Todd Monken isn’t the only member of the Ravens staff under consideration to be John Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator for the Giants.
The Giants reportedly requested an interview with Ravens running backs coach Willie Taggart for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
The Ravens are not expected to block many (or any) offensive coaches under contract from interviews, The Post previously first reported.
Taggart spent the last three seasons under Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who is the favorite to hold the same title with the Giants if he is not hired as Browns head coach after participating in two rounds of interviews.
Monken also has interviewed for other offensive coordinator vacancies but his close relationship with Harbaugh suggests that the Giants would have the edge on an even playing field.
Taggart is an expert in the Harbaugh Way.
He played quarterback for Jack Harbaugh (John and Jim’s father) at Western Kentucky and coached under Jack at his alma mater, under Jim at Stanford and under John with the Ravens.

He was promoted to assistant head coach of the Ravens in 2025.
If Monken or anyone else is hired as offensive coordinator, the request signals that the Giants would be interested in adding Taggart as running backs coach.
The job has been a revolving door with the Giants, with four consecutive one-year tenures under former head coach Brian Daboll.
One of Harbaugh’s strengths over 18 years with the Ravens was staff building, and Taggart’s 13 years of experience leading NCAA programs (Western Kentucky, South Florida, Oregon and Florida State) is a resource.
Harbaugh is required to interview at least two minority candidates for all coordinator positions under the Rooney Rule, so he cannot just move his Ravens staff to East Rutherford.
At least one minority must be interviewed for quarterbacks coach – a job that could go to Tee Martin after spending the last three seasons under Harbaugh.
