Report: Todd Monken The No. 1 Target for NFL Job

Georgia Football under head coach Kirby Smart has been in a perennial cycle of fretting about whether or not half of their staff will be picked off by the rest of the sport. When you win, especially at the unprecedented rate that Kirby Smart has won, you are undoubtedly going to have staffers pulled.

It was Jim Chaney. Then Mel Tucker. Then Sam Pittman. Then Dan Lanning. It's been a constant counsel around the program, and the only way to keep the level of excellence Kirby Smart has maintained is to hire better people every time.

Insert offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who just wrapped up his third season as a coordinator at Georgia and is yet again fighting off NFL Coaching opportunities.

Though Monken's name has been dropped all around the league to a point of nausea, he hasn't quite jumped at the opportunity to leave this Georgia program, at least not yet. Though that opportunity most threatening just arrived.

Todd Monken has a history in Tampa Bay with the Buccanneers, he was the coordinator there under the same ownership back in 2016 to 2018 when he spent three seasons with the Bucs.

According to Ian Rappaport of the NFL Network, Monken is the no. 1 target as they've just fired offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.

For the first time, #Bucs coach Todd Bowles will assemble his own offensive staff. Per me and @MikeGarafolo, one name to watch as OC: #Georgia OC Todd Monken. The former #Bucs OC could be back. https://t.co/EknZ2HKLdR
