    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, Todd Monken directly addresses recent reports surrounding his relationship with Lamar Jackson, making it clear there were no issues between players, coaches, or John Harbaugh. Monken reflects honestly on his time in Baltimore, admits mistakes from this past season, and officially says farewell as the Ravens move in a new direction.

    We also react to a goodbye message from Zach Orr and break down what this full coaching reset means for the organization. With the Ravens already lining up interviews, we go through who has been interviewed, who's next, and which coaching candidates make the most sense for where this team is headed moving forward.

  • The Ravens Coaching Search Is On — Who Should Be Next?

    The Baltimore Ravens coaching search is officially underway.

    In this episode, I break down every head coach interview the Ravens have scheduled, the background and résumé of each candidate, and what they would bring to Baltimore. We'll look at coaching philosophy, past success, leadership style, and how each option fits with Lamar Jackson and the current roster.

    I also give my honest pick for who should be the next Ravens head coach — and why this hire will shape the franchise for years to come.

    This is a massive moment for the organization, and the decision ahead could determine whether the Ravens are simply competitive… or true Super Bowl contenders again.

  • John Harbaugh Is Out in Baltimore — Here's Why It Finally Happened

    In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the latest details surrounding the Baltimore Ravens moving on from John Harbaugh and why this decision finally came to a head.

    This wasn't about one game or one season. It was about direction — disagreements at the coordinator level, where the organization wanted to go offensively and defensively, and signs that things inside the locker room may have started to shift.

    I'm not here to bash John Harbaugh. He brought a Super Bowl to Baltimore, countless playoff runs, and nearly two decades of stability. This is about explaining why the Ravens felt change was necessary now, what we know as of today, and how this move reshapes the future of the franchise.

    We also look ahead at potential head coaching candidates, what type of coach the Ravens may prioritize next, and how this decision impacts Lamar Jackson and the core of this roster moving forward.

    This is an update on where things stand right now — with more to come as details continue to emerge.

    💜 Appreciate everything, Coach.

    John Harbaugh is officially out as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, ending one of the longest and most successful coaching tenures in NFL history.

    After years of playoff disappointments and mounting pressure to get back to a Super Bowl, the Ravens have made the ultimate decision. In this episode of The Flock Rundown, I give my immediate reaction to the Harbaugh firing, what went wrong, why this moment finally arrived, and what this means for Lamar Jackson and the future of the franchise.

    Where do the Ravens go from here? Was this move overdue, or a massive risk? And who could be next to lead Baltimore into a new era?

  • The Ravens Enter an Offseason of Accountability

    The Baltimore Ravens finish the season at 8–9, and now the focus shifts to what comes next.

    In this episode, I break down how this season unraveled, why it came down to the margins again, and what this loss says about the current state of the Ravens. We talk about John Harbaugh's future, the role leadership plays moving forward, and the expectation that real changes may be coming with Steve Bisciotti overseeing another disappointing finish.

    This conversation goes beyond one missed kick. We look at the full picture — coaching, roster construction, and why the Ravens can't simply run it back again. Building the trenches, accountability across the organization, and how this 8–9 season will be remembered are all part of the discussion.

    This is the start of the offseason conversation.

  • Ravens Control Their Fate as Lamar Jackson Nears Return

    In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the latest on Lamar Jackson's status heading into Sunday's AFC North showdown against Pittsburgh, including Ian Rapoport reporting that Lamar has a "much better chance" to play. We react to John Harbaugh confirming that Lamar will start over Tyler Huntley if he's healthy, and why the Ravens shouldn't overthink the game plan regardless.

    We explain why Baltimore must continue to lean on Derrick Henry, no matter who's under center, and how that identity gives them the edge in a winner-take-all divisional matchup. We also discuss reports that Steelers LB T.J. Watt is a long shot to play, how that changes the matchup, and why Pittsburgh's offense looks completely different without DK Metcalf.

    To wrap it up, we dive into Ravens salary cap and compensatory pick updates, then break down the Week 18 playoff scenarios and wild card odds, including who could be traveling to Baltimore or Pittsburgh in the first round. Everything you need heading into the most important game of the season.
