The Baltimore Ravens and head coach John Harbaugh announced additions to the coaching staff on Monday, with
four new coaches joining the fold in Charm City for 2024.
Head coach John Harbaugh announced on Monday the addition of four new coaches to his staff: Mark DeLeone
(inside linebackers coach), Dennis Johnson (defensive line coach), Doug Mallory (defensive backs coach), and
Travelle Wharton (assistant offensive line coach).
Harbaugh and first-year defensive coordinator Zach Orr had to fill three positions on his staff following his
promotion and the departures of Anthony Weaver (Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator) and Dennard Wilson
(Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator). Mike Devlin, assistant offensive line coach, joined the Los Angeles
Chargers.
Harbaugh made excellent coaching hires last offseason, which contributed significantly to the Ravens’ successful
2023 season.
While Baltimore had key coaching casualties this summer, including Mike Macdonald becoming the head coach of
the Seattle Seahawks, Harbaugh has built another talented staff for 2024.
DeLeone, 36, has 17 years of coaching experience, most recently serving as a defensive analyst for the University of
Kansas for the last two seasons. He previously coached in the NFL for the Detroit Lions (2021), Chicago Bears (2019-
2020), Kansas City Chiefs (2013-2018), and New York Jets (2012).
From 2018 to 2021, he served as the Chiefs, Bears, and Lions’ inside linebackers coach. DeLeone spent two seasons
working with Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith in Chicago, where he helped Smith establish himself in the NFL and
win second-team All-Pro accolades in 2020.
DeLeone, a University of Iowa graduate, began his coaching career as a defensive student assistant for head coach
Kirk Ferentz in 2007. DeLeone’s late father, George, was a football lifer with nearly 50 years of coaching experience
at the collegiate and NFL levels.
