00:00All those Cleveland Browns, you had so many spots open to be an NFL head coach this season.
00:05Okay, we're going to get rid of Stefanski.
00:06Stefanski immediately found work for the Atlanta Falcons because…
00:10He's a known commodity in the NFL that a lot of people believe in, and a two-time NFL coach of the year.
00:14So you thought…
00:15The Browns are like, look, it just doesn't work at this point.
00:16Let's get a clean break.
00:18Maybe go with some young up-and-coming…
00:20We can build a franchise around, and then we went with Todd Monken, which I don't actually mind the decision.
00:25But caught a lot of people off guard yesterday when that decision was announced.
00:29He is a…
00:30He is a good offensive coordinator.
00:32We just thought he was just going to be tied at the hip to Harbaugh and head to the New York Giants.
00:35And also, it looked like maybe the leader in the clubhouse was Grant Udinski, the young offensive coordinator for the…
00:40Jacksonville Jaguars, who would take that Cleveland job, or it was going to be in-house with Jim Schwartz.
00:45It's a defensive team with a defensive head coach.
00:47Let's see if we can run this thing back.
00:49They choose Monk.
00:50And now the defensive coordinator is like, I'm out of here now, too.
00:53Cleveland dysfunction seems to be…
00:55It's at its finest right now, Joe.
00:57Yeah, and I'm…
00:58I mean, it's a…
01:00It's a tough spot for him because he is the only part of that former…
01:05Mufanski regime that the ownership wanted, and quite honestly, Donnie, he has delivered.
01:10The best part of the Browns for how long now has been that defense.
01:15That he has been the leader of, right?
01:16So, you know on the defensive side, especially…
01:20Miles Garrett, that he is a Jim Schwartz fan, that entire defense…
01:25And he thought he was really going to have another shot at a head coaching job, and it…
01:30It was all lining up.
01:31I mean, it was the Browns, right?
01:32He hasn't coached since 2013.
01:35With the Detroit Lions, head coach.
01:37So, all of a sudden, Monk…
01:40Monk gets announced, and then he's like, hey, sorry about this.
01:44He's a little…
01:45He's a little bit isolated, but that's human, right?
01:46I would be shocked if he'd be like, all right, no big deal, I'm still going to…
01:50I mean, what do you expect that guy to do?
01:51Of course he wants out, but he's under contract, and I don't…
01:55I don't know that they're going to hold his feet to the fire with that.
01:57If he wants to go, I'm sure they will…
02:00We'll let him out of the deal, and he'll be coaching someplace else.
