Former Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg has been demoted from the same job in Baltimore.

The Ravens have promoted Greg Roman from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec. Mornhinweg has been asked to remain with the staff in another role, Zrebiec reports.

The Ravens are making a change at offensive coordinator. Greg Roman will be the offensive coordinator going forward as part of a potential re-organization of the Ravens' offensive coaching staff. John Harbaugh confirmed the change.

There could be other changes on the offensive staff as well. Running back coach Thomas Hammock is reportedly a top candidate for the head coaching job at Northern Illinois, his alma mater. Mornhinweg has been asked to remain a part of the staff in a different role.

Mornhinweg guided rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson through his first NFL season. Jackson, who was selected with the Eagles' original 32nd overall pick, led the Ravens to the playoffs. He completed 99 of 170 passing attempts for 1,201 passing yards, six passing touchdowns and three interceptions as a passer. The majority of his success came on the ground, as he rushed for 695 yards and five touchdowns on 147 carries.

The Eagles were able to land tight end Dallas Goedert and defensive back Avonte Maddox by trading their first-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens earlier this year.


Mornhinweg’s unit finished second in the league in rushing offense, averaging 152.6 rushing yards per game. However, the group ranked 22nd overall in passing offense. Still the offense overall was ranked ninth-best in the league upon the conclusion of the season.

Mornhinweg has been with the Ravens since 2015. He started his tenure as quarterbacks coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2016. Prior to his arrival in Baltimore, he spent two seasons as the New York Jets offensive coordinator.


Mornhinweg spent 10 seasons with the Eagles during the Andy Reid era (2003-2012). The play-caller served in several roles, including offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. He was the assistant head coach during Reid’s lone trip to the Super Bowl. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was also on that staff.

QB coach is about right for him

Roman was the OC when Kaepernick became QB under JOhn's brother Jim. Sounds like they want to recreate some of that offense

Interesting info Rob. I remember that your daughter went to Louisville and you saw Lamar play quite often. I can see where he would cause defenses problems but I just don't like the idea of athletic qbs trying to carry the offense. If they do go that route (and it certainly appears they will) they had better draft a few more like him because he's not going to last the season. I know that Russell does but that's a whole different offense. Russell is amazing and gets my vote as the best QB in the NFL.

i have seen Jackson play more times than I can count. I will give you this. His throwing needs work. But i watched from his freshman through junior year. He got better. He keeps working. I dont think he can last with that offense they ran last year either 60. But he wil work to get better. He is not Randall as a young QB. Or Vick. He is a true team guy. He will work to get better
