Browns Schedule Second Interview With Jim Schwartz as Todd Monken Is Expected to Get Follow-Up

Cleveland is narrowing its head-coach search through follow-up meetings that elevate Schwartz, with Monken expected to stay in consideration.

Overview

Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will meet with the Browns for a second interview on Sunday, according to Mary Kay Cabot.
ESPN’s Peter Schrager reported the team is arranging a second interview with Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken for Tuesday.
Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees is not expected to receive a follow-up after his initial interview.
Schwartz’s defenses in Cleveland ranked first in the NFL in yards allowed in 2023 and fourth this past season, strengthening his case.
Schwartz previously went 29–51 as Lions head coach, and national reporters now describe him as a serious candidate for the job.
