The Cleveland Browns have their man in former Baltimore Ravens Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken. With the news of the hire of the 59 year old as head coach, his wife Terri is also in the spotlight.

Monken has over 35 years of coaching experience and is known for his genius on offense having led the Ravens under quarterback Lamar Jackson since 2023, and before that was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2020-2022 where they won two national championships.

He returns to Cleveland where he was the OČ in 2019, and replaces head coach Kevin Stefanski after a 5-12 season.

The question is will he roll with controversial Pro Bowl selection and fan favorite Shedeur Sanders after he went 3-4 with the team throwing for seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions?

While that remains to be seen, today is about Monken’s hire, and meeting him.

Who is Terri Monken?

We know the coach’s wife is into football like this quote in 2024 when Monken said, “Like my wife says, ‘I don’t know why you don’t just call the plays that work. It just seems that simple. Why would you call anything but plays that work?’”
