The team opted to move on from head coach Kevin Stefanski after six seasons, and the search now begins for his successor.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns are casting a wide net at the beginning of their coaching search, and many names have already been put on the calendar for preliminary conversations. Of course, a new head coach often means new coordinators, which is why the team\u2019s recent announcement about current offensive coordinator Tommy Rees was so interesting.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns recently announced that Rees will also be interviewing for the head coaching position. It\u2019s not terribly common for teams to do that when they have head coach openings, but the 33-year-old Rees has quickly worked his way up the coaching ranks and deserves to at least be considered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re interviewing OC Tommy Rees for our head coach opening,\u201d the Browns posted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We&#39;re interviewing OC Tommy Rees for our head coach opening<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf0 Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PUqpzqFWXX\">https:\/\/t.co\/PUqpzqFWXX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DDYtqcniVx\">pic.twitter.com\/DDYtqcniVx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cleveland Browns (@Browns) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Browns\/status\/2009354520401465596?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Cleveland\u2019s offense was once again a major letdown in 2025, but things turned around a bit once Stefanski turned play-calling duties over to Rees and turned the starting quarterback role over to Shedeur Sanders. The QB situation left a lot to be desired, which is certainly not a new development in Cleveland, but Rees did a good job playing the hand he was dealt.<\/p>\n<p>Rees\u2019 fate is unclear if and when the Browns hire somebody else to be Stefanski\u2019s successor, but he won\u2019t have any shortage of suitors on the open market if that\u2019s the direction the team decides to go with. Rees is a talented and innovative young coach, and it would be wise for the Browns to seriously consider him as the head coach, as opposed to just giving him a courtesy interview.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of intriguing names available and quite a few teams with head coach openings, so it\u2019s wise for the Browns to be aggressive and act fast. Rees is a viable candidate, and it\u2019s nice to see him getting a chance at the big promotion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Cleveland Browns have a lot of work to do this offseason, and it all starts with the coaching staff.
