Watkins: "The Browns couldn’t change their outlook with a singular hire. Only the right quarterback can save a spiraling franchise with one move. And in this regard, Monken has something in common with Belichick, Reid and the rest of the coaching community."

"I’m not going to bury the Browns on this. I would have preferred Monken as the Offensive Coordinator with Schwartz. My guess is he would have passed on that job and gone with Harbaugh in New York. I like the fact that the Browns went with an experienced coach, especially on offense."
Why Todd Monken wasn’t my top choice; and why did the Browns choose him over Jim Schwartz? Terry Pluto
If it’s true Jim Schwartz leaves, it’s a major loss for the Browns. He has a year left on his contract, so we’ll see how this works out.

"Monken might actually be the right compromise -- a coach who has shown high offensive acumen and doesn’t have many more head coaching opportunities coming his way. It’s a marriage of convenience, and everyone invited to the wedding can see that," writes Browns beat reporter Dan Labbe.
Why the Browns’ choice of Todd Monken feels more like a compromise than a breakthrough: Dan Labbe
The Browns found a qualified offensive mind, but the process of their coaching search makes it hard to see this move as the start of a clear long-term vision.
