ExtremeRavens Posted yesterday at 04:12 PM Posted yesterday at 04:12 PM The Browns have their next coach, and he comes from AFC North rival Baltimore. Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken has agreed to become Cleveland’s next head coach, a source with direct knowledge confirmed to The Baltimore Sun. He replaces Kevin Stefanski, who was fired earlier this month. At age 59, it is his first NFL head coaching job. The hire also bucks the trend of NFL coaches skewing younger in recent years, but Monken brings plenty of experience and a track record of fielding elite offenses. Baltimore’s offensive coordinator since 2023, he was the architect of what proved to be an explosive and dynamic unit in his first two seasons. Under Monken, quarterback Lamar Jackson posted career highs in passing yards and passing touchdowns in 2024. The year before, in Monken’s first season, Jackson won his second NFL Most Valuable Player Award. Baltimore also in 2024 became the first team in NFL history to top 4,000 yards passing and 3,000 rushing in the same season. That led to Monken getting multiple head coaching interviews. On Wednesday, he finally landed his first job as a head coach. This article will be updated. Have a news tip? Contact Brian Wacker at bwacker@baltsun.com, 410-332-6200 and x.com/brianwacker1.
