While other teams have already found new names to fill their vacancies in the head-coaching position, the Cleveland Browns<\/a> remain in search of someone to succeed Kevin Stefanski.<\/p>\n

The Browns parted ways with Stefanski following yet another letdown Cleveland season in which the team finished with just five wins and dead last again in the AFC North Division.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Browns shared an update on one of the candidates for the job, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> offensive coordinator Grant Udinski.<\/p>\n

“We have completed a second head coach interview with Grant Udinski,” Cleveland shared <\/a>via a social media post on X.<\/p>\n

Cleveland had an initial interview with Udinski on Jan. 17, and his latest meeting with the Browns was another opportunity for him to make a strong impression on the team.<\/p>\n

As for his body of work in the NFL<\/a>, he was greatly responsible for the Jaguars’ noteworthy offense in the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n

Hired by the Jaguars to be the architect of their attack for the 2025 season, Udinski had a big hand in the team finishing with 27.9 points per game, sixth-best in the NFL.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Udinski got his break in the NFL when he was made a coaching assistant by the Carolina Panthers<\/a> in 2020. After his time in Carolina, he became part of the coaching staff of the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> until 2024.<\/p>\n

If Udinski ends up landing the Browns job, he’ll have his work cut out for him.<\/p>\n

Cleveland has won just eight games over the last two seasons and has an uncertain situation under center.<\/p>\n
