The Ravens are engulfed in the AFC playoff race, but NFL franchises are interviewing coaching candidates, and Todd Monken is at the top of several teams’ lists. Baltimore’s offensive coordinator is scheduled to interview with the Jaguars and Bears before Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
After Thursday’s practice, Monken was asked about interviewing for jobs while preparing for a huge game.
Ravens OC Todd Monken, who is interviewing for head coach openings the next two days, said all the work for those interviews was done in the offseason.

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.
