Todd Monken has gotten the best out of Lamar Jackson. After getting passed over for several high-profile head coaching jobs, the veteran offensive play-caller is finalizing a deal to remain with the Ravens.
Baltimore’s offensive coordinator was scheduled to interview with the Jacksonville and Chicago before the teams AFC Divisional Round loss to 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.
