In a sign of things being a little different for the Cleveland Browns in 2026, the team has not made new HC Todd Monken’s coaching staff official despite the opening of the NFL Combine. GM Andrew Berry will speak to the media on Tuesday afternoon and will likely face questions regarding the lack of an official announcement.
The Browns have announced the hiring of the team’s three coordinators:
There have been reports on a wide number of hires that have been made, especially on the offensive side, while Rutenberg has reportedly promoted a few on the defensive side of the ball.
On Tuesday, multiple reports have said that Rutenberg is also bringing in long-time NFL coach Dom Capers to help with the defense:
Capers spent four years each as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans. With 16 years of experience as a defensive coordinator, along with his eight years running teams, Capers will be a helpful voice for Rutenberg in his first time as a full-time coordinator.
Born in Cambridge, Ohio, Capers attended Mount Union College and returns to coach in his home state for the first time in his career.
