John Harbaugh Praises Ravens for Hiring Jesse Minter

After 18 years as the Baltimore Ravens‘ head coach, John Harbaugh and the team parted ways. A few weeks and 18-plus interviews later, Baltimore hired Jesse Minter as the fourth head coach in franchise history.

In an interview on The Ryan Ripken Show, Harbaugh spoke highly of Minter and said he believes the Ravens made the right choice.

“I’ve known him since he was 10… It’s in his DNA, and you know, and not just that, but he’s smart, he works hard, he’s got great people skills, he’s had success… He’s so ready, I really like the hire… I just, I’m proud of Jesse”
