Ravens OC Todd Monken Interviews for Jaguars, Bears Positions

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken is in the spotlight as he interviews for head coaching positions with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears just days before the Ravens' crucial playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. Monken's Ravens have had a stellar season, ranking first in the NFL for total yards and rushing yards, and he expressed his focus remains on the upcoming game despite the timing of the interviews being 'unfortunate.' His interview with the Jaguars marks the seventh in their search to replace Doug Pederson, who was fired after a disappointing season. Monken brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as offensive coordinator for the Buccaneers and Browns, as well as head coach at Southern Miss. Despite the pressure of potential new opportunities, Monken stated that his preparation for the Bills is unaffected and that he enjoys his current role with the Ravens. The interviews are allowed under NFL rules for coaches whose teams are still in the playoffs, but they must be conducted virtually before the end of the divisional round.
