Browns looking to interview a surprise HC candidate

The Cleveland Browns are now entering Week 2 of the most important 120 days that will revive the franchise, and the interviews for the head coaching position continue to fill the calendar.

So far, general manager Andrew Berry has done a solid for offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz by having an interview with both in-house candidates.

Berry has also completed interviews with Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde, and Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher.

This week will bring an interview with Mike McDaniel, who was fired last week after...

Former Browns QB: Cleveland HC job ‘is the worst in the NFL’

Former Browns QB: Cleveland HC job ‘is the worst in the NFL’

“Black Monday” came and went, and the Cleveland Browns head coach was one of the recipients of the pink slip tradition. Losing 12 games this year and 14 in 2024 was too much for owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam. And so now, the process of interviewing and bringing potential candidates for the position is in full swing.

The search includes names that are both offensive and defensive-minded. It was assumed that Cleveland would invest in an offensive guy mainly because they are usually good mentors to young quarterbacks, and currently, the Browns have two: Dillon...

Browns keeping GM Andrew Berry not surprising, puts him under the microscope

Browns keeping GM Andrew Berry not surprising, puts him under the microscope

The day after the regular season is dubbed “Black Monday”. It’s the day that NFL head coaches and GMs of the eliminated playoff teams find out if their key cards will work after the day is over. Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was relieved of his duties, but general manager Andrew Berry was not. It was a surprise to most people that Stefanski was let go, but Berry wasn’t, since they were so tied at the hip.

Fans tend not to read too much into situations like this, but anyone who watched closely enough knew that Berry was going...

Browns head coach search: Ranking the 8 available jobs

Browns head coach search: Ranking the 8 available jobs

The Cleveland Browns are said to be the Arizona Cardinals without palm trees. Of course, that is meant to be mean. But when your roster doesn’t win and remains on the sidelines, rooting for NFL draft positioning, while each year’s playoffs get rolling, insults are going to be a part of life.

Browns’ fans are cynical. They know their team isn’t good and won’t go anywhere anytime soon. They expect defeat and failure. They don’t trust the system and know that sooner or later, whatever is going on will end in sneering and disparaging treatment of their own loyalty and...

Sunday Dawg Chow (1/11): Everyone gets a HC interview!

It may be the weekend, but when you are Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry, this is not a time to be taking off.

The Browns closed out the early stages of the “120 days that are crucial to the organization” with the opening salvo of interviews for the vacant head coaching position. Cleveland so far has interviewed in-house candidates Tommy Rees and Jim Schwartz, and Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde, and Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher.

Berry has also requested permission to interview Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, and...

This was the first time since the 2018 season that the Bears finished with an above .500 record, and they were really rocking for a good stretch of the season. After an 0-2 start, they won 9 of their next 10 games to have a 9-3 record. They, things looked to hit a...

Los Angeles Rams vs. Carolina Panthers – Browns fans’ open thread

The Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs kicks off today at 4:30 PM ET as the Los Angeles Rams take on the Carolina Panthers. The game will air on Channel 8.1, your FOX affiliate, with the action being called by Joe Davis and Greg Olsen.

The Rams were in the toughest division in football this year, the NFC West, which is represented by the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks, themselves, and the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams were oh-so-close to obtaining the top seed in the NFC a few weeks ago, in the Game of the Year against Seattle. The Rams...

Browns, John Harbaugh: A Saturday update that isn’t surprising, but notable in the head coaching search

The Cleveland Browns are officially in on trying to hire John Harbaugh to be their next head coach and replace Kevin Stefanski. Once Harbaugh became available, the Browns would have been failing if they had not done at least their due diligence to see if the former Baltimore Ravens head coach was interested in their job. Oftentimes, behind-the-scenes conversations are had before any official or unofficial request becomes public.

There are a few reasons that Harbaugh might want to come back to his home area to coach Cleveland, but the veteran delayed any immediate interviews for a chance to make...

Browns 2026 NFL draft order: NFL playoff rooting guide, Wild Card weekend

Browns 2026 NFL draft order: NFL playoff rooting guide, Wild Card weekend

The NFL playoffs, for the second straight season, do not include the Cleveland Browns. Instead, Browns fans are focused on the team’s head coaching search, looking at the roster, discussing QB options, and looking ahead to the 2026 NFL draft.

After winning the last two games of the 2025 regular season, Cleveland dropped from what would have been the top overall pick down to the sixth spot with their top selection. The Browns also have the first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that part of the draft order will not be decided until the Jags are eliminated from the...

Cleveland Browns fans express whether Andrew Berry should have been fired, and who the next head coach should be

During the offseason, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.

The Browns are coming off a season-ending victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. However, fan confidence decreased by 26 percentage points down to 21%. There’s a mix of reasons why the drop may have happened — you have the team firing head coach Kevin Stefanski, which creates some uncertainty for the future direction of the team. You have Shedeur Sanders not getting to look very sharp as the season came to a close. Even though **Myles...
