Key twists about the Browns 🎯
– Jesse Minter, the Chargers’ defensive coordinator for the past two years, canceled his Browns interview scheduled for Thursday, targeting other openings instead.
– The Browns’ popularity list looks rough this week: reports say Chris Shula and Jeff Hafley were high on the wish list but didn’t interview, with speculation they told the Browns “thanks but no thanks.”
Shula, Hafley, and beyond 🧭
– Hafley previously interviewed with the Steelers (virtually) but ultimately went on to become the Dolphins’ head coach.
– Minter and Shula remain on the market, and Pittsburgh has shown continued interest in both, with Shula generating especially strong buzz.
Next up for the Steelers 🗓️
– Pittsburgh will get its first in-person look at Shula next week, after the NFC Championship game, as they push to land a top-tier candidate.
Bottom line: the Steelers are in the thick of the head-coaching race, eyeing Shula and Minter as prime targets, while the Browns face a few rejections and a shifting wishlist. Stay tuned! 🏈📊🔥
