It has been a busy week in Ohio, as the Cleveland Browns hired Todd Monken as their new head coach. In his first meeting with quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Monken made a Ravens draft joke, referencing Lamar Jackson, and throwing a playful jest at his new quarterback.

Monken has had three stints as offensive coordinator in the NFL, including one year with the Browns in 2019. After spending the last two seasons as offensive coordinator with the Ravens, this will be his first chance at a head-coaching job in the NFL.
Sanders passed for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while rushing 21 times for 169 yards and a score. Although Sanders did not have the greatest rookie season, he gets a full offseason to prepare, and a new head coach. Monken has brought the jokes in his first meeting with his new quarterback. Now, he must also bring the results.
