Former Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has come out of retirement to rejoin the Baltimore Ravens’ coaching staff.
The Ravens announced Tuesday that Pagano, who retired in January 2021, is their new senior secondary coach.
“It is exciting to add Coach Chuck Pagano to our defensive staff and continue to develop and grow our young and talented secondary,” head coach John Harbaugh said in a statement. “Chuck brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and coaching talent to our team. He has deep ties to the program and is excited to get to work.”
Pagano, 64, previously worked with the Ravens as the secondary coach (2008-10) and defensive coordinator (2011) before becoming head coach of the Colts in 2012. Baltimore ranked No. 3 in both yards and points allowed in 2011.
He won 11 games in each of his first three seasons in Indianapolis and compiled a 53-43 record with three playoff appearances before being fired after a 4-12 campaign in 2017.
Pagano served as the defensive coordinator the Chicago Bears under head coach Matt Nagy from 2019-20 before announcing his retirement on Jan. 13, 2021, saying he wanted to spend more time with family.
He’ll be tasked with improving a Baltimore defense that ranked 31st in the NFL against the pass in 2024, allowing 244.1 yards per game.
