"In Cleveland, which has missed the playoffs in each of the past two seasons and posted an 8-26 record since reaching the postseason in 2023, Monken will have his work cut out for him on the offensive side of the ball. The Browns rank last in points scored over the past two seasons and have an unsettled quarterback room with Deshaun Watson, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders as returners."
"Monken will get his chance at making decisions on offense as the Browns have two first-round picks in the April 23 draft. Browns reporter Daniel Oyefusi, Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley, Giants reporter Jordan Raanan, national NFL reporter Dan Graziano, NFL draft analyst Matt Miller and NFL analyst Ben Solak answer all the big questions surrounding Monken's hiring and the decisions he'll have to change the future of the franchise."
"Monken flew a bit under the radar during the Browns' coaching search that began after Stefanski's firing on Jan. 5. Cleveland was the only known team to have interviewed Monken for a head coach opportunity during this cycle, and younger offensive minds, such as Jaguars OC Grant Udinski and Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, became coveted options among much of the fanbase."
Todd Monken, former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator and Browns OC in 2019, was hired as the Cleveland Browns' 19th full-time head coach. Monken brings three decades of collegiate and professional coaching experience, including a head-coaching stint at Southern Mississippi. Cleveland has struggled offensively, ranking last in points over the past two seasons, and presents an unsettled quarterback room with Deshaun Watson, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders returning. An elite defense led by likely Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett stands as a strength. Monken will control offensive decisions and possess two first-round picks in the April 23 draft.
