Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken interviewed with the Ravens this week, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the latest indication that the highly-touted Bulldogs assistant is eyeing a return the professional coaching ranks.
On Friday, ESPN’s Jenna Laine reported that Monken plans to meet with the Buccaneers next week after Tampa fired Byron Leftwich following the team’s elimination from the playoffs in the wild-card round. Pelissero’s report adds further legitimacy to the idea that Monken is seriously considering a move back to the NFL after spending the last three years in Athens.
Monken, 56, has been tremendously successful in developing the Bulldogs offense over the last few years under coach Kirby Smart. In the last two seasons, the program has posted a combined 29–1 record and won back-to-back national championships. Though it’s often Georgia’s defense that’s lauded for carrying the team, the offense ranked fifth in the NCAA in points (41.1) and total yards (501.1) per game in 2022 due in large part to Monken’s efforts in developing the unit.
