There has been a lot going on since the Cleveland Browns made Todd Monken their next head coach a few weeks ago. In the end, DC Jim Schwartz’s departure from the team became the biggest storyline, but Monken has stayed busy trying to fill his staff, including the now vacant defensive coordinator position.
The Monken hire has not been graded well, but there is little doubt about his history of improving offenses as an assistant coach. Now, it is his job to fill out a staff with assistants that can help him do the same thing, as well as keep the defense at a high level, in Cleveland.

The Browns do not traditionally make their coaching staff official until right before the NFL combine at the end of February. Based on reports, this is what we know about Monken’s staff:
As for the open defensive coordinator position, there have been reports that Monken has either spoken to, plans to interview, or interviewed:
-
Aubrey Pleasant, assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams
-
Cory Undlin, pass game coordinator for the Houston Texans
With the NFL combine just two weeks away, we should get even more clarity on Monken’s Browns staff soon.
