With the hire of Todd Monken as the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns, all attention has turned to the coaching staff being built out. 

Much of the focus is on whether or not Jim Schwartz will return as the defensive coordinator. In the meantime, Monken has landed on Danny Breyer as the pass game coordinator, a key role within the offense.
