McDaniel has since accepted an interview with the Buffalo Bills, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/cleveland-browns-coaching-staff\/116039\/browns-nfl-draft-head-coach-search-when-winning-is-losing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as quarterbacks tend to be key deciders for candidates<\/a>.

The reality is, all that matters is that the team hires a coach who ends up winning games. As Pelissero notes, this is the team\u2019s process that was put in place under Paul DePodesta years ago and was likely one that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/cleveland-browns-coaching-staff\/115703\/browns-sean-mcdermott-bills-rumors-history-andrew-berry\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sean McDermott<\/a> and Kevin Stefanski did well with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What stuck out to you from Pelissero\u2019s comments above? <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Share your thoughts with us in the comment section below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"None of that means anything has gone wrong in the Browns coaching search.
