Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said there are clear similarities between the way the Ravens operate internally and what he experienced with the Los Angeles Chargers, pointing specifically to general manager Joe Hortiz’s time in Baltimore under Eric DeCosta.
Minter credited that shared background as a reason both organizations feel structurally familiar, even with different personnel.
“Yes, just the way you operate, I think [Chargers general manager] Joe [Hortiz] obviously was very well trained to take the job that he took and did a great job. He was great to work with for a couple years, but he learned how he did things here with [executive vice president and general manager] Eric [DeCosta], [executive vice president] Ozzie [Newsome], and all the people that he had a chance to work with in his time here. So, I think the process of how we operated was similar. And then obviously the individuals are their own people in their own way. So yes, I definitely think he learned a lot from Eric and the people here.”
Minter’s comments underscore how Baltimore’s front-office model has continued to influence personnel structures across the league, with former staff members now running other organizations.
