    This is my concern.

    Last year, I was on board with trading him, if the Browns could get value.

    Now, I'd like to see another HOFer spend his entire career in Cleveland. 

    I hope MG still wants to play in Cleveland.

      I would have been happy if we hired Nate Scheelhaase instead, but this is sad.

      Silver lining is maybe this gets AB out of here and one can only hope JH sells.

        If this fails then yeah I dont think you can defend AB anymore. This is such an underwhelming move.

            Coming in today, I think many folks believed the Steeler had made the worst HC hire. The Browns said hold my beer.

              "This indicates that Haslam was never comfortable with Shceelhaase and he went against the recommendation of his search committee leader and GM," - @TonyGrossi on the Browns hiring Todd Monken.

                  They will be looking for a new head coach, and hopefully a new GM next year

                  Man, this defense had FUN playing together last year regardless of the score which was a reflection of the DC that fell on the blind eyes of Berry & Haslam.  That's called morale.  Now that unit just watched their owner & GM piss all over their DC.  They just don't GET IT; and the owner of our favorite team is going to go down as the worst owner in all of professional sports. All they had to do was promote Schwartz and hire Monken as the OC; because Baltimore certainly wasn't going to keep him given the incompatibility of him and Lamar.  I don't have anything against Monken per say; but he seems like he'd be better under a strong HC like he was at UGA under Kirby Smart.

                      That wasn't going to happen.   It was between CLE & NYG for Monken - but only one of those teams offered him the HC position.

                        Jimmy has an uncanny talent for destroying everything he touches.. He is just one of those souls... No matter how hard he tries... He never learns from his past mistakes.. The sad reality is there are people in this world who aren't cut out to be a winner and Jimmy is one of those people...

                            All this time searching for Monken?? I hope this works out but previous history tells me he will fail. What an underwhelming choice. I would rather either of the other 2 finalist then Monken.

                            maybe everyone are getting their panties in a twist over nothing, I said Maybe, But as I posted Monken likes to run a 12 as compared to a  11 personnel which is what I had read haslem wanted the team to run

                                I wonder now if Anthony Weaver becomes a candidate to take over the defense now that Schwartz gave Haslam the finger.. He was Baltimores D Line coach at one time I believe...

                                  That's Jimmuh.  He always knows better than the football people.  He's a PITA.

                                  OK, having said that, Welcome Todd Monken!   You've got a clean slate here.  We wish you all the best and much success!  I'll support you!  But I reserve the right to form opinions as time goes by.  Best of luck and Go Browns!

                                    That's Jimmuh.  He always knows better than the football people.  He's a PITA.

                                    OK, having said that, Welcome Todd Monken!   You've got a clean slate here.  We wish you all the best and much success!  I'll support you!  But I reserve the right to form opinions as time goes by.  Best of luck and Go Browns!

                                      Apparently I can't use any emoji's today.....even though I just got home from having a long tube stuck up my ass and haven't been at my computer since now.  🙂

                                      Ya know, we can all have our opinions on who should've been hired...and we can voice them, go on record with them, etc.  But we should give the guy a fair shake.  He's our HC and he hasn't done anything wrong yet.

                                        do you think people would be happier with the hire if he was 20 years younger ?

                                          Probably.  There seems to be a significant amount of posters here that want a young guy with virtually no experience.  I wanted Schwartz...but at least Monken is experienced.  Although Schwartz is probably gonna be history now.  🙁
