Todd Monken is hiring former Ravens run game coordinator Travis Switzer as his offensive coordinator.
This is a photo of Travis Switzer of the Baltimore Ravens NFL football team. This image reflects the Baltimore Ravens active roster as of Wednesday, June 19, 2024. A Ravens assistant the past nine years including the last three as run game coordinator, Switzer played four seasons on the offensive line at the University of Akron from 2011-2014.
He’s one of a handful of Ravens assistants joining Monken in Cleveland, including offensive line coach George Warhop, who was also here from 2009-13. Before the Browns can officially hire Switzer, they must satisfy the Rooney Rule by interviewing two diverse candidates, either a minority and/or a woman.How Bill Belichick missed out on the Pro Football Hall of Fame The Jim Schwartz fallout: Did the Browns just make a catastrophic miscalculation in their coaching change? Monken must also hire a special teams coordinator to replace Bubba Ventrone, who took over that role on Friday with the Ravens. And he’ll most likely have to replace defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who was upset that he got passed over for the head coach job and has told staffers that he’s not coming back. Monken, who’s called plays for the Ravens the past three seasons and also called them for the Bucs, is expected to call them here. Switzer presided over the No. 2 rushing attack in the NFL in 2025 with 156.6 yards per game, and Derrick Henry finished second with 1,595 yards per game and 16 rushing TDs. The Ravens’ ground attack flourished in 2024, led by Henry, who rushed for an AFC-best 1,921 yards and became the first player in NFL history to produce multiple seasons of at least 1,900 rushing yards. Since joining the Ravens in 2017, when he started his NFL coaching career, Switzer has worked his way up on the offensive coaching staff, serving in several roles and assisting with the wide receivers, tight ends and run game. In 2023, when Monken took over as offensive coordinator, he promoted Switzer to run game coordinator, and he flourished in the role. Baltimore’s ground game racked up an NFL-high 2,661 yards and a franchise-record 26 TDs that year, with Ravens backs posting 16 rushes of 20+ yards on the year, the NFL’s second most. The unit posted the third-most rushing TDs and the eighth-most rushing yards among all RBs rooms, en route to an AFC North division championship and the NFL’s best record . During his four seasons at Akron, Switzer played along the offensive line – with 36 consecutive starts at center. He was an Academic All-MAC selection and a two-time offensive recipient of the Harry “Doc” Smith Award , which recognizes the most outstanding player of each class. He earned a bachelor’s degree there in sports management.Mary Kay Cabot has more than 30 years experience covering the Cleveland Browns for The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com, and became only the second female in Pro Football Hall of Fame history to win the Bill Nunn...
