The Baltimore Ravens found an offensive coordinator Tuesday, and it’s not Kansas City OC Eric Bieniemy.
The Ravens named Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their new offensive coordinator. Monken has spent the past three seasons with the Bulldogs, the two-time defending national champions.
What does this mean for the Washington Commanders? That’s one less team Washington must compete against for a chance to hire Bieniemy. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN over the weekend, the Ravens and Commanders appeared to be the biggest threats to hiring Bieniemy away from the Chiefs.
Washington reached out to Bieniemy to set up an interview Monday morning, the day after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
The Ravens also wanted to speak with Bieniemy, but after waiting until after the Super Bowl and interviewing 14 candidates overall, according to head coach John Harbaugh, Baltimore hired Monken.
The Commanders interviewed former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Tuesday.
Bieniemy is believed to be Washington’s top target. However, with head coach Ron Rivera facing an uncertain 2023 due to potential new ownership, the question is, does Bieniemy want more stability?
One thing is certain; the Ravens are no longer a threat in potentially luring Bieniemy away from the Super Bowl champions. While that doesn’t mean Bieniemy is interested in Washington, it doesn’t hurt.
