The fact that his personnel decisions and play-calling helped drive the Cleveland Browns to a 5-3 record in the second half of last season had a lot to do with why Freddie Kitchens was given the vacant head coaching job this offseason. He personally let it be known that he would continue to call the plays. But the team still hired an offensive coordinator anyway.
That would be Todd Monken. And to hear him talk, it’s hard to clearly envision what his role is going to be as differentiated from the responsibilities as all of the other coaches.
