The Baltimore Ravens have hired former New England Patriots Defensive Coordinator, Dean Pees, to be the team's new linebackers coach.
Pees, 60, served the as defensive coordinator for the Pats during their one loss season in 2007. He departed New England earlier this offseason, seemingly on his own accord:
"My contract with the New England Patriots will expire in a couple of weeks and I have informed Mr. Kraft and Coach Belichick that I will not seek to renew it. I enjoyed my time in New England, but feel this is the right time to pursue other opportunities. I had the privilege of working with some great coaches and great players over the past six seasons and leave the Patriots with some wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. In addition to the players and coaching staff, I want to thank the Kraft family, the media and the fans for all of their support."
The current linebackers coach for the Ravens, Vic Fangio, is in limbo. His status is "unknown".
