Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken continues to draw interest from NFL teams. He interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens earlier this week, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported.

It’s at least the second known interview for Monken, who’s also preparing to interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week, as On3’s Matt Zenitz confirmed. Last week, Greg Roman stepped down as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator to pursue other opportunities after four seasons in the role.

Before arriving at Georgia in 2020, Monken worked as the Bucs’ offensive coordinator from 2016-18 and spent a year in the same role with the Cleveland Browns in 2019. Since taking over in Athens, he helped the Bulldogs to two straight national championships, including the program’s first in 40 years. He also played a key role in the development of Stetson Bennett, who became a Heisman Trophy finalist and won both titles for Georgia at quarterback.

Buccaneers to interview Todd Monken for offensive coordinator position

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing to interview Monken for their vacant offensive coordinator position next week, ESPN’s Jenna Laine reported Friday. On3’s Matt Zenitz also confirmed Laine’s report that Monken will interview with the Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay recently shook up its coaching staff by firing Byron Leftwich earlier this month. Leftwich, who was a hot candidate to be a head coach last offseason, replaced Monken with the Buccaneers in 2019. Monken’s name came up almost immediately, with NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport connecting him to the opening.

However, the Buccaneers might not be the only team vying for Monken’s services. ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler also said Monken could be a hot name around NFL circles considering his success at Georgia over the last few seasons. The Bulldogs went from 424.1 total yards of offense per game in 2020 to 501.1 yards per contest in 2022 en route to two straight titles.
