The Ravens made it official Monday.

Offensive coordinator Todd Monken has signed a contract to remain in Baltimore, the team announced. The news comes after the deal had been previously reported last week.

Terms were not disclosed.

It was also not a surprise after the Ravens finished the regular season as the NFL’s top offense for the first time in what was Monken’s second year. Baltimore was also the first team in league history to throw for at least 4,000 yards and run for at least 3,000 in the same season and racked up the third-most total yards in history in a single season.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson also flourished, putting together his best season.

The NFL Most Valuable Player candidate threw for a career-high 4,172 yards and franchise record 41 touchdowns against just four interceptions. He also ran for 915 yards and four more scores, becoming the first player in league history to pass for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 900 yards in the same season.

Monken, who will turn 59 on Wednesday, drew interest for a second straight year in head coaching openings from around the league, interviewing with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears before being passed over.

His return, however, is significant. Coach John Harbaugh said during the Ravens’ end-of-season news conference that while he believes Monken will be a “great” head coach, being able to keep him would be important for the continuity and growth of the offense.

“It would be very meaningful if and when we get him back, and we continue [moving] forward,” Harbaugh said last month. “I really am excited about 3.0, that iteration of this offense going forward.”

In Monken’s two seasons, the Ravens have averaged the second-most yards (397.6) and points per game (29.4) in the league during that span. This season, Baltimore was first in yards per game (424.9) and yards per play (6.8) and third in points per game (30.1).

“He’s a really good football coach. He’s an old-school football coach with kind of a new-school and creative mind. [He’s] always creating,” Harbaugh said. “Todd is one of those guys that can apply his experience, along with the fact that he’s always thinking ahead. He’s always trying to come up with the next idea, and then he’s also very much a collaborator.”

That wasn’t the only announcement.

The Ravens also made official the hiring of Tyler Santucci as their linebackers coach after the move was reported by the NFL Network on Saturday. He replaces Mark DeLeone, who was let go after just one season last month in the first change to Harbaugh’s staff this offseason.

Santucci, 36, joins Baltimore from Georgia Tech, where he spent last season as defensive coordinator/linebackers coach after being the defensive coordinator at Duke and co-defensive coordinator at Texas A&M.

Under Santucci, the Yellow Jackets improved from 74th to 58th in ESPN’s SP+ efficiency rankings and allowed roughly five fewer points and 100 fewer yards per game from the year before and Georgia Tech also improved from 131st in run defense to 30th last season.
