Browns Advance HC Search With Second Interviews as Dolphins Eye Jeff Hafley, Titans Set Finalists

Rooney Rule requirements with playoff interview windows now set the pace.

Overview

  • The Browns scheduled in-person follow-ups with Jim Schwartz on Monday and Todd Monken on Tuesday, with Grant Udinski and Nate Scheelhaase also set for second interviews and Mike McDaniel remaining in the mix.
  • Reporting indicates Cleveland has trimmed its list to five candidates, and in-person sessions with McDaniel and Scheelhaase would help meet the league’s minority interview mandate before a hire.
  • Green Bay defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is described as a frontrunner for the Dolphins and has a second interview Monday, though Miami must complete two in-person minority interviews before any offer.
  • Tennessee’s search has coalesced around three known finalists—Robert Saleh, Matt Nagy and Jeff Hafley—with an in-person meeting moved up for Saleh on Monday and Nagy slated for Tuesday.
  • With John Harbaugh to the Giants and Kevin Stefanski to the Falcons confirmed, ripple effects include Tommy Rees not expecting a Browns second interview and potentially pursuing coordinator opportunities elsewhere.
