Overview
- Cleveland submitted the request on Jan. 9 for its open head-coach job, according to multiple reports, and no decision has been made.
- Minter oversees a Chargers unit that finished this season as a top-five scoring defense and top-10 in yards after he arrived from Michigan in 2024.
- He previously helped engineer Michigan’s title-winning 2024 campaign and was recognized as a Broyles Award finalist for his defensive work.
- Because he is coaching on Wild Card weekend, league rules limit access to virtual interviews next week and delay any in-person meeting.
- Competition for Minter is growing, with the Titans also requesting an interview Friday, as the Browns continue a broad search that has included interviews with Tommy Rees and Jim Schwartz and requests or scheduling with Todd Monken, Aden Durde and Dan Pitcher.
