Overview
- Cleveland scheduled Thursday interviews with defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees for the opening.
- The request to interview Pitcher was first reported by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, and the Bengals have not publicly responded.
- Pitcher began in the Colts’ scouting department alongside Berry before joining Cincinnati in 2016 and rising to offensive coordinator in 2024.
- Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has praised Pitcher’s future as a head coach and said he does not expect staff changes if Pitcher remains.
- The Browns have also requested interviews with Ravens coordinator Todd Monken and Seahawks coordinator Aden Durde as they weigh internal continuity against adding an external offensive voice.
