Browns Coaching Search Ends with Todd Monken | What Went Wrong? What’s Next? - The Dawgland Podcast

Описание: The Cleveland Browns finally have a new head coach — and it’s Todd Monken. Not the name most fans expected. Maybe not the name many wanted. But here we are.

In this episode of The Dawgland Podcast, Anthony Joki and Jackson McCurry break down how the Browns arrived at this decision, why the coaching search felt chaotic, and what Monken’s background could mean for Cleveland’s offense moving forward. We dive into Jimmy Haslam’s fingerprints on the process, the fallout with Jim Schwartz, Monken’s adaptability across college and the NFL, and whether this hire can actually stabilize a franchise desperate for consistency.

Is this another Browns misstep — or a sneaky smart move that finally fixes the offense?
