Browns tap former Ravens OC Todd Monken for head coaching job

After a lengthy, complicated search process, the Cleveland Browns have hired Todd Monken to be their next head coach.

Monken, 59, has been the Ravens’ offensive coordinator for the past three seasons, though he was not expected to return in 2026 after the departure of head coach John Harbaugh. He interviewed for the Browns’ head coaching vacancy twice and emerged as their choice on Wednesday after several other candidates withdrew from the race. Among them were Jaguars OC Grant Udinski, new Chargers OC Mike McDaniel, and new Ravens head coach Jesse Minter.
