Overview
- The Cleveland Browns have requested an interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula for their head coach vacancy.
- The team’s candidate list has reached 12 names between completed interviews and formal requests.
- Because the Rams are still in the playoffs, Cleveland can only meet with Shula remotely for now, with in-person interviews allowed starting January 19.
- Shula is one of several defensive-minded options under consideration, joining candidates such as Jim Schwartz and Seattle defensive coordinator Aden Durde.
- Shula is in his ninth season with the Rams and second as defensive coordinator, with prior coaching stops at Ball State, Indiana, and John Carroll, and he is the son of David Shula and grandson of Don Shula.
