Chris Hewitt for DC Anyone?: Current Secondary Coach of the Ravens

Christopher Horace Hewitt (born July 22, 1974) is a former National Football League defensive back who is currently the secondary coach of the Baltimore Ravens. Hewitt played professionally for three seasons with the New Orleans Saints. After eight seasons on the coaching staff of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team, Hewitt was the special teams coach for the Baltimore Ravens and was the assistant secondary coach for the 2014 season.

Hewitt was born in Kingston, Jamaica and grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, where he attended Dwight Morrow High School. He played for the Cincinnati Bearcats football team at the collegiate level. Hewitt's 31.50 kickoff return average in the 1993 season ranks second on the all-time rankings for the Cincinnati Bearcats, while his 742 career kickoff return yards rank ninth and his 28.54 career yards per kickoff returns place him first on the school's rankings.

Hewitt played as a defensive back and on special teams for the New Orleans Saints in 1997, starting two games and finishing the season with 12 tackles and a fumble recovery as a defensive back. In 1998, he again started two games and had 9 tackles and two sacks. In his third and final season with the Saints, Hewitt was limited to one tackle and a sack.

He joined the coaching staff at Rutgers under Greg Schiano, where he spent eight years, including as running backs coach and defensive backs coach. As part of the NFL's Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, Hewitt worked on the staffs of the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles, as well as the Ravens, who hired him in February 2012 as the team's assistant special teams coach. Hewitt was brought into the Ravens by head coach John Harbaugh, who had been Hewitt's special teams coach when he was playing at the age of 17 as a freshman at the University of Cincinnati. Hewitt was part of the Ravens coaching staff for the Raven's victory at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, which was played in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where Hewitt played in the NFL with the Saints.

A seventh-year coach for the Ravens, Hewitt has been the secondary coach for arguably the NFL’s top passing defense in the league for the last two years. Previously serving as their defensive backs coach, Hewitt has helped turn the Ravens secondary into a ball-hawking, stifling group.

Running a multitude of coverage shells, Hewitt’s attacking, aggressive style with a secondary group lacking top-end talent has been able to keep offenses on their toes and support a blitz-heavy front.

Likely running an aggressive, shifting defense, Hewitt would be a bold hire. Reid would certainly be counting on his ability to install a complex scheme and maximize personnel as a defensive coordinator. If that risk ended up paying off, there is high-end potential for a Hewitt-led stop unit.

I threw his name out on Monday. I think he'd be a great hire.

He'll be a DC soon whether it's us or someone else.

Within 3 seasons we'll be looking at Spagnuolo and wondering why we didn't get this guy instead.

We're not going to hire him and hell, maybe he'll implode in spectacular fashion. But this is the kind of guy we should be targeting and not established mediocrity (at best) like Spagnuolo.

Probably biggest strike against him is that he's not buddies with Andy.

I researched him before the playoffs started and his journey up the ranks has been good. I have no doubt he will get a DC job soon, whether Andy would trust a young guy at this juncture remains to be seen.

Against all odds, I'm hoping you're wrong.

Many posters here have mentioned him and he would be exciting.

Also, probably wont happen for many reasons.

We dont have time for an unproven DC to find his sea legs, we are win now.
Andy has nothing to do with that side of the ball. Not any help for a brand new DC.
Andy needs a guy who can be a HC for the D.

He is very intriguing. The only issue I have with him is mainly concerning Reid's hands off approach to defense. Hewitt from what I am aware of has no play calling or game planning experience at any level. I see that as possible liability for a young new coordinator with Andy.

I think he could be a good DC but Andy doesn't want to babysit a brand new DC and also the Ravens can deny interviewing him.


I think it is shitty that the league considers position coaches = coordinators. That is why there is so many retreads.

If there is ANY team in football that is less 'win now' than we are, I'd like to hear about them. Because even the teams that are completely lost at the moment need to start winning some damn games to rebuild their organization. Or they just be in a 'win never' stage because hell, if you don't have a QB you're largely irrelevant anyway.

We have a 23 year old MVP at quarterback. Yes, I am aware that he'll soon cost money but the reason he'll cost that much money is because literally every team in the NFL would switch places with us and GLADLY pay him that money to have them running the show for them.

This isn't a situation where we're running into the possibility of having to extend Mariota at twice his actual value because we're scared of having nothing at the position. We will be paying top of the market prices for the top of the market player at the most important position in pro sports. Okay - and?

We can win any season for the next decade. And if breaking in a young new DC takes more time than we thought but yields dividends for the next 5 years, so be it. You're advocating putting duct tape on a hole in the hull so we can limp around for a bit and hope to get to port on time. I'm saying dry dock it, fix the damn hull outright and even if we can't make up enough time to save that delivery, we may have a half dozen more that we're better off for because of it.

And I'm just completely unwilling to concede that some of the brightest young defensive minds in football can't come in here and 'find their sea legs' by the end of a 17 week regular season after having an entire off-season to get things kicked off.

Your approach here is is just completely wrongheaded, IMO.

I like Hewitt a lot. I seriously doubt:
1)The Ravens want to allow him and other members of their staff to go to what looks like an AFC powerhouse for the next decade
2)Reid and Veach want to be looking for a DC next year or the year after.

Oh no. Better hire a guy like Ryan or Spagnuolo instead. They're never going to hire them away. Yay.
