They could pursue a coach with head coaching experience or take a chance on someone who brings a fresh perspective without prior head coaching baggage. Additionally, they will need to decide whether they want an offensive or defensive-minded head coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Given the weaknesses of the Browns\u2019 current roster, it makes the most sense to hire an offense-minded head coach. Cleveland\u2019s offense has been a limiting factor in recent seasons, making it essential to hire someone with a clear vision who can implement it quickly. This team has been lacking an offensive identity, and their new coach must bring this to the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The starting quarterback of the Browns in 2026 will most likely either be Shedeur Sanders or another young quarterback. Creating stability for this quarterback in a new system will be critical for their development. When a team doesn\u2019t hire an offense-minded head coach, it needs to bring in an offensive coordinator to call plays. There is risk in this structure \u2013 the team could lose its play-caller after one good season. If the head coach is the one calling the plays, they can guarantee continuity from one season to the next on that side of the ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Cleveland already has significant defensive talent, and the coordinator role there is likely to attract strong interest from defensive coaches. It should be easier to plug a coordinator into the defensive system than it would be to do the same on the other side of the ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let me know what you think in the comments \u2013 Should the Browns\u2019 new head coach be offensive-minded?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Kevin Stefanski\u2019s departure, the Cleveland Browns will most certainly be bringing in a wide range of candidates&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[86,85,54,89287,85398,2337,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-658496","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-browns","9":"tag-cleveland","10":"tag-cleveland-browns","11":"tag-cleveland-browns-coaching-staff","12":"tag-cleveland-browns-discussion","13":"tag-clevelandbrowns","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115848358795817439","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
