Overview
- Michigan has expressed interest in interviewing Cleveland offensive coordinator Tommy Rees after firing Sherrone Moore and beginning a national search, according to multiple reports.
- Rees recently spoke with Penn State during its head-coach search before the Nittany Lions hired Matt Campbell, and reporting indicates he would likely take a Michigan interview if offered.
- Asked about the Michigan opening, Rees declined to engage and emphasized his focus on preparing the Browns’ offense and leading the staff through the final four games.
- Cleveland promoted Rees to offensive coordinator in January and handed him play-calling in Week 10, with the 3-10 Browns still near the bottom of the league in yardage and scoring despite recent signs of progress.
- Browns coaches have publicly praised Rees’ leadership and football acumen, and team officials are expected to try to retain him as rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders shows improvement under his guidance.
