Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken can add another team to his list of suitors. After the Bears and Jaguars were reported to have requested interviews with the second-year Baltimore play-caller, Las Vegas is the latest team to have requested permission to interview Monken, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. 
Monken has a wealth of experience coaching offenses at both the NFL and collegiate level. First beginning his coaching journey as a graduate assistant at Grand Valley State in 1989, Monken, 58, has worked for eight different college programs and four different NFL teams. Despite all the experience, he’s only had one head coaching stint, going 13-25 in three seasons at Southern Miss, though he did turn them from a 1-11 team in Year 1 to a 9-5 team in Year 3.
Monken has seen prodigious success in his offensive coaching over years in the NCAA. His NFL success has been a bit more hit or miss. As the offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay, Monken’s offenses finished 19th in scoring and 18th in total yards in 2016, 18th in scoring and ninth in total yards in 2017, and 12th in scoring and third in total yards in 2018. The following year he took over a Browns offense that had finished 20th in scoring and 13th in total yards in 2018 and saw both of those places fall to 22nd in his lone year at the helm.
Following these first stints as an NFL offensive coordinator, Monken took the same job at the University of Georgia, where he improved the nation’s 49th-best scoring offense and 61st-best total offense to the fourth- and fifth-best offense in those respective categories in just three years. This collegiate success earned him another chance in the NFL, landing him as the successor to Greg Roman in Baltimore.
Monken, now in his second season as the Ravens offensive coordinator, has drawn praise for helping lead Lamar Jackson to his most productive season to date. Baltimore became the first team in NFL history to surpass 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in a season this year, despite significant turnover on the offensive line and the loss of offensive line coach Joe D’Alessandris. Under Monken, Baltimore led the league in total offense this season, ranking third in scoring with an average of 30.5 points per game.
Monken’s recent run of success in one of the league’s most prolific offenses will likely continue to garner head coaching attention. Per PFR’s 2025 NFL Head Coaching Search Tracker, this is how his competition in Las Vegas is stacking up:
- Bill Belichick, head coach (North Carolina): Contacted about job
- Brian Flores, defensive coordinator (Vikings): Mentioned as candidate
- Aaron Glenn, defensive coordinator (Lions): Interview requested
- Ben Johnson, offensive coordinator (Lions): To interview 1/10
- Steve Spagnuolo, defensive coordinator (Chiefs): Interview requested
