Experience highlights Freddie Kitchens' Browns coaching staff

Freddie Kitchens wasted no time putting together a strong and experienced Cleveland Browns coaching staff. With the help of general manager John Dorsey, Kitchens hired veteran coordinators and a well-respected offensive line coach.

Todd Monken goes from Tampa Bay to the Browns as offensive coordinator, although Kitchens will call the plays. Steve Wilks becomes defensive coordinator, which means the Browns will not transition from the 4-3 base defense they’ve used. And Mike Priefer goes from special teams coach with the Vikings to the Browns.

"I think what you've done with the coaching staff that they've assembled is there's a lot of experience beginning to develop on this coaching staff," Dorsey said.
