"The Cleveland Browns are naming Todd Monken as their head coach, according to multiple reports. Monken had been Baltimore's offensive coordinator for the past three seasons, and his appointment comes after several high-profile candidates rejected the Browns. He has also interviewed for Tampa Bay's offensive coordinator opening and was tied to the New York Giants offensive coordinator spot after John Harbaugh was named coach. Monken is the seventh coach hired by owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam since they bought the franchise in 2012."
"The previous six compiled a 73-139-1 regular-season record, the second-worst mark in the NFL over that span. The Browns were 5-12 this season and 8-26 the past two years, despite boasting a strong defense. Cleveland interviewed 10 people for the opening after Kevin Stefanski was fired at the start of January. After announcing Stefanski's firing, Jimmy Haslam bristled over the narrative that the Browns are a dysfunctional organization."
