Baltimore Beat Down · Dec 31, 2017
Will Don ‘Wink’ Martindale be the next defensive coordinator for the Ravens?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees plans to retire following this season. This move is not a total shock as it has been rumored throughout the season.
However, many will point to other outside coaches as potential replacements. Sure, Chuck Pagano and Marvin Lewis sound great, in theory, but how realistic are they?
In 2015, Chuck Pagano was on record stating that the Colts job is his “last job”, per Pro Football Talk. Marvin Lewis returning to Baltimore is a great storyline, but are the Ravens willing to switch to a 4-3 base defense? Does Baltimore have the personnel to make that switch?
