Baltimore Ravens offensive line coach Joe D’Alessandris has died at the age of 70, the team announced on Sunday.
Earlier this month, the team said D’Alessandris had been hospitalized for an acute illness and would require treatment for an extended period. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said at the time D’Alessandris had surgery earlier in the summer and some complications had arisen from it. D’Alessandris, who has been with the Ravens since 2017, coached for 45 years including stops in the Canadian Football League, the World League, and college football before coming to the NFL.
He was a great coach and a good man – the kind of person who you are honored to have as a friend. I admired him, loved him and am going to miss him, because ‘Joe D’ was a joy.” Earlier this month, the Ravens hired George Warhop to take over D’Alessandris’ role on an interim basis. “Today is a sad day for the Baltimore Ravens,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement. “‘Joe D’ was a rock, a great coach and a better person.
