The Cleveland Browns are searching for a new offensive coordinator after head coach Kevin Stefanski fired Alex Van Pelt this offseason.
Interviews have already started for his replacement, including a couple of former offensive coordinators looking for new teams after they were either fired or let go after new head coaches were brought in. No candidate is perfect, though, and there are good and bad traits to all the people the Browns have talked with so far.
The biggest question, too, is if Stefanski will give up play-calling duties to his next offensive coordinator to lead the team as a more CEO-style head coach. The next OC’s connection to quarterback Deshaun Watson should play a big role in who Cleveland hires as well.
Here are the pros and cons of the five offensive coordinator candidates the Browns have interviewed so far.
