Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Monken will interview with the Jaguars on Thursday and the Bears on Friday. The interviews will take place remotely, which is the case for all interviews with coaches currently employed by NFL teams at this point in the process.
Todd Monken will have a busy weekend, but he says that he's focused on only one thing heading into the Divisional Round.
As the Chicago Bears evaluate candidates for their next head coach, one contender raises concerns about the NFL's challenging interview timeline.
A Heisman candidate and star college quarterback at Utah and cover model for the NCAA Football 10 video game, Johnson got his start in coaching at his alma mater and became the youngest FBS offensive coordinator at age 24. He has mentored the likes of Dak Prescott, Kyle Trask and Jalen Hurts (whose dad, Averion, coincidentally coached Johnson).
Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken interviewed for the Chicago Bears head coaching job on Friday
"Hopefully, Zay will be able to go, but if not, we have a lot of really good players," Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken said Thursday. "We really do. We're fortunate. We have a lot of really good players, and we anticipate them playing well."
Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken is a busy man, especially this time of year. Now in his second season in Baltimore, the 58-year-old assistant is the play caller for one of the league’s top offenses spearheaded by NFL Most Valuable Player Award candidate Lamar Jackson and star running back Derrick Henry.
Buffalo likes to line up in its nickel personnel on defense, which should give Baltimore an advantage in the run game with Derrick Henry.
After a 5-12, last-place season that included 10 consecutive losses and the in-season firings of coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears are now embarking on a search to hire the franchise’s next head coach.
Several of the top candidates for head coaching jobs around the NFL have to juggle their teams' playoff commitments with their personal pursuits.
Just hours after announcing their interview with Todd Monken, the Chicago Bears announced that they completed an interview with Joe Brady Friday. Brady is currently serving as the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills.
