Todd Monken 'never saw' Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh 'not have a great relationship'

Our Summary

John Harbaugh was dismissed as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons following the team's failure to make the playoffs. The dismissal came after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, capping a season that began with high expectations but ended in disappointment with an 8-9 record. Reports suggested tension between Harbaugh and quarterback Lamar Jackson, who struggled with injuries throughout the season, missing multiple games. Jackson's performance included 2,549 passing yards and 21 touchdowns in 13 games, both career lows since 2022. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who had a three-year tenure with the Ravens and previously coached for the Buccaneers and Browns, expressed regret over his relationship with Jackson and the team's performance. Monken stated his intent to improve and succeed in his next opportunity while maintaining support for the Ravens.
