Late last night, it was revealed that John Harbaugh is taking the head coach job with the New York Giants. With Harbaugh moving on from the Baltimore Ravens, he is also expected to bring on many staff members from his previous team, including offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
Monken is still interviewing for head coach positions, but it is believed and has been reported that he will join Harbaugh in New York.
The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported on Monken joining Harbaugh.
"Former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken is expected to join John Harbaugh in New York with the Giants, per source. This has always been the plan," Russini wrote on X.
It is not at all shocking that this will be the case. From the presser involving Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Eric DeCosta, they revealed there would be sweeping coaching changes, which is the usual case.
Any time a new head coach is brought in, they typically build their own coaching staff ahead of time to bring along with them. Harbaugh is no different.
Monken already spoke about his time with the Ravens, pointing to the knowledge that he would likely not be back. Now, he gets to mold Jaxson Dart alongside Harbaugh, assuming he takes the offensive coordinator position.
Also, Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr is garnering interest as well. The Dallas Cowboys are expected to interview Orr for their vacant defensive coordinator position.
Bisciotti and DeCosta confirmed what they are looking for in their next head coach, and they are essentially out to find their next Harbaugh. While the Ravens' owner did state this new person would be given six years to win a Super Bowl, they are looking for longevity.
Longevity is what the Ravens have known since the franchise's inception in the 1990s. The next head coach will only be the fourth in franchise history, and Biscioitti likely does not want to go on another exhaustive search in the next three years or so.
There is a wealth of candidates to choose from currently, and the Ravens are busy interviewing candidates. Whoever this next person is was always going to bring in their own staff.
Jeff Zrebriec also indicated that the Ravens are not stopping many assistants from joining Harbaugh, which is also not a surprise.
A new coaching staff overhaul is what the Ravens need, and their next leader will build that staff together to prepare for the 2026 season and the next era of Baltimore football.
