Penn State Interviewed Browns OC Tommy Rees Before Hiring Matt Campbell

The virtual meeting underscores strong college interest in the 33-year-old play-caller.

Overview

  • Rees interviewed virtually with Penn State decision-makers late last week as the school finalized its head-coaching search.
  • Penn State selected Iowa State’s Matt Campbell for the job, and Rees remains Cleveland’s offensive coordinator.
  • Kevin Stefanski handed play-calling to Rees last month, and he is expected to handle the duty again Sunday against Tennessee.
  • Rees’ rapid-rise résumé includes coordinating roles at Notre Dame and Alabama before joining the Browns in 2024 and being promoted to OC this offseason.
  • NFL Network reported the interview, and cleveland.com reported the Browns will make every effort to keep Rees and that he prefers to stay in Cleveland.
