Monken has said his goal was to build an "elite staff."

Watch his introductory press conference:

Needing to replace all three coordinators upon taking over the position, Monken wanted a staff that could develop the Browns' young roster.

“We're in the development business,” Monken said in a statement. “Nobody has a ready-made roster. And whether that's developing a good player into a great player, or a solid player into a good player, or developing the back end of your roster – the guys are going to help you as you move forward – that's the first part in the development business with our players.

"The closer you are to an elite staff, the more you have guys that are not only developers but are also schemers. You either got to be an elite developer or an elite schemer. And the more guys you do that you have that are elite at developing and scheme, the better you're going to be.”

The finalized staff comes in the midst of the 2026 NFL Combine, which began Feb. 23 and goes until March 2.
