5 Frank Reich replacements Colts could steal from college football
By John Buhler
Offensive Coordinator. Scouting Report. Georgia Bulldogs. Todd Monken. 2. player. 814. Pick Analysis
Todd Monken is a former NFL offensive coordinator and could make his return
This one is a bit out of the box, but hear me out. The most underrated offensive mind in the college game today is Georgia’s offensive coordinator Todd Monken. The former Southern Miss head coach has NFL experience as the former wide receivers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, as well as the offensive coordinator for both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then the Cleveland Browns.
What makes Monken such an interesting fit is his coaching stock may be at an all-time high right now. Georgia may be led by a defensive-minded head coach in Kirby Smart, but the Dawgs do a lot of things very well on the offensive side of the ball. Monken has coached quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs professionally. He does a great job of getting his best players the ball.
Monken would not be the sexiest of hires, but he will have plenty of opportunities this offseason.
Head Coach. Michigan Wolverines. Jim Harbaugh. 1. player. 811. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
Colts Ring of Honor member Jim Harbaugh may return to NFL for the right job
This is the name that set this whole idea of giving it the whole college try in motion when it comes to the Colts. Jim Harbaugh did play flirt with the Minnesota Vikings during National Signing Day last February. While he did have a previous working relationship with new Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah from their days in San Francisco, Harbaugh is a former Colts star.
At this point, it is going to take the perfect job to get him to leave his alma mater of Michigan for the NFL again, but Indianapolis may be that gig. He won NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 1995 and played his best professional football for the Colts. Harbaugh is in their Ring of Honor. In his late 50s, he has one more shot to be an NFL head coach. This might be his last best opportunity.
Harbaugh left San Francisco when Michigan needed him and he could do the same for the Colts.
