The Browns revamped their coaching staff after a 5-12 season, naming three coordinators with extensive NFL experience to support new head coach Todd Monken.
- On Feb. 20, 2026, the Cleveland Browns officially named Travis Switzer, Mike Rutenberg and Byron Storer as coordinators under head coach Todd Monken during a formal presentation.
- After Todd Monken was hired late last month, vacancies opened as Kevin Stefanski was fired on Jan. 5 and Jim Schwartz resigned earlier this month.
- Switzer, who spent three seasons as Baltimore's run game coordinator, has worked with Monken before, while Storer is the only former NFL player among the three, and Rutenberg brings experience from Atlanta's system.
- The Cleveland Browns become one of seven NFL teams entering 2026 with new top coordinators, aiming to address last season's special‑teams failures that led to a Week 10 loss to the Jets, while Monken will call plays and determine the starting quarterback.
- Only the three coordinators have been officially announced, while the Browns promoted Ephraim Banda, Jason Tarver and Brandon Lynch and Todd Monken said there is no deadline.
