– Telesco in the mix: Former Chargers GM Tom Telesco is now a Browns consultant, helping Andrew Berry vet candidates. His NFL track record includes a long run with the Chargers and a one-year stint leading the Raiders.
– Four interviews down, one big name in the room: Cleveland has already interviewed Jim Schwartz (D), Todd Monken (OC, ex-Ravens), Grant Udinski (Jaguars OC), and Nate Scheelhaase (Rams OC) is on deck. Telesco has been in the meetings with in-person candidates.
– Rooney Rule twist: To keep it real with the Rule, the Browns also interviewed Anthony Lynn (former Chargers coach and Telesco ally) in Florida — adding a minority candidate to the slate.
– Slow burn, big decisions ahead: The search has dragged; two candidates have already stepped away (Mike McDaniel and Jesse Minter). With 10 head-coaching changes expected league-wide, the Browns still have four open jobs to fill (Browns, Cardinals, Bills, Raiders).
– League snapshot: Other openings are filling fast. Some early hires include:
– Falcons: Kevin Stefanski
– Ravens: Jesse Minter
– Dolphins: Jeff Hafley
– Giants: John Harbaugh
– Steelers: Mike McCarthy
– Titans: Robert Saleh
🔥 Stay tuned—Cleveland’s hunt is brewing, and the next move could shape the franchise for years to come. ⚡🏈📊
