The Cleveland Browns have solidified six second interviews as they continue to hunt for their next head coach, and among them is Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.
Minter, who has served as the defensive coordinator of the Chargers for the last two seasons after rising from the college level under Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, has been heavily sought after. Minter has interviewed for just about every opening, known for his defensive creativity and how to elevate the premier players on a defense.
Other names included in the Browns’ final list include Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, free agent offensive coordinator Todd Monken, and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.
The Browns have already drawn this process out for quite some time. Let’s hope it comes to an end this week.
