Ashley Holder Talks with Browns HC Todd Monken

  • On Feb. 3, 2026, Todd Monken introduced as Browns' head coach in Berea, confirmed he met with Jim Schwartz but declined to comment on his future.
  • Because Schwartz remains under contract through 2026, reports say he left angrily and told people he's not returning after being passed over for the head-coaching job.
  • Players including Denzel Ward praised Schwartz as 'an amazing coach' and hope he stays, while Monken told reporters `They can be rest assured that we're gonna keep the same system`.
  • Monken has built out his offensive staff but not yet added defensive coaches; key defensive assistants remain, and Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said conversations to retain Jim Schwartz are ongoing.
  • Given recent interviews elsewhere, the shrinking NFL defensive coordinator market narrows Schwartz's options to coaching the Browns or retiring, especially after Raheem Morris's hire by the San Francisco 49ers.
