Todd Monken appointed as Cleveland Browns new head coach, replacing Jim Schwartz who was passed over despite being a top candidate. Monken, known for his offensive prowess, has already started building his staff, bringing back George Warhop and Travis Switzer. Schwartz, the defensive coordinator, is under contract until 2026 and is considered an NFL elite, but his future with the team is uncertain due to potential locker room division and lateral move restrictions.
