That was Peter Schweitzer discussing his new book, The Invisible Coup.

And this has been a weekend edition of Morning Wire.

The team is hiring Todd Monken to replace Kevin Stefanski after a disappointing 5-12 season.

Monken becomes the Browns' 11th head coach since the franchise returned to the NFL in 1999.

He most recently served as the Baltimore Ravens' offensive coordinator and brings prior experience in Cleveland, having held the same role with the Browns in 2019.

He also helped lead Georgia to back-to-back national championships as their offensive coordinator.
