And those were mostly off-the-field decisions.
Unfortunately, it seems like the Browns struggles to make good decisions and not embarrass fans have already rubbed off on HC Todd Monken. Cleveland’s new head coach missed the annual coaches’ picture at the NFL’s owners meeting because he got the time wrong and was trying to get a haircut. Not only did he miss the picture, but he skipped the coaches’ meeting prior so he could get his haircut:
Monken was actually getting a haircut expressly for Monday’s photo, which is supposed to feature the coaches from all 32 teams.
He thought he had it timed up perfectly, because the photo was scheduled for noon Pacific time. It was even written on the agenda that way.
The photo was snapped immediately after a coaches meeting, which let out early. The problem is, Monken skipped the meeting, in part to get the haircut.
Does Monken missing the picture matter? Of course not. Sean McVay also wasn’t there. The issue is that the Browns history is full of “LOL” moments at the expense of the team. Also, for Monken to share the reason he missed, and for it to be so simple and silly, just adds to the embarrassment.
Do you care at all about why Monken missed the picture? At this point, do you just expect silly, stupid and/or embarrassing decisions by the team or are you still surprised?
