Todd Monken Shrugs Off Missed Coaches Photo, Puts Emphasis on Winning

He cast the flap as a scheduling mix-up that fades if the Browns win.

Overview

  • Cleveland’s new head coach, speaking to reporters Wednesday, said he “doesn’t give a s---” about missing the NFL coaches’ photo and blamed a last‑minute schedule change while he was getting a haircut.
  • The photo was taken about 20 minutes early, Cleveland.com reported, and Monken said Jaguars coach Liam Coen informed him it was over, with Rams coach Sean McVay also missing from the image.
  • The Browns opened voluntary workouts this week in Berea, where Monken told players, “we’re in the development business and the winning business.”
  • Monken said the quarterback order is unsettled and that Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel will rotate based on daily performance.
  • The dustup drew online jokes but also highlighted Cleveland’s image problem after years of turnover and losing, which Monken said only results on the field can change.
