Doyle has quickly risen through the coaching ranks. He started as an offensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints in 2019 and followed Sean Payton to Denver to be his tight ends coach for two seasons. That opportunity led him to Chicago, where he was the Bears' offensive coordinator in 2025.
[Doyle played a huge role in building the game plan](https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/declan-doyle-todd-monken-offensive-coordinator-age-halftime-adjustments-lamar-jackson-caleb-williams) for the Bears offense, but Head Coach Ben Johnson called the plays. However, Doyle believes he has built a firm foundation to become an excellent play-caller.
"My role last year was to support Ben, support the rest of the staff, make sure I was giving ideas," Doyle said. "Ben may have had other things going on as the head coach. You were setting the table to where he could come in and most of the work was already done.
"The difference here is being able to put your own spin on some of those things. This is really a collaborative thing with myself and our staff. This is our offense. This is the 2026 Baltimore Ravens. This is what we want it to look like."
Having a quarterback like Jackson to lead the offense is something that made coming to Baltimore even more attractive to Doyle. After seeing Jackson do marvelous things on tape, Doyle will have the opportunity to work with Jackson as Baltimore's offense evolves.
"When you watch the tape, there's not really any throws that he can't make," Doyle said. "He's very arm-talented. I think there's even a higher ceiling to his game. You're looking at a guy that's been the MVP twice. And yet I still think just like all our guys, he still has room to grow.
"It's a surreal opportunity, and yet it's one that I feel very ready to do."
Doyle said he hasn't decided yet if he will call plays from the sideline or the coach's box. He discussed both options with Jackson, but there's plenty of time to make that decision.
"I was like, 'What would you rather have?'" Doyle said. "\[Jackson\] said he's never had a coach call it from the field. I'd like to experience both and work through it with the staff. We'll kind of try both and figure out what's more comfortable."
