Southern Mississippi head coach Todd Monken leaving for NFL

Southern Mississippi head coach Todd Monken has resigned from the Conference USA school to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach.

"I am very excited to add a coach with the type of experience and tenacity that Todd brings," Buccaneers head doach Dirk Koetter said in a statement released by the team on Sunday. "I have always been impressed with his approach to the game as well as his ability to teach concepts and get the best out of his players."

Monken, 49, will take over the coordinator position previously filled by Koetter, who was promoted to head coach last week after Lovie Smith was fired by the Buccaneers after going 6-10 this season.
