hometown college, Rosburg spent two years at Boston College before landing his first special teams coordinator job with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After a trip to the Fiesta Bowl, Rosburg parlayed his success in becoming the special teams coordinator for the Cleveland Browns from 2001 to 2006. Future All-Pro Josh Cribbs returned 106 kickoffs for 2,588 yards and two touchdowns under Rosburg. He left Cleveland for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007, where he spent one season. The Baltimore Ravens hired Rosburg in 2008 as the special teams coordinator.
He spent 11 years in Baltimore, helping the team win the Super Bowl for the 2012 season. Rosburg helped bring in rookie free agent Justin Tucker, who now holds numerous NFL placekicking records. The 68-year-old retired after the 2018 season but returned to coaching in 2022 with the Denver Broncos as a senior assistant. He became the interim head coach that same season after the firing of Nathaniel Hackett, compiling a 1-1 record.

The details of Jerry Rosburg’s exact role with the Baltimore Ravens remain unknown, but he will likely help head coach John Harbaugh with game responsibilities. The Ravens posted an NFL-best 13-4 record this season while scoring 28.4 points per game, the fourth-best mark in the NFL. However, the defense shined brightest, allowing an NFL-low 16.5 points per game. Linebacker Roquan Smith and safety Kyle Hamilton each made first-team All-Pro and the Pro Bowl. Meanwhile, fellow defenders Patrick Queen and Justin Madubuike also made the Pro Bowl.
The Ravens will look for another stellar season from quarterback Lamar Jackson. Although not a league leader in any category, Jackson’s 29 touchdowns to 13 turnovers had positioned him atop the MVP odds. Unfortunately for Ravens fans, he struggled mightily in their playoff loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. he went just 20-of-37 for 272 yards and a score with a pick. He also fumbled.
