| Footballguys view: According to USA Today, the highly-regarded assistant coach has spent the last three seasons with Carolina. Cooley was hired by the Panthers in 2023 as their cornerbacks/secondary coach. He received a promotion to his current post ahead of the 2024 campaign.

He served as a defensive quality control coach, assistant secondary coach, and defensive backs coach there from 2020 to 2022. |
Browns | Charlie Bullen requested for CLE interview Mon Feb 9, 12:57 PM
New York Giants outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen was requested for an interview with the Cleveland Browns for their defensive coordinator post.
| Footballguys view: Cleveland needs a new defensive coordinator because Jim Schwartz says he doesn't want to be back in Cleveland after he was passed over as head coach. Bullen could be a good candidate for the Browns' job, and he is also a candidate to be the Cardinals' defensive coordinator. And, according to Profootballtalk.com, if he doesn't get one of those jobs, he's likely to be back with the Giants. |

Browns | Jim Schwartz resigns as DC Fri Feb 6, 11:29 AM
Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz resigned Friday, Feb. 6.
| Footballguys view: Schwartz was in consideration to be the team's head coach, but they didn't choose him and went with Todd Monken instead. Now, Schwartz is likely to sit out the 2026 season and be back next offseason as at least a candidate for open defensive coordinator positions. |

Link to story Browns | Todd Monken doesn't commit to Shedeur Sanders Tue Feb 3, 01:56 PM
Cleveland Browns head coach was asked if QB Shedeur Sanders would be QB1 for the team in 2026, and he said that it is to be determined. He added he 'absolutely' can earn the job, though.
| Footballguys view: "I think like any position on the team, that's still to be determined," Monken said of Cleveland's QB situation. "Am I excited about Shedeur? Am I excited about all the quarterbacks in the room? Am I excited to coach this football team? Absolutely." Monken talked about what he likes in a quarterback, focusing heavily on intangibles and personality. Meanwhile, the Browns have been in search of consistent, steady, productive quarterback play effectively since the team re-entered the league in 1999. It remains to be seen if Monken can develop Sanders or any other quarterback into that kind of player. |

Link to story Browns | Travis Switzer hired by CLE Fri Jan 30, 12:02 PM
Baltimore Ravens run game coordinator Travis Switzer was hired by the Cleveland Browns as offensive coordinator Friday, Jan. 30.
| Footballguys view: Switzer isn't a well-known name, but he has worked under new Cleveland head coach Todd Monken for the last three years and has spent his entire coaching career in Baltimore. The Ravens had him work with wide receivers for two years and tight ends for two years before making him the run game coordinator, so he has more experience with the passing game than his resume suggests. There's word today also that the Ravens hired Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to perform the same job for them, with the additional duty of playcalling that he did not have under Ben Johnson in Chicago. |

Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will not return to the team in 2026.
| Footballguys view: With Todd Monken hired as the head coach, Schwartz wants out. He was being considered for the top job, and team did not decide to promote Schwartz to head coach. He's an incredible defensive mind, and there will be more than a few teams that are interested. |
Browns | Todd Monken taking over Browns Wed Jan 28, 10:09 AM
Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken was named the head coach of the Cleveland Browns Wednesday, Jan. 28.
| Footballguys view: The Browns finally made a decision! Monken has run strong offenses with both the Buccaneers and Ravens. His offense previously with the Browns (2019) was not as good (of course). Now, he's back as the head coach and has an interesting decision with QBs Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Needless to say, the Browns have a ton of changes to make on offense to be a respectable team. |
Browns | Nate Scheelhaase has a second interview for Cleveland HC opening Tue Jan 27, 12:05 AM
Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase wrapped up his second interview with the Browns for their head coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: Scheelhaase had his first interview with the team on January 16 and the second meeting had to wait until after the Rams participated in the NFC Championship Game. Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks freed Scheelhaase up for an in-person interview, which the Browns announced on Monday evening, and the Browns could also hire him now that the Rams' season is over. If that happens, Scheelhaase would be passing on the opportunity to interview for the Bills' head coaching job. Word of their request to interview Scheelhaase came while he was meeting with the Browns on Monday. The Browns have already seen several candidates pull their names from consideration for the job and they'll have to continue the search process if they don't come to an agreement with Scheelhaase. |
Browns | Grant Udinski withdraws from Cleveland consideration Mon Jan 26, 09:40 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski withdrew his name from consideration from the Cleveland Browns head coaching search.
| Footballguys view: Udinski is still pursuing the Buffalo Bills' job, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Udinski, who interviewed with the Bills on Sunday, has also agreed to a new contract with the Jaguars that includes a raise for the 2026 season if he is not hired as the Bills' head coach. Meanwhile, the remaining Cleveland candidates are Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, Commanders run game coordinator Anthony Lynn, and former Ravens OC Todd Monken. We'll continue to monitor. |
Browns | Jim Schwartz could be retained as Cleveland DC Sat Jan 24, 01:44 PM
Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz would likely be retained should Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase land the head-coaching position with the organization.
| Footballguys view: Schwartz is one of the best defensive coordinators out there. Any head coach for the Browns would be wise to keep a resource like him around. The Browns reportedly want a young head coach, and Scheelhaase is 35-years old and one of the fastest risers in the coaching world. |
Browns | Nate Scheelhaase remains head coach target Sat Jan 24, 01:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase remains a target for the Cleveland Browns for their head-coaching vacancy, and the organization plans to meet with him in-person early in the week after the NFC Championship Game, sources said Saturday, Jan. 24. He already conducted a virtual interview with the organization last week.
| Footballguys view: After joining the Rams in 2024 as an offensive assistant, Scheelhaase was elevated to passing game coordinator while working closely with Sean McVay. The Browns reportedly want a younger head coach, and at 35-years old Scheelhaase is getting a ton of interest in this cycle. |

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski is meeting with the Cleveland Browns in an in-person interview Friday, Jan. 23.
Link to story Browns | Jesse Minter cancels second interview Thu Jan 22, 01:50 PM
Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter informed the Cleveland Browns he was withdrawing his name from their head coaching search.
| Footballguys view: Minter is likely the favorite to get the head coaching job for the Baltimore Ravens, and that's a much better landing spot. The Browns have now had Minter and Mike McDaniel (now the Chargers OC) withdraw their names from consideration. |
Browns | Mike Martz would take Browns job Wed Jan 21, 12:52 PM
Former St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears head coach Mike Martz said he would take the Cleveland Browns' head coaching job in a heartbeat. 'I would take the Cleveland job in a heartbeat,' Martz said. 'You need to change the culture...Kevin (Stefanski) started that. And I think I could solve that QB problem. I could resolve that issue on offense, in my mind.'
| Footballguys view: Martz retired from coaching way back in 2012, although he did coach in the AAF in 2019. He is known for his work with the "Greatest Show on Turf" back in the Kurt Warner days with the Rams, but Martz did not have the same success after that. At age 63, it's interesting that he would throw his hat in the ring. Martz's statement about solving the QB problem is something whoever is hired needs to be the primary objective. |

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel will have an in-person interview with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, according to a source. It will be his second interview with the team for its head-coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: According to SI.com's Ty Kohler, the belief within the Browns organization is that McDaniel can lead an offense at a high level, and with an already strong defense, he could quickly turn the Browns around. There is already familiarity between McDaniel and the Browns organization, as he worked as a WRs coach in Cleveland during 2014, under OC Kyle Shanahan. McDaniel will have several other interviews this week, too. He will be meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders for their open head coaching position, then he'll meet with the LA Chargers to interview for the offensive coordinator position. |

Link to story Browns | Cleveland requests interview with Todd Monken Tue Jan 6, 03:46 PM
Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken has been requested to interview for the Cleveland Browns' head coaching vacancy.
| Footballguys view: Monken, 59, has been with the Ravens for the last three seasons. But he was also the Browns' OC under former head coach Freddie Kitchens in 2019. Kitchens called plays for Cleveland that season. The Ravens have finished No. 6, No. 1, and No. 16 in yards and No. 4, No. 3, and No. 11 in points in the team's last three seasons under Monken. |
Browns | Shedeur Sanders' role uncertain Tue Jan 6, 12:53 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders made solid improvements this season but is still a work in progress, according to general manager Andrew Berry. Berry said he is not sure if the starting quarterback for next season is currently on the roster.
| Footballguys view: Sanders completed 56.6 percent of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his eight appearances with seven starts. He put together his first fourth-quarter comeback and game-winning drive with Sunday's 20-18 victory over the Bengals. With a new coach coming, it remains to be seen how Sanders will be viewed as he competes with Dillon Gabriel, Deshaun Watson, and any newcomer who's brought into the mix. |
Browns | Deshaun Watson expected to be on roster Tue Jan 6, 12:52 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson is expected to be on the 2026 roster at this point, but general manager Andrew Berry said the team will not need to make a final decision for a while.
| Footballguys view: If Watson winds up being a part of the team in 2026, it will be interesting to see how Cleveland's new coach handles a potential competition between Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and any other quarterback the club acquires over the course of the offseason. |

Browns | Kevin Stefanski already drawing heavy interest as HC candidate Mon Jan 5, 04:33 PM
Fired as head coach of the Browns on Monday, Kevin Stefanski may not wait long to find his next job. Stefanski is expected to speak with the Giants, Falcons, and Titans about their head coaching vacancies, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: As PFT noted, reporters on the Giants beat have been naming Stefanski as a potential top candidate for New York for weeks. Now Stefanski is officially available and can speak with the Giants about their opening. A two-time AP coach of the year, Stefanski, 43, compiled a 45-56 record in six seasons with the Browns. The club went to the postseason twice, winning one playoff game in Stefanski's tenure. Before becoming Cleveland's head coach, Stefanski was with Minnesota from 2006-2019, serving in various assistant roles until he was promoted to offensive coordinator during the 2018 season. |
Browns | Cleveland signs four to future deals Mon Jan 5, 03:02 PM
Free-agent TE Sal Cannella (Browns), WR Luke Floriea (Browns), RB Ahmani Marshall (Browns) and TE Caden Prieskorn (Browns) signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Cleveland Browns Monday, Jan. 5. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Link to story Browns | Kevin Stefanski fired Mon Jan 5, 10:31 AM
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was fired Monday, Jan. 5.
| Footballguys view: The Browns also announced that Andrew Berry, who arrived in Cleveland with Stefanski in 2020, will remain as general manager. Cleveland finished the 2025 season with a 5-12 record, their second straight last-place finish in the AFC North, and their fourth losing season under Stefanski. During his six seasons, the Browns used an NFL-high 13 starting quarterbacks, who ranked in the bottom five in completion percentage and threw an NFL-high 98 interceptions. That's an issue that must be resolved before any coach is going to have success in Cleveland. We'll have more on the coming search as it plays out. |
Browns | David Njoku would like to stay put Mon Jan 5, 01:59 AM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku told reporters following the team's Week 18 win against the Cincinnati Bengals that he would like to remain with the team even as he is set to become a free agent this offseason.
| Footballguys view: "I do (want to return to Cleveland), but it's not up to me," the 29-year-old said. Njoku has played 118 games, caught 384 catches for 4,062 yards with 34 touchdowns -- all as a member of the Browns, who drafted him in the first round in 2017. The team took a chance on a tight end with hopes that he could be a pivotal member of the offense for years to come. While the Browns fired HC Kevin Stefanski Monday, GM Andrew Berry will remain. That could work in Njoku's favor, although the emergence of Harold Fannin Jr. does not. |
