Georgia football offensive coordinator Todd Monken gets monster raise to $2 million
ATHENS — Georgia has boosted the salary of offensive coordinator Todd Monken to $2 million a year, as of April 21 according to a DawgNation open records request.

I ain't mad about this one bit. I think this is a big thank you for last year as well as a "he's going to be with us a while" sort of shout out to would-be pursuers from the NFL and, perhaps more importantly, to Arch Manning and his family. Next up: Kirby Smart. Go Dawgs!
Yeah baby. Love it.
Todd Monken is getting the job done, making Georgia's offense great again. Glad to see UGA step up and pay the man.
Tight end room "arguably" the best?! There is no debate, discussion, or argument on this one... it's not even close. In fact, you might be able to argue we have the 3 best tight ends in the nation, with a 4th/frosh that could be Bowers 2.0 (Delp). Go Dawgs!
This ensures that Coach Monken will be here at least until Arch Manning's signature is secured. And hopefully well beyond. I also hope that Monken can coach up the current QB's and reduce their "boneheaded" plays. Minimizing mistakes will be critical at QB this season.
A lot a money in football. I remember when Chan Gailey made $500K as HEAD COACH of the DALLAS COWBOYS.
Monken completely deserves this!!!
Kirby knows a good thing here and compensated him. Todd was a major player in UGA's 2021 season and championship...that is certain. Look at the tight end room. Best in the country. He coached UGA through a multiple round of injuries as well. Monken is an adapter....adapters win.
I can’t think of a time the OC at UGA was more universally accepted and respected by the Dawg fan base. Every OC has his detractors, but if they exist in Dawg Nation when it comes to coach Monken, they are a very silent minority.
A $2,000,000 investment with what is going to be an astronomical rate of return!
I really don't have anything bad to say about anyone on our coaching staff! We're blessed to have such an awesome group of coaches working with those young men, making them the best they can be. Having a few former Dawgs on staff is the icing on the cake! Well done, guys! Now let's go and repeat!
GOOOOOO DAWGS!
Cool, hopefully Monken will stay at least three more years
Hmmm. Looks like we are doing everything we can to make the Manning family's decision easier. Look out! Here he comes!
This is great news.
Shows you what CKS thinks of him! He's all in!
If I were Todd Monken, why would I ever want to leave Athens? They couldn't get me out of there with a crowbar! Let me count the ways:
With all the advantages he does have and all the B.S. he doesn't have to deal with, why would he ever want to leave and become the HC at some middling university? Taking a HC job at a top program comes with so much more responsibility for recruiting, that to me, does not seem to be Monken's personality. Some people on the radio have suggested that he could become an offensive coordinator in the pros, but is that really a better job? While it is true the coaches don't have to recruit, it seems to me like Monken only gets involved if its a 5 star QB like Arch Manning. Otherwise Kirby has tremendous resources to handle the heavy lifting on that front virtually guaranteeing you a steady stream of top players to shape and mold. The players that Todd and Kirby get are motivated to learn from Monken, they are real "student athletes" (NIL not withstanding) and students of the game. In the pros you get a bunch of jaded millionaires who have heard it all before.
Todd Monken has the best job in the world! Why would he ever want to leave?
