Browns request interview for John Harbaugh assistant after Ravens coach’s shock firing
NY Post
Cleveland is once again interested in an offensive-minded running the show.
Just one day after the Browns fired their offensive guru head coach Kevin Stefanski, the team requested to interview Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, according to NFL Network.
Monken, who joined the just-fired John Harbaugh’s staff for the 2023 season, was previously the Browns’ offensive coordinator in 2019, calling plays for a talented team led by Freddie Kitchens.
General manager Andrew Berry has been at the helm in Cleveland since 2020 and will lead the Browns’ search for a new coach, though owner Jimmy Haslam is usually hands on as well.
Multiple reports stated that Harbaugh, who agreed to part ways with the Ravens after 18 years with the team, was unwilling to discuss moving on from Monken as his offensive coordinator, which was a “pressure point” in Baltimore.
It’s hard to argue with Harbaugh, as the Ravens were No. 6, No. 1 and No. 16 in yards under Monken the past three seasons.
