Todd Monken Among Sports Illustrated’s Top Head Coaching Candidates
Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr compiled a list of the top 43 heading coaching candidates for 2026, and Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken was among them.
“Monken is steeped heavily in both the college and pro game, giving him a leg up when it comes to importing college talent,” Orr wrote. “Monken has been a play-caller in the NFL for seven seasons, in which his teams have achieved top-10 finishes in major offensive categories four times. The Ravens have had the NFL’s fifth best offense in terms of EPA per play since Monken took over the post [in 2023].”
Orr also identified position coaches he believes could bump up to the coordinator level, including Offensive Run-Game Coordinator Travis Switzer.
“Switzer has been the Ravens’ run-game coordinator for the past three seasons,” Orr wrote. “He interviewed for the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator position last offseason before the Seahawks hired Klint Kubiak. An entrenched member of the Ravens’ offensive staff, Switzer was a favorite of current Seattle Head Coach Mike Macdonald.”
