2019-20 Coaching Carousel

5 things to know about Browns offensive coordinator Todd Monken

Monken joins the Browns from Tampa Bay, where he helped orchestrate the best passing offense in the league. The Buccaneers also boasted the third-best total offense in the league despite alternating between Jameis Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starting quarterback. Both quarterbacks posted career highs in completion percentage and quarterback rating under Monken this year, and Fitzpatrick also threw for the most yards per attempt of his career. Monken, much like new Browns coach Freddie Kitchens, is an aggressive play-caller. He was recently quoted as saying, "I like having fun. I don't know why it has to feel like such drudgery all the time. Who needs more 5-yard plays? How can we be explosive?

The article on AJC.com I just read said he was the passing game co-ordinator for LSU in 2005-06. I guess his offenses have come a long way since then. His resume looks good. I think he will help make UGA a legitimate threat for the SEC champion and beyond. Hope BAMA is ready.

Sounds like LSU has found a DC.

Is it Kris Richards from the NFL, I think the Cowboys?

Good for Coach Burns. I was hoping he’d stay on staff. He’s one of the few who has stayed the entire time with Saban. I think Jeff Allen and Scott Cochran are the only others?

Wooooow ... wasn't expecting that one. Much success to him and thanks for the legacy he helped build here

Neither was I.

The guys on WJOX earlier today said that Coach Saban was meeting with each player and each coach individually this week. Aaron Suttles stated that he expected some coaching/staff changes coming “sooner rather than later” with at least one headed to the NFL. Landrum Roberts stated later “it being someone that had been at Alabama for a while”. With the staff turnover we’ve had over the last five years, I was thinking “outside of Cochran, who can that be?

I guess Coach Burns was who they were referring to.

Congratulations to Coach Burns. The contributions to this program since he came here with CNS have been immeasurable. A classy guy.

I remember LSU trying to get him a couple years back.

Played high school ball with Freddie (Roach) and really happy for him and his promotion to the Giants.

Were you a Brooks Lion, perhaps?

Any speculation as to who Bama might gain/lose?

Other than Burns?

He was not an on field coach anymore, right?

Correct...

He moved to an administrative staff position two years ago. Kind of surprised, at age 67, he jumped to a NFL position coach role.

Physically he was recovering from knee surgery and couldn't effectively handle on-field work. He's healed and ready to go...Loved Mark Ingram's post to Saquon about it...

Saban is meeting with each coach and player individually this week, so I guess we’ll probably know after that. I assume he may wait until after signing day to let it leak out though.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Other than Burns?

Yeah...…………..as another poster stated, I guess after signing day we will know more

Pretty sure he was, and as an Alum, that kind of makes me feel old.
