Cleveland Browns Promote Tommy Rees to Offensive Coordinator

Rees, a former Notre Dame quarterback and Alabama assistant, steps into the role after a challenging season for the Browns' offense.

Tommy Rees, previously the Browns' tight ends coach and passing game specialist, replaces Ken Dorsey as offensive coordinator following a 3-14 season.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski praised Rees for his football intelligence, innovation, and ability to adapt to challenges, including injuries in the tight end group last season.
The Browns' offense ranked last in the NFL in 2024, averaging just 15.2 points per game, with struggles stemming from quarterback instability and injuries to key players like Nick Chubb.
Rees, 32, has a strong coaching background, including stints as offensive coordinator at Notre Dame and Alabama, and deep ties to Cleveland, where he once worked as a ball boy for the team.
Stefanski expressed optimism about reshaping the Browns' offense in 2025, with the team holding the second overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and exploring options to address quarterback needs.
