Overview
- On the Ryan Ripken Show, Monken said, "I didn't coach Lamar well enough" and took responsibility for the unit’s uneven year.
- He pushed back on anonymous-source stories, saying he had a good relationship with Jackson and never saw friction with John Harbaugh.
- Baltimore finished 8-9 after a late-season loss in Pittsburgh, missed the playoffs, and dismissed Harbaugh after 18 seasons.
- The offense slipped to 11th in scoring and 16th in yards as Jackson missed time with a hamstring and other injuries.
- Monken is not expected to return as Baltimore resets its staff, and he interviewed with the Browns on Saturday for their head-coaching vacancy.
