Michigan hired Josh Gattis away from Alabama to be Jim Harbaugh's offensive coordinator.

In his first year as defensive coordinator of the Ravens, Wink Martindale is looking to learn from his first experience in that job with Denver in 2010 and put his aggressive coaching style to work.

The Ravens linebackers coach for the past six years will succeed Dean Pees.

The Ravens have typically filled the post by promoting a position coach already on staff, and that's still a possibility this time, but they might instead bring back a familiar face from the outside.

After a few days of training camp practice in 2009, there was one skinny rookie in the secondary who repeatedly made plays. Few people noticed him because his speed made him look like a blur.

Around the country, experts seem to like what Maryland coach DJ Durkin accomplished with his 2017 recruiting class.

The Durkins have made six moves since they were married in 2002, and spent no more than five years in the same place. That was at Florida, where both of their children, 6-year-old Abigail and 3-year-old Luke, were born. The Durkins hope their latest move, to Maryland 11 months ago, lasts a lot longer.

At some point this summer, Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees figures to have a better idea of how all the pieces will fit together.

Last Wednesday, Harbaugh and his Michigan coaching staff embarked on a month-long trip that includes 38 camps in 21 states across two countries. Monday, the eighth stop on that journey was in Baltimore.

The Ravens' track record of having at least one undrafted rookie make the roster under coach John Harbaugh was a major factor in Beyer's decision.

One day after losing one of the NFL's best offensive coordinators in Gary Kubiak, the Ravens replaced him with another top one, Marc Trestman, former head coach of the Chicago Bears.

As postseason play nears, the opportunity is there for the Maryland football team to maybe face the Southeastern Conference's defending champion.

Each week during Big Ten play, The Washington Post¿s Roman Stubbs, another Maryland football beat writer and Matt Zenitz of the Baltimore Sun Media Group share their predictions for the Terps' upcoming game.

The approach of Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison evolved through three years of scheming and brainstorming with the likes of John Harbaugh, Dean Pees, Rex Ryan and Chuck Pagano.

Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano hired to coach the Indianapolis Colts

Now that Chuck Pagano is leaving the Ravens after one season as defensive coordinator to become the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Dean Pees and Clarence Brooks are two names to remember in the coming days.

New Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano is the fourth defensive coordinator in the 16-year history of the Baltimore Ravens to leave to become a head coach elsewhere. Here's a quick look at how the first three coordinators fared after leaving Baltimore.

The dress rehearsals are over. Sunday's season opener is the real deal.

Ravens season preview: Exuberant assistant hasn't changed his personality since taking over vaunted Ravens defense.

The Ravens reached a one-year agreement Sunday with five-time Pro Bowl center Andre Gurode, increasing questions about Matt Birk's availability for the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Thanks to three touchdown drives by the first-team offense and a last-minute drive led by Tyrod Taylor, the Ravens overcame a 14-point first-quarter deficit to win their alleged preseason rivalry game against the Redskins, 34-31. Here is what is on my mind after the Ravens won their second straight preseason game.

Baltimore is blessed with a bunch of talented sports bloggers who bring their unique perspective to the conversation. I often link up to these local writers in my morning Coffee Companion posts, but instead of just exchanging anti-social links with them, I have decided to be slightly less anti-social by exchanging emails with them in a somewhat regular feature called Blogger on Blogger.

New Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano has already shown a variety of blitzes during the preseason

Bryan Mattison, the son of former Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison, was a member of the team's practice squad the past two seasons, at times shuffling back and forth from offensive line to defensive line.

I know this one was ugly to watch, but don¿t fret. Not only was it the first preseason game, it was the first preseason game after a lengthy lockout.

While the Eagles made headlines with big-name signings, the Ravens will rely on young players stepping up
