Could Jim Schwartz or Tommy Rees FIX the Cleveland Browns if they get hired as the new head coach?

The Browns fired head coach Kevin Stefanski on Monday, but it’s possible his replacement will come from the staff he assembled. The team will conduct head coaching interviews with defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees on Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports. While the Browns will discuss the position with Schwartz and Rees, they’re also hoping to meet with Bengals O-coordinator Dan Pitcher. The Browns have requested an interview with Pitcher, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

The 59-year-old Schwartz is the lone member of this trio with head coaching experience. He spent five years as Detroit’s head coach from 2009-13, though success largely eluded the franchise during that stretch. | https://www.profootballrumors.com/2026/01/browns-to-hold-hc-interviews-with-jim-schwartz-tommy-rees-interview-requested-with-bengals-dan-pitcher

  1. Interesting take! I think Tyvis made a great point about our oc and dc! Regardless, let's do everything we can to get Harbaugh!!! Ravens were SPOILED to let him go……

  2. Once again, Tyvis is right. It makes no sense to fire Stefanski and promote one of his assistants. They need a hard reset. Low key, I like Durde #1 or Minter #2 and bring in Mike McDaniel at OC. IF they can't get Harbaugh. Just assume Schwartz is gone, as much as it hurts. They have no chance to win more than 8 games next year, probably going to go 7-9 IF they get a decent draft.

  3. Yes you can do that Bull to let go of Schwartz is crazy to the new HC i'd say find a better availavle DC and he couldnt . Screw the HC buddies the best man for the job gets the job if he says no ok good bye your not our guy then.

  4. 10:35 yeah, you never hear anything good about Cleveland around the country. That goes for city, residents, business and sports. I’m not saying it’s right but if you say you’re going to Cleveland people are like, “Cleveland? Why would you go there?”

  5. Arizona is better then Miami and thwy are better then Cleveland .To expect the new coach to win 7 games is moronic could he sure he might win 10 but that he must is flat out 100 % wrong.

  6. Schwartz is the coach they interviewing offensive coordinators and the Rooney rule. Only elite head coach's can interview. They have to show the team that they listened to them about Schwartz.

  7. Hire Schwartz as HC and Tommy as OC and let’s keep it pushing. The defense is set and Tommy Rees and Shedeur work well together. Alternative hire Schwartz as HC and Schwartz picks his staff.
