Monken, 59, spent the past three seasons as the offensive coordinator in Baltimore, helping lead the Ravens to have the league’s top-ranked offense in 2024.
This will not be Monken’s first tenure with the Browns. He previously served as the offensive coordinator in Cleveland in 2019.
Monken is a longtime assistant coach. His lone head-coaching experience is at the college level. He spent three seasons as the head coach at Southern Mississippi.
He was the second candidate for the Browns’ head coaching job to get a second interview, behind Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Adam Schefter, ESPN’s Senior NFL Insider, reported that Schwartz “is still under contract to Cleveland and the team wants him to stay.”
