The Crazy Newshound has found a new Ravens article.

Pagano's coaching career began as a graduate assistant at Southern California from 1984 to 1985 before a parallel move to Miami

(Fla.) in 1986. He was outside linebackers coach at Boise State from 1987 to 1988, then coached defensive backs at East Carolina

and UNLV in 1989 and 1990, respectively. By 1991, Pagano had been promoted to defensive coordinator for UNLV, but returned

to East Carolina to coach defensive backs and outside linebackers a year later.

Miami and North Carolina

Pagano first linked with Butch Davis in 1995, returning to Miami to coach the secondary and coordinate special teams. In his five

years there, he recruited and coached four first round NFL draft picks, and during the 2000 season, his secondary was named the

nation's best by Football News. His defensive backs did not allow a passing touchdown over the last 27 quarters of the 1999 season.

Miami also blocked 39 kicks in 59 games, including a school record 12 blocks in 1996.

At the end of the 2006 season, Pagano rejoined Davis following his appointment as head coach of North Carolina. In his first and only

season, they finished with a record of 4-8, but were narrowly beaten by less than seven points in six of those games.

NFL

In 2001, Pagano joined Davis in the NFL as secondary coach for the Cleveland Browns. In 2003, he helped the Browns tie a

franchise record for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed with 13. In 2001, the secondary accounted for 28 of the Browns' NFL

high 33 interceptions, and, in the same season, rookie cornerback Anthony Henry led the league with ten interceptions.

After leaving Cleveland in 2004, Pagano spent two seasons as defensive backs coach of the Oakland Raiders. In 2006, the Raiders

pass defensive allowed just 151 yards per game, and total defense just 285. This ranked them first and third in the league,

respectively.

Pagano was named to John Harbaugh's initial coaching staff with the Baltimore Ravens on February 12, 2008. He served as

defensive secondary coach for three seasons. He was promoted to Defensive Coordinator on January 18, 2011, succeeding Greg

Mattison who accepted a similar position at the University of Michigan.
