There haven’t been many changes to the Cleveland Browns coaching staff this offseason, a very welcome departure from the franchise norm. But the team did bring in someone new on the staff.
Jonathan Decoster has been hired by the Browns as the offensive quality control coach. The team officially announced the hiring earlier this week.
This is Decoster’s first NFL coaching job. He spent 2020 as the tight ends coach for Old Dominion, though the Monarchs did not play last fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m very excited and very fortunate,” Decoster said via the Browns. “This is a unique opportunity to join an NFL organization, but especially the Browns and what they’re doing over here. They’re building something special. Getting to work with some pretty famous offensive minds in Coach Stefanski and Coach Callahan as well, it’s an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”
He does have some familiarity with several Browns players. Decoster, 33, worked as a graduate assistant for the LSU football program from 2017-2019. He has primarily worked with tight ends in his coaching career but he played offensive tackle in college at Louisiana.
