Not only that, but most fans also think that McDermott should be the top candidate on the market for Cleveland to try making a push for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So far, though, we haven\u2019t heard a peep about the Browns bringing McDermott in for an interview. Instead, we\u2019re hearing stories about candidates dropping out of the Browns\u2019 race. In the case of a guy like Mike McDaniel, it seemed like maybe he dropped out because he was taking the Chargers\u2019 offensive coordinator job \u2014 but then came the news that he is still interviewing for the Bills\u2019 head coaching job. In the case of of Jesse Minter, he turned down the Browns\u2019 next interview to accept the Ravens\u2019 head coaching vacancy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As for McDermott, Bills fans don\u2019t seem to be happy about him being fired. We haven\u2019t heard any other teams linked to McDermott thus far, so I think the jury is still out. He would clearly be a top candidate for the remaining teams needing a coach, but the question is, will he be wanting a job, or will he hold steady until another year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During the offseason, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":701037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2054],"tags":[86,85,54,85398,2337,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-701036","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-discussion","12":"tag-clevelandbrowns","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115949108195068511","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701036","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=701036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/701037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=701036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=701036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=701036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
