Overview
- Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Cleveland is expected to name Mike Bajakian as quarterbacks coach after he recently accepted the same role at Michigan State.
- Todd Monken has filled key roles with familiar faces from Baltimore, including Travis Switzer as offensive coordinator, Danny Breyer as pass game coordinator, Ian Kolste in quality control, and reportedly Daniel Stern.
- Bajakian previously worked with Monken in Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers’ quarterbacks coach from 2015 to 2018.
- During that Tampa tenure, Bajakian worked with Jameis Winston during a record-setting start to Winston’s career.
- In 2025 Bajakian coordinated an offense at UMass that finished last nationally, and he is pursuing a defamation lawsuit against Northwestern tied to the 2023 Pat Fitzgerald firing.
