Cleveland Browns
A significant number of teams, including the Cleveland Browns, have head coach openings as the offseason begins. The following teams currently have a vacancy at the position:
The Baltimore Ravens are probably the most desirable opening given that 2-time MVP Lamar Jackson is the quarterback of the team. Any head coach will be able to come in and know that they will be in playoff contention in 2026. A team like the New York...

In many ways, the first week after the completion of the 2025 NFL regular season has seemed similar to the first week of NFL free agency: Long. In just a few days, the Cleveland Browns fired HC Kevin Stefanski, saw Stefanski getting interviews with a number of other teams, learned John Harbaugh would be available, planned interviews with two in-house candidates, and put in three requests for external candidates.
On Thursday, the team announced that they were interviewing OC Tommy Rees and DC Jim Schwartz.
That leaves interview times needed for Todd Monken, Aden Durde, and Dan Pitcher. [Given the...

The Cleveland Browns head coaching search has officially begun. A few days after letting go of HC Kevin Stefanski, the Browns list of candidates for their open head coach position is off to an interesting start:
Former Ravens HC John Harbaugh makes sense as an option, but he is reportedly going to wait a week before starting his interview process.
While the Browns have requested interviews with the three outside candidates, [partially...

The Cleveland Browns have stayed busy this week after closing out another disappointing season on Sunday.
The club fired head coach Kevin Stefanski after six seasons, kicking off what owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam declared to be “120 days (that) are crucial for the organization.” That time frame will also reportedly include a “heavy investment” on the offensive side of the ball, according to general manager Andrew Berry.
It is going to be a busy time for Berry as he leads the search for a head coach, with a pool of in-house candidates, some fresh faces, and [one longtime foe...

The Cleveland Browns will be interviewing two in-house candidates for their head coaching position on Thursday as the team’s head coach search gets rolling along. The NFL rules and schedule provide a lot of limitations that will likely extend most coaching decisions a few weeks. With John Harbaugh all of a sudden on the market, and the chance that a coach or two who lose in the first round of the NFL playoffs could join him, the delay works out for almost everyone.
Many have pegged Harbaugh for the New York Giants job, but [there are reasons the Browns could...

Jimmy and Dee Haslam finally made the decision to cut ties with the Cleveland Browns head coach, Kevin Stefanski, on Black Monday. The team had 12 losses this season and 14 last year. And now comes the portion of the franchise where his replacement will be hired. But who? And from where?

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry announced this week that the team will make a “heavy investment” in the offense over the next six months.
That investment will likely include a renewed attempt to fix the quarterback issue, which is as bad as ever in spite of the best efforts of rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.
During most of the 2025 season, the Browns were in hot contention for the No. 1 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, which would have allowed the team its pick of the available quarterbacks.
That dream died in the final weeks of...

The Cleveland Browns are ensuring that no one will accuse them of leaving no stone unturned in their quest to hire the seventh full-time head coach since 2012.
So far, on the offensive side of the ball, the Browns are planning to interview offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken. Defensively, the team will interview defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz (a 29-51 record in five seasons as the head coach of the Detroit Lions back in the day) and Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde.
Those are some predictable names, so on Wednesday morning, the team threw...
