Browns head coach search tracker: 3 off the board, 3 second interviews left
The Cleveland Browns got their offseason off to a quick start with the firing of HC Kevin Stefanski and the retaining of GM Andrew Berry. Due to some limitations in the NFL rules, things have somewhat slowed down since then, with a few interviews and reports of requested interviews for the team, all while John Harbaugh was the top candidate for every team, besides the Baltimore Ravens, looking for a coach.
Harbaugh has all but signed to take over the New York Giants job, leaving the rest of the carousel ready to spin quickly. We ranked the Giants as the second-best job early in the process, noting that the three most important things for candidates were:
- Ownership
- Quarterback
- Power
New York has long-standing stability in the owner's suite, believes they have a young franchise QB in Jaxson Dart, and Harbaugh will be able to choose whatever he wants with the Giants, even with GM Joe Schoen in place.
Crossing Harbaugh off of the Browns head coach search list leaves us with the following remaining as either interviewed or requested for an interview:
- Ravens OC Todd Monken - Interviewed. Completed second interview
- Bengals OC Dan Pitcher - Interviewed
- Browns OC Tommy Rees - Interviewed and reportedly eliminated from the search
- Browns DC Jim Schwartz - Interviewed. Completed second interview
- Seahawks DC Aden Durde - Interviewed
- Former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel - Interviewed. Reportedly taking the Chargers OC job
- Chargers DC Jesse Minter - Interviewed. Now being scheduled for a second interview
- Jaguars OC Grant Udinski - Interviewed. Now scheduled for a second interview
- Rams DC Chris Shula - Requested
- Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase - Interviewed. Now being scheduled for a second interview
- Packers DC Jeff Hafley - Secret interview?
We will continue to update the tracker as we have more information.
From the above list, who is your preferred candidate and who do you think actually gets the job?
