The Cleveland Browns kicked off a new chapter this off-season by firing head coach Kevin Stefanski right after their five-win, 12-loss finish-in. The 20-25 season. They quickly brought in Todd Monkin, the former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator, to take the reins and fix their struggling offense. Monkin has a strong track record, including two national titles as offensive coordinator at the University of Georgia, and helping Lamar Jackson earn, MVP honors in 2023 with the Ravens. Now at 860, he's ready to adapt his schemes to the Browns roster. Rookie running back when Sean Judkins, a second-round pick from last year, shared his take on the coaching change during a recent podcast. He describes Stefanski as calm and reserved, but called Monkin more hands-on, a true player's coach who communicates his vision clearly and even greets, the team with hugs. Toddkins stepped up big after missing the season opener, rushing for 827 yards and

seven touchdowns before a serious leg injury, sideline him in week 16 against Buffalo. Stefanski, who coached six years and won two coach of the year awards, ended with a 45 and 56 record. Heading into 2026, General Manager Andrew Berry is counting on Monkin to steady the ship amid ongoing questions at quarterback. Fans hope this higher sparks real improvement on offense.
