Reports last week indicated that the Baltimore Ravens intended to speak with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson about their own vacant coordinator position.
They intended to wait to speak with them as they each prepared their teams for the Super Bowl—each successfully, I might add. But either they decided not to wait or they were never seriously planning to do so, because the Ravens announced a hire yesterday.
Todd Monken is to be their new offensive coordinator, succeeding Greg Roman after four seasons on the job. A former offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he has spent the past few years as the Georgia Bulldogs’ coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
