The Ravens have announced the addition of several coaches to Head Coach John Harbaugh’s talented staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Baltimore has hired Donald D’Alesio as Defensive Backs Coach, Anthony Levine Sr. as Assistant Special Teams Coach, and Matt Pees as Assistant Linebackers Coach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

D’Alesio spent the past three seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs’ safeties coach, where he helped develop Justin Reid, Bryan Cook, and others that helped anchor the defense of the back-to-back Super Bowl winners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

D’Alesio was a defensive back at Youngstown State before starting his coaching career at his alma mater. He worked his way up to defensive coordinator there before going to LSU for a year and then the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Levine spent the past two seasons coaching for the Tennessee Titans, but now returns “home,” where he played for the Ravens from 2012 to 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

The special teams “Co-Cap” launched his coaching career with the Ravens in 2022 and now returns to work with Special Teams Coordinator Chris Horton and the rest of the staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pees was a defensive analyst last season for the Chicago Bears, spent the previous three seasons as a defensive assistant coach for the Atlanta Falcons, and previously as a quality control coach with the Tennessee Titans. He coached with his father, Dean Pees, in Tennessee and Atlanta and will do so again in Baltimore, as Dean remains on the staff in a consulting role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Matt Robinson is now the Ravens’ Outside Linebackers Coach, working alongside Pass Rush Coach Chuck Smith. Kevin Hartman was hired as a full-time Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Willie Taggart has added Assistant Head Coach responsibilities alongside his role as the running backs coach. Taggart was a longtime head coach (2010-2022) at Western Kentucky, South Florida, Oregon, Florida State, and Florida Atlantic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Ravens previously announced the additions of Chuck Pagano, who will serve as a Sr. Defensive Assistant\/Secondary Coach, and Inside Linebackers Coach Tyler Santucci.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
