Add another name to the list of Browns head coaching candidates. NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero reports (via Twitter) that Cleveland will interview Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll for the vacancy.
Daboll has had stints as offensive coordinator with four different organizations (including the Browns, Dolphins, Chiefs, and Bills), and his 2019 season may have been his best. The Bills rushing attack finished in the top-10 for yards (a fact that’s even more impressive when you consider that 36-year-old Frank Gore led the team in carries). Daboll has also received credit for helping to develop young signal-caller Josh Allen.
Daboll also has major experience in the playoffs. The coach has five Super Bowl rings from his various stints with New England (including the role of wide receivers coach). The 44-year-old also won a CFB national championship after serving as the co-offensive coordinator at Alabama in 2017.
Yesterday, the Freddie Kitchens era in Cleveland came to an end after just one season. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, an Ohio native, has already been mentioned as a candidate. The organization is also reportedly trying to secure interviews with Ravens OC Greg Roman and Vikings OC Kevin Stefanski. Stefanski was a finalist for the Browns’ HC job last year before they elected to hire Kitchens.
Browns are in a tough spot. I wouldn’t want that position as a HC. But, if you turn it around, you could go anywhere as a HC and get any price you demanded
They need to pay a established HC and give him player control.
Chip Kelly?
Dorsey won’t relinquish control.
Can Wade Philips please
Get a call!
Guy is not HC material- needs to stay in his lane as a DC
Can we please quit with all the assistants and just hire an established HC that’s what this team needs to right the ship
Agreed.
There’s always McCarthey
Thank you
I’ve been saying the same thing myself
he’s already sucked in cleveland once. isn’t that enough?
Could be Kitchens brother
As someone who watches every Bills game, I think it would be hilarious and a typical Browns move if they hired this guy. The Bills offense is not a good one and they’re in the playoffs in spite of it. If Devin Singletary wasn’t so talented, their offense would be one of the worst in the league.
Maybe it’s because most people can’t name one player on their offense. It’s like the island of misfit toys outside of Brown and singeltary
The Browns should hire Jeff Fisher. He would turn that organization 180 degrees around.
They would go 7-9 every year.
Never thought of Jeff Fischer, I like that idea!!
Bertrum from Jessie?
The Browns seem to have a thing for bald head coaches the last three hires. Just an observation.
Another reason to bring in Jeff Fisher and his mullet!
Please don’t hire Josh McDaniels just because he’s from Ohio. I mean, Halle Berry is from Cleveland so what? Besides, he might have that Adam Gase thing going of being overrated due to coaching an offense led by a Hall of Fame QB.
Team morale would improve 100% with Halle Berry on the sidelines.
Ratings would improve, too.
Freddie Kitchens 2.0
Why not Jack Del Rio.
