Rotoworld Player News

Tommy Rees

CLE Offensive Coordinator #6

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reports Browns OC Tommy Rees “is not expected to interview a second time” for the team’s head-coaching vacancy.

Rees is still cutting his teeth as a coach and was always considered a long shot for the Browns’ head coaching vacancy. The 33-year-old joined the Browns in 2024 as a pass game specialist and tight ends coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator for the 2025 season. Now out as a candidate for the Browns’ job, it’s fair to assume his days as the team’s offensive coordinator could be numbered once a new head coach is locked in.
Jim Schwartz

CLE Coaching Staff

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reports Browns DC Jim Schwartz will have a second interview for the team’s head-coaching vacancy on Monday.

Schwartz isn’t the only candidate who will get a second interview to fill the Browns’ head-coaching vacancy, per Cabot, but the longtime defensive coordinator has already secured one. Schwartz has spent the last three seasons as the Browns’ defensive coordinator and served as the Lions’ head coach from 2009 until 2013. Promoting Schwartz to head coach would make for an easy transition for a defense that finished fourth in yards allowed last season and that has been among the league’s best in two of Schwartz’s three seasons at the helm.
Jesse Minter

LAC Defensive Coordinator

Browns will interview Chargers DC Jesse Minter for their head-coaching vacancy.

Minter has been in high-demand this offseason after leading the Chargers to a top-10 finish in points and yards allowed in his second season as a DC under Jim Harbaugh. The 42-year-old coach recently completed head coaching interviews with the Dolphins, Falcons, Raiders, and Ravens, and field eight interview requests in total. He seems like a lock to land a head-coaching role somewhere in the coming days, although he’s clearly taking his time vetting all options.
Nate Scheelhaase

LA Coaching Staff

Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase will interview for the Raiders, Steelers, Ravens and Browns’ head-coaching vacancies on Friday.

This is quite the impressive lineup for the 35-year-old offensive coach. Scheelhaase coached in the college ranks from 2015-2023 before signing on as an offensive assistant and passing game specialist with the Rams in 2024. He was promoted to his current role last offseason.
Dillon Gabriel

CLE Quarterback #8

The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes “it’s hard to imagine the Browns continuing to employ [Shedeur] Sanders and Dillon Gabriel after inexplicably drafting both last April.”

“Early signs point to Sanders getting to compete for the job, [Deshaun] Watson being stuck on the roster and another quarterback addition in the middle rounds of the draft,” Jackson continues. Guess who is being left out of that quarterback room by omission? Gabriel was reportedly a Kevin Stefanski favorite in the draft process and — our speculation, not Jackson’s — might be traded to Stefanski’s new team this offseason. It’s also possible the team gives us another four-quarterback training camp show.
John Harbaugh

FA Head Coach

Falcons completed an interview with former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh for their head-coaching vacancy.

It’s the first known interview for Harbaugh, who apparently did not leak his schedule to the entire insider crew at NFL Network. It would make sense for him to view this as one of the most appealing jobs out there despite the unsettled nature of the quarterback position, as the Falcons tied for the NFC South “lead” at 8-9 this year and have stars like Bijan Robinson and Drake London on tap along with a rising defense. ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes Harbaugh is still in touch with the Giants, Titans, Browns, Raiders, and Cardinals. We suspect we’ll be blurbing a lot more about this Harbaugh character over the next few days. He seems to be the first domino for most coaching searches.
Grant Udinski

JAC Offensive Coordinator

Browns requested an interview with Jaguars OC Grant Udinski for their head-coaching vacancy.

Previously on Kevin O’Connell’s staff with Minnesota, Udinski took over as Jaguars offensive coordinator last offseason and appears to be on a rocket ship up the coaching ranks. The Jaguars struggled at the beginning of season, but eventually ended the year as one of the better offenses in the NFL. Udinski has no real playcalling experience as Liam Coen was Jacksonville’s playcaller and the (sigh) 30-year-old had never been higher than a lower level assistant prior to the 2024 season.
Jim Schwartz

CLE Coaching Staff

Ravens requested an interview with Browns DC Jim Schwartz for their head-coaching vacancy.

They were late to the game, but the Ravens are by our count now up to 12 head-coaching candidate interviews, trailing the Titans by four. Schwartz had an in-house interview with the Browns about a head-coaching elevation last week. He otherwise has not been contacted by an outside team. The former Lions head coach has been an excellent defensive coordinator over his last few stints in Philadelphia and Cleveland. This has shades of the return of Wade Phillips.
Mike McDaniel

FA Head Coach

Browns completed an interview with former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel for their head-coaching vacancy.

That’s the Browns, Falcons, Ravens and Titans with interviews scheduled or completed for McDaniel, who has taken exclusively head-coaching interviews so far. (The Lions have reached out to McDaniel about their offensive coordinator vacancy, but he hasn’t taken the interview as far as we can tell.) McDaniel is probably one of the most valuable 32 head coaches in the league given what he managed to squeeze out of the Dolphins in the Tua Tagovailoa Era, but he doesn’t exactly have widespread appeal amongst the eight head-coaching vacancies. He’s one of the more fascinating coaching free agents this go-around.
Nate Scheelhaase

LA Coaching Staff

Browns requested an interview with Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for their head coaching vacancy.

The coaching pool isn’t as deep this year as it was in 2025 when Ben Johnson and Liam Coen were both on the market. That, in turn, has teams like the Browns digging deeper into the McVay tree. Scheelhaase joined LA last year as an assistant and passing game specialist. He was promoted to passing game coordinator ahead of the 2025 season. Matthew Stafford went on to post career numbers this year, leading the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns. Scheelhaase is an under-the-radar name to watch for Cleveland. He will likely be in consideration for offensive coordinator gigs around the league as well.
