Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken leaving for NFL job

ATHENS, Ga. — Offensive coordinator Todd Monken is leaving the Georgia Bulldogs to return to the National Football League.

The Baltimore Ravens announced Tuesday that they have hired Monken as their new offensive coordinator.

“Todd’s leadership and coaching acumen were evident from the beginning. He has a proven track record for designing and teaching offensive systems that allow players to succeed at the highest level,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said in a statement.

Shortly after the announcement, the Bulldogs promoted offensive consultant and former offensive coordinator Mike Bobo to take over Monken’s job running Georgia’s offense.

“I am excited to name Mike Bobo our next Offensive Coordinator”, said Bulldogs Head Coach Kirby Smart. “Mike has a decade of experience as a successful SEC play-caller and over 20 years spent at UGA, both as a player and coach. Mike was an excellent addition to our staff last year as an analyst, and we are looking forward to his expanded leadership on the offensive side of the ball,” Smart added.

Monken joined the Georgia program before the 2020 season after previous stints in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cleveland Browns.

Under his three seasons, Monken’s offenses helped power the Georgia Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships. Georgia ranked fifth in total offense with 501.1 yards per game, 41.1 points per game and 75 total touchdowns last season.

Bobo, from Thomasville is a former Bulldogs quarterback who played three seasons in Athens alongside Head Coach Kirby Smart. He spent 14-seasons coaching the quarterbacks and was former Head Coach Mark Richt’s offensive coordinator beginning in 2007.

In December of 2014, Bobo was announced as the Head Coach at Colorado State. He lasted four seasons in Fort Collins before being let go after compiling a 28-38 record.

In late 2019, Bobo took over the offensive coordinator role at South Carolina and after a season at Auburn, he returned to his alma mater in January of 2022.
