Cleveland has officially hired Todd Monken to serve as the franchise's new head coach, according to reports. The decision marks a significant development in the NFL coaching cycle as Monken had been a primary figure in coaching staff projections during the offseason.
The hiring creates an immediate vacancy for John Harbaugh and the New York Giants, who are now in search of a new offensive coordinator. Many had expected Monken to follow Harbaugh to New York to join the Giants staff, but he instead chose to accept the head coaching position in Cleveland.
With Monken now set to lead the team in Cleveland, the Giants will have to shift their focus to other candidates to fill their offensive coordinator role. There has been no official confirmation regarding the specific terms of Monken's new contract or which assistants will join his staff in Cleveland at this time.
