WATCH: Todd Monken explains why he left Georgia for ‘parallel’ Baltimore Ravens job
ATHENS — Todd Monken sees Georgia football as an equal to the Baltimore NFL franchise, describing his move to become the Ravens offensive coordinator as “parallel’ in his Tuesday press conference.

So…it’s John Harbaugh’s sister’s fault.
Sorry, I wouldn't want to be the coach having to deal with the drama and personality of Lamar Jackson.
so are we to believe that Harbaugh only thought of looking at Monken when his sister said he and his wife were great people?! It’s almost like Harbaugh can’t even mention UGA because it ripped through his brother’s “NFL built” team like it was a JV scrimmage. Gonna miss Monken and wish him luck and believing Bobo keeps things rolling. Go DAWGS
That beeatch!! LOL!🤣
Jim may have had a part in this as well - as MG said, CTM's offense tore through the Michigan defense with relative ease...maybe he wanted to help take away a piece of the successful Smart machine. Who knows? I know Coach Bobo will make the best of his 2nd stint as the Georgia OC. Nothing like a guy that feels like he has something to prove. I think he will work hard to help Georgia fans forget Monken. Or at least soften the blow of the Monken exit. No doubt, that will be a tall order! GO DAWGS!
Didn't read a bit of this article, but I wanted to comment. The article probably needs to be written, but I hope this isn't a recurring theme like it was with Justin Fields at Ohio State, articles discussing what Monken is doing in Baltimore. Don't really care about the what or the why of his exit - he chose to leave, and that is all that matters, and all I really need to know. Thank you for your time with UGA Coach Monken, helping us over the hump, but you chose to leave and like the players, we should be focusing on those who want to be with the team.. Good luck, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Buh bye. Time for us to move on.
It was interesting to read that Smart "got Bobo in place" last year. Seems he got Muschamp on board the season before Lanning left. Gotta love that "analyst" thing!
Wait…….is the sister Crean’s wife and Harbaugh’s sister? Now I get it…she has no love lost for our adorable Dawgs 😉
Spot on! Mike loves him some Justin Fields

Apart from his contract demands, Lamar Jackson has no history of the "drama and personality" that you are speaking of in college or the NFL. I have a feeling why you believe otherwise, but they will go unsaid. Rest assured, if Monken was able to "headbut" with SB IV, he will get along with Lamar just fine.
Also, Lamar Jackson's backup has a similar skillset. So if Lamar leaves - and Baltimore doesn't have to give him a $250 million contract - Monken will actually be better off.
The only thing I have against Jackson, is the same thing I had against Matt Ryan. Not enough bang for the buck. The Ravens have to decide between paying 1 guy, a massive contract, eating deep in their Cap...or dump his contract to go after talent at other positions...along with a competent backup. Keeping in mind...winning is all that matters. If that 1 guy goes down to injury in the 1st game. Your season is shot, because you put all your marbles in one basket.
If there's one thing I've learned over the years...no one player ever won a Super Bowl (SB). An average QB can take a great "Team" to the SB...but, not the other way around. Take a look at Chris Chambliss in '99.
On the flip side...Michael Vick was the most dominant single player at the QB position, that I've ever seen. He virtually led the Falcons to the playoffs in his 1st or 2nd year...then, got injured in the following pre-season, derailing any chance the Birds had of returning. One guy rule. Don't do it. IMO

While you are not wrong in general, with the Falcons specifically their main problem was not drafting better. The one year the Falcons had a truly good draft they went to a Super Bowl (which for the record was lost because of coaching). If you look at their drafts, basically none of their OL picks, DL picks, LB or CB picks etc. panned out. They also made no real attempt to replace Tony Gonzalez over the years, which was absolutely amazing. The Julio Jones thing - trading all those picks to take one WR who was always hurt yet had massive contract demands - backfired, as did the Calvin Ridley debacle. The Ryan era would have turned out much better had the Falcons ever gotten what the Rams, Chiefs and Eagles have now, which are good general managers plus head coaches with a good eye for talent. For that matter the Vick era would have too.
