It\u2019s also worth noting that bringing McDaniels in-person would satisfy 1 of 2 Rooney rule requirements of interviewing minority candidates. Only in-person interviews go toward meeting that requirement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Browns have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/cleveland-browns-coaching-staff\/115373\/browns-head-coach-search-tracker-updated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">casting a wide range of interviews<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t mean they will rush to pull the trigger on someone yet. They have also shown interest in coordinators or assistants on the Seahawks and Rams, two teams who are still alive in the playoffs. They\u2019ve also seen a couple of vacancies filled \u2014 John Harbaugh went to the Giants and Kevin Stefanski went to the Falcons \u2014 which narrows the list of available head coaching jobs across the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What do you think, Browns fans?
