The Detroit Lions have been linked to three candidates in their search for a new offensive coordinator, and all three appear to be headed elsewhere.
Todd Monken, who reportedly was set to interview with the Lions last week, was introduced as a Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator on Monday. Monken will not have play-calling duties in Cleveland, but new Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said Monken chose the Browns over other opportunities “based on people.”
It’s unclear how serious the Lions got with Monken, who interviewed for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ vacant offensive coordinator position last week and oversaw the NFL’s top-ranked passing offense with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
