Minter's career developed through college defensive assignments and a four-season run on Baltimore's staff. He later coordinated Michigan's national-championship defense and two Chargers defenses before the Ravens hired him in January 2026.

Legacy & Career Overview

Minter entered coaching at Notre Dame in 2006 and developed through assignments at Cincinnati, Indiana State, and Georgia State. Baltimore gave him his first NFL opportunity in 2017. During four seasons with the Ravens, he worked in defensive quality control and with the secondary while the club consistently ranked among the league's stronger defenses.

After coordinating Vanderbilt's defense in 2021, Minter spent two seasons at Michigan. The 2023 Wolverines led the nation in major defensive categories and completed an undefeated national-championship season. He followed Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers in 2024 and coordinated a unit that led the NFL in scoring defense in his first season.

Baltimore hired Minter in January 2026. The appointment reunited him with the organization where his NFL career began and gave the Ravens a head coach with experience building adaptable coverage structures, developing defensive backs, and coordinating at both the college and professional levels.
