Giants' Coaching Staff Shaping Up with John Harbaugh at the Helm
John Harbaugh's appointment as head coach of the New York Giants has sent shockwaves through the NFL coaching circles. The five-year deal brings stability to the franchise after years of mediocrity, and now attention is shifting to who will join him in his new role.
While the hiring of a top-tier quarterback like Jaxson Dart is crucial, Harbaugh's next move as coach could spell good news for Dart's development. Former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh's track record suggests that he'll be keen on replicating the success he enjoyed with Todd Monken during his tenure in Baltimore.
Monken, a highly sought-after candidate, has worked with some of the most talented quarterbacks in the league, including Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield. His relationship with Harbaugh dates back to 2019, when Monken was part of the Ravens' staff as offensive coordinator. The partnership yielded impressive results, with Jackson enjoying a breakout season.
However, after three years together, their working relationship soured, with Monken taking responsibility for not getting the best out of Jackson's physical brilliance and medical issues. In recent interviews, Monken has acknowledged that he didn't do enough to help his quarterbacks succeed.
The Giants' new coaching staff is shaping up as a strong unit, but there are concerns about adhering to NFL regulations. As part of the Rooney Rule, Harbaugh will need to interview at least two minority or female candidates from outside the organization before making a decision on Monken's role.
Monken himself has been making waves in recent weeks, interviewing for the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator job and openly expressing his admiration for Harbaugh as a coach. His candid remarks about Lamar Jackson suggest that he understands the importance of building strong relationships with quarterbacks and developing them to their full potential.
In light of this, it seems increasingly likely that Monken will be joining Harbaugh in New York. The two have a proven track record of success together, with impressive results during their time at Baltimore.
