Todd Monken remains the Ravens’ OC, for now, meaning he is still coaching QB Lamar Jackson—while John Harbaugh is not. Baltimore fired him after 18 seasons, and reports quickly surfaced that his reputation in the locker room played a role. Many believe—fueled by those reports—that his relationship with Jackson was at the center of it all.
Monken, who has been the Ravens’ offensive coordinator for three seasons, recently spoke. He weighed in on his own relationship with Jackson, but also Harbaugh’s, and the former head coach’s with other players. Harbaugh was always seen as a player-friendly coach, so the report of him losing the locker room stuck out.
