Ravens interview 49ers’ Robert Saleh and Bills’ Joe Brady for their coaching vacancy

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens have interviewed San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady for their head coaching vacancy.

The 49ers and Bills were both eliminated from the playoffs Saturday.

Saleh, in his second stint running the 49ers’ defense, spent three-plus years as coach of the New York Jets before being fired last season.

Brady has not been a head coach, but has been a coordinator for the Bills and Carolina Panthers.

The Ravens have also interviewed Mike McDaniel, Anthony Weaver, Jesse Minter, Jim Schwartz, Brian Flores, Kliff Kingsbury, Matt Nagy, Vance Joseph, Davis Webb, Klint Kubiak, Chris Shula and Nathan Scheelhaase. Kevin Stefanski interviewed, but he has since been hired by the Atlanta Falcons.

The Ravens fired coach John Harbaugh earlier this month after 18 seasons in charge. Harbaugh and the Giants agreed to terms on Saturday for him to become New York’s coach after the franchise quickly made him its top candidate.

Ravens hire Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as head coach

Before they even began the process of interviewing more than a dozen people for their coaching vacancy, the Baltimore Ravens knew plenty about Jesse Minter. Now he has the job. The Ravens hired the 42-year-old Minter on Thursday, just over two weeks after they fired longtime coach John Harbaugh. Minter is a familiar face, part of both Harbaugh's coaching tree and his brother Jim's. Minter's first four seasons (2017-20) as an NFL assistant were with the Ravens, and he spent the past two years as defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers. “Jesse was impressive throughout our incredibly thorough interview process,” owner Steve Bisciotti said in a statement. “He clearly understands the values, high expectations and history of the Ravens, and he has a great vision for the future.”
