Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh announced that offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will return for the 2012 season and that linebackers coach Dean Pees has been promoted to defensive coordinator. Cameron has been with the Ravens since the 2008 season and is coming off a season where the team ranked 15th in the NFL in total offense and 12th in scoring offense. Cameron's $2 million per season contract was set to expire and after the offense regressed in 2011, there had been some uncertainty as to whether he would return in 2012. Pees replaces Chuck Pagano, who left the team to become the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. "It’s an incredible opportunity to be a defensive coordinator for anybody in this league, but it’s especially humbling to be one for the Ravens," said Pees. "I’m not going to be the same as Chuck Pagano. You got to be who you are." Pees has previous defensive coordinator experience, handling those duties with the New England Patriots from 2006-09 before he was allowed to leave the organization and join the Ravens in 2010, Pees had coached the Patriots linebackers from 2004-05 before his promotion to coordinator.
