Bears complete interview with Ravens OC Todd Monken for vacant HC job

If any coach can get the best out of Caleb Williams, it’s Todd Monken, and hours after the final Ravens practice of the week, Baltimore’s offensive coordinator interviewed for the Bears head coaching job.

The Ravens are engulfed in the AFC playoff race, but NFL franchises are interviewing coaching candidates, and Monken is at the top of several teams’ lists. Baltimore’s offensive coordinator was scheduled to interview with the Jacksonville and Chicago before Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Monken spent three years in Athens as offensive coordinator, leading the Georgia Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

In his first season with the Ravens, Jackson had one of his best seasons, leading the team to an AFC-best 13-4 record.

Every offense Monken has commanded since 2021 has finished in the top 10 in total offense, with his title-winning team in 2022 and his first-year Lamar Jackson ranking in the top five.

Lamar Jackson could win another MVP this season after accounting for 45 touchdowns and the NFL’s No. 1 ranked offense.
