The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the process of filling their head coach position following the dismissal of Doug Pederson. On Thursday, it was reported that Todd Monken, the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator, is scheduled for an interview for the Jaguars' head coaching role. Monken is also slated to meet with the Chicago Bears, marking him as a prominent candidate in a competitive hiring landscape.
Monken’s potential appointment would be a significant return to the franchise, as he previously served as the Jaguars’ wide receivers coach in 2017. The Jaguars have a short list of candidates, including seasoned coaches such as Steve Spagnuolo, Ben Johnson, and Aaron Glenn, as they evaluate their options for a new leader.
Trent Baalke, the Jaguars general manager, emphasized the importance of making the right choice in this situation, noting the need to self-correct and acknowledging the positives that Pederson brought during his tenure. The Jaguars are also in the midst of interviews with several other candidates, including Brian Flores and Kellen Moore, demonstrating their commitment to finding the right fit for the future of the team.
