John Harbaugh isn’t bringing Todd Monken to New Jersey to coach Jaxson Dart after all.
The Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator is taking the Cleveland Browns head coaching job instead, staying in the AFC North to coach Pro Bowl (seriously) quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
That removes the Giants’ top candidate from the board and thrusts Harbaugh back into the market for an offensive coordinator. Here are some names to watch:
Travis Switzer, Ravens run game coordinator: Switzer interviewed for the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator job that went to Klint Kubiak last year. He worked nine seasons for Harbaugh in Baltimore and most recently oversaw one of the league’s top running games, overseen by Monken and led by quarterback Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. If Switzer, a former Division I offensive lineman, doesn’t stick on new Ravens coach Jesse Minter’s staff, it could be because he has an opportunity too good to pass up in New York.
Charlie Weis Jr., LSU offensive coordinator: Dart’s college offensive coordinator at Ole Miss did not jump at the Eagles’ vacancy as a candidate in Philly, where job security could be shaky as early as next year depending on the results. But Harbaugh’s celebrated arrival in New York should give his offensive coordinator some breathing room in 2026 at least. Dart would love to play for Weis again, but he has not worked with Harbaugh before. So it remains to be seen if this is a fit.
Kliff Kingsbury, former Commanders offensive coordinator: The Tennessee Titans’ curious decision to hire former Giants head coach Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator means Kingsbury, the former Arizona Cardinals head coach, is still available. Kingsbury might get the Baltimore job to coach the former MVP Jackson. But it’s worth the Giants exploring what Jayden Daniels’ former Washington play caller could do for Dart with Daniels’ best friend, Malik Nabers, as New York’s centerpiece.
Davis Webb, Broncos quarterback coach: The Denver Broncos’ firing of offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi after reaching the AFC Championship Game seemed like it was done so Sean Payton could promote and retain Webb, one of the league’s rising stars. But Webb is in high demand. He interviewed for the Bills’ and Raiders’ head coach vacancies, and the Giants, Eagles and Ravens all have shown interest at offensive coordinator already, too. It will be interesting to see where the former Giant quarterback lands. He is highly regarded in the Giants’ building.
Lunda Wells, Cowboys tight end coach: Wells worked for the Giants from 2011-19. He has coached one of Dallas’ most productive position groups since 2020. His playcalling influences include new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy and Saints head coach Kellen Moore. Wells just coached his team to a win in the East-West Shrine Bowl. And he already has interviewed with the Steelers, Commanders and Jets for their OC openings this cycle. Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams is another interesting name in Dallas, but the Cowboys already blocked an Eagles request to interview him in division.
