The Cleveland Browns are going to need a new defensive coordinator. This is not a question as Joe Woods will be fired at the season’s end. Not only is Woods’ defense historically bad against the run, but they are at the bottom of the barrel in the NFL in 2022 as well.
According to Football Outsiders, the Browns fall as the 31st overall defense as they are ahead of only the Las Vegas Raiders as a unit. They are, however, the worst unit against the run, as they fall 27th against the pass as well. They rank dead last in Expected Points Added per play as well.
As the Browns look for a new defensive coordinator this offseason, who are the top candidates?
