Todd Monken, who was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator this last season, led one of the leagues most explosive offenses. He is getting a lot of interest around the league to be an offensive coordinator for other teams and even some interest to be a head coach and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick thinks he has the “it factor” to be a good head coach.

It has been reported by the NFL Network that the New York Jets have requested permission to interview Monken and Fitzpatrick thinks he would be a perfect match for Sam Darnold.

“I'm telling you: He's got it,” Fitzpatrick said via nfl.com. “He's got the ‘It Factor' as a head coach. He's smart enough. He's a big-time offensive coach. If that's what they're looking for, then it'll be good for Sam.”

Monken was the head coach at Southern Miss from 2013-15 and Fitzpatrick called him the perfect offensive coordinator.

“If the play-caller has confidence in you, you can feel it on the headset,” Fitzpatrick said. “You can feel it by the way he's calling plays. He was so awesome this year in terms of that, especially for it being his first time calling plays in the NFL. It was easy for him. He wasn't stumbling over words or worried about mistakes or shrinking in big moments. He did a great job with all that.”

It's still unclear how much interest the Jets have in him, but the team needs to make sure that they hire the right guy to help Sam Darnold take the next step forward in his development.
