  • The Ravens Now Have to Face Todd Monken Twice a Year

    In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we react to a shocking development in the AFC North as former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken is named head coach of the Cleveland Browns — meaning the Ravens will now face him twice every season.

    We break down what this move means for Baltimore, how Monken knows this Ravens roster better than anyone, and how the AFC North power dynamics may be shifting. We also dive into the league-wide coaching shakeup, including which offensive coordinator candidates the Ravens are interviewing and which names are still available.

    Plus, we take a closer look at the Ravens' evolving coaching staff:

    • Dwayne Ledford joining as offensive line coach and run game coordinator
    • The decision to keep Tyler Santucci on the defensive staff
    • A full breakdown of where the Ravens coaching staff stands right now

    A lot is happening in Baltimore — and around the division — and it could have major implications for the Ravens moving forward.

  • The Ravens' Coaching Staff Is Taking Shape — What the Early Moves Tell Us

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the Baltimore Ravens hiring Mike Mickens as their new defensive backs coach and why this move matters. We dive into Mickens' background at Notre Dame and his strong connection with new head coach Jesse Minter, and how this could shape the Ravens' secondary moving forward.

    We also discuss the Ravens interviewing Joe Cullen for their vacant defensive coordinator position and what that signals about the direction of the defense. Plus, we take a look at the remaining offensive coordinator options and why clarity on the full coaching staff could be coming very soon.

    We get into more staff members heading to New York to join John Harbaugh, why it's notable that Dennard Wilsonwas chosen over Zach Orr as DC, and what that decision could mean long-term.

    To wrap things up, we congratulate Mike Macdonald on reaching the Super Bowl and share his high praise for Jesse Minter — a strong endorsement as Baltimore turns the page and builds its next era.

  • Why the Ravens Moved So Fast for Jesse Minter

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the Baltimore Ravens officially hiring Jesse Minter as their next head coach and why this move signals that defense is officially back in Baltimore.

    We dive into how the league is reacting to the hire, why the Ravens moved quickly with other teams circling, and what Minter's arrival says about the organization's direction. We also explore the biggest question still looming — who will be the Ravens' offensive coordinator — and what options make the most sense moving forward.

    Plus, we cover key coaching movement around the NFL and react to Tee Martin addressing his uncertain future as he waits to hear what's next in Baltimore.

  • Inside the Ravens Coaching Search: Minter, Weaver & What's Next

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the latest movement in the Baltimore Ravens head coaching search as the team conducts an in-person interview with Jesse Minter today.

    We discuss whether the Ravens should make an immediate offer or stay patient and wait to interview additional candidates who are still coaching this weekend in the playoffs — and why patience may be the real strategy here.

    We also react to Diana Russini's report that Anthony Weaver remains firmly in the mix, plus new insight that Lamar Jackson and several players have interest in Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator.

    On top of that, we cover major league-wide coaching news, including:

    • Mike McDaniel heading to the Chargers as offensive coordinator
    • Brian Flores signing an extension to remain with the Vikings
    • The Ravens blocking lateral moves for remaining staff members

    All signs point to the Ravens being calculated, intentional, and very aware of who they're waiting on. Let's break it all down.

  • The Ravens Coaching Search Is Tightening

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the latest update in the Baltimore Ravens head coaching search as the team officially begins its second round of interviews, starting with Anthony Weaver.

    The Ravens completed interviews with 16 candidates in the first round and are now narrowing the list as the process becomes more focused and deliberate. We discuss what Weaver's second interview signals, which candidates are gaining real traction, and how playoff schedules are impacting who the Ravens can speak with right now — and who they'll have to wait on.

    We also take a look at other coaching vacancies around the league, including the Buffalo Bills, and how movement elsewhere could influence Baltimore's timeline and options.

    I walk through my current top head coaching candidates, explain what traits matter most for this next era of Ravens football, and why — despite the uncertainty — I'm choosing to trust the Ravens to get this hire right.

  • Ravens Coaching Search Update: Every Interview, Standout Candidates & What's Next

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the full list of head coach candidates the Ravens have interviewed so far — and the additional interviews scheduled for this week. Baltimore is casting a wide net, lining up roughly 14–15 candidates across a two-week stretch, which tells you just how serious this reset really is.

    We dive into which names stand out, what each candidate brings to the table, and why two specific interviews this week are especially intriguing when viewed together.

    We also address a weekend report claiming owner Steve Bisciotti fired John Harbaugh over the phone after leaving the facility — a detail that adds even more weight to this moment. With Bisciotti set to speak publicly for the first time in years, all eyes are on his press conference as he looks to explain the decision, reset the narrative, and outline where the Ravens are headed next.
