The Cleveland Browns have appointed Todd Monken as the new head coach for the upcoming season. Monken will oversee an offense with an average age of 25.11, the second-youngest in the NFL. The decision comes after a challenging 2025 season where the team ranked 31st in scoring. Monken, at 61, aims to transform this young group into an effective scoring unit, with expectations set high by the franchise, especially after moving on from former coach Kevin Stefanski.
