The Cleveland Browns have added another experienced coach to the defensive staff. Per multiple reports, the Browns are hiring Jason Tarver as the LBs coach under new defensive coordinator Joe Woods.
Tarver most recently served as the defensive coordinator for Vanderbilt, where he spent two seasons. The 45-year-old has coached linebackers in the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers in two separate stints. He also had three seasons (2012-2014) as the DC of the Oakland Raiders.
Tarver replaces Al Holcomb, who also served with the title of run game coordinator.
No word on the fate of Fred Pagac, who was widely mentioned in reports on Friday to be the new LB coach.
