As the Ravens prepare for their Divisional Round matchup against the Buffalo Bills, offensive coordinator Todd Monken has emerged as one of the hottest head coaching candidates in the NFL. Monken recently completed an interview with the Chicago Bears for their vacant head coaching position.
Monken has a track record of success that has made him a top target for teams looking to revamp their offenses:
The Bears are in a pivotal rebuilding phase, particularly with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who is expected to be the centerpiece of the team’s future. Monken’s ability to develop quarterbacks and craft creative, high-scoring offenses makes him an ideal candidate for Chicago.
“If any coach can get the best out of Caleb Williams, it’s Todd Monken,” analysts have noted. His expertise in maximizing quarterback talent, combined with his success at both the collegiate and NFL levels, could make him the ideal choice to steer the Bears back to relevance.
In addition to the Bears, Monken is reportedly a top candidate for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ head coaching job, further highlighting his league-wide appeal.
With the Ravens deeply entrenched in their playoff run, Monken is balancing head coaching interviews with preparation for Sunday’s showdown against the Bills. Head coach John Harbaugh and the Ravens organization are supportive of Monken’s opportunities while remaining focused on their ultimate goal—a Super Bowl victory.
While it remains to be seen whether Monken will leave Baltimore, his contributions to the Ravens’ success this season are undeniable. As the Bears and other teams search for their next leader, Monken’s name will likely remain at the top of their lists.
What do you think, Ravens fans? Can Baltimore retain Monken for another season, or is he destined to lead a team of his own? Let us know in the comments!
