Ravens give Seahawks QB coach Dave Canales second interview for open offensive coordinator spot

The Baltimore Ravens will conduct their second interview with Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Dave Canales for their open offensive coordinator position this week.

After mutually agreeing to part ways with Greg Roman shortly after their playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals earlier in January, Baltimore was one of the first teams to seek a fresh face for the position. Given the organization’s stability and roster talent, this position should be considered a top landing spot for any coach seeking a low-risk-high-reward place on John Harbaugh’s already-established coaching staff.

Canales found success this year under Pete Carroll in Seattle and was an integral part of journeyman quarterback Geno Smith’s rise to stardom as a Seahawk. Under Canales, Smith passed for over 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2022, managing to get Seattle a spot in the NFC playoffs while he was at it.

The Ravens are in desperate need of a coordinator who can make the most of quarterback Lamar Jackson’s talents in 2023, and Canales seems to fit the bill after what he accomplished this season with the Seahawks.
