The Cleveland Browns officially announced the firing of defensive coordinator Joe Woods after three seasons with the team. The list of names they have requested permission to interview has started to take form on Monday as well. Though this list may not be complete so far it is a nice list of candidates that should be upgrades over Woods.
Among the candidates, there are guys with head coaching experience, a long track record, and some former NFL players. The Browns need to find someone whom players listen to, someone who is a leader, someone who commands the room, and someone who gets players to buy into their vision.
