The Baltimore Ravens officially hired Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken for their offensive coordinator job, ending a weeks-long search that the team announced involved 14 candidates and 21 interviews. Monken brings a plethora of coaching experience at both the NFL and college levels, something that Baltimore seemed to covet.
After the hiring was announced, many different aspects of how the partnership became official began to be reported on. Albert Breer of NFL Network reported that Monken turned down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator job, with Jeremy Fowler of ESPN echoing the same message, saying Monken had several options as an NFL offensive coordinator.
The Ravens have hired Georgia OC Todd Monken to be their new offensive coordinator. Monken turned down the Bucs job, but still wanted to get back to the pros, and was sought after the last few weeks.
Bulldogs could dip back into the NFL, like they did w/Monken, to replace him.

Todd Monken had several options as an NFL OC but prioritized Baltimore, which was the most coveted playcalljng job available. Monken’s passing concepts will help (presumably) Lamar Jackson.
