Grant Udinski Exits Browns Head Coaching Pursuit

Grant Udinski Exits Browns Head Coaching Pursuit

Grant Udinski will not be the next head coach for the Cleveland Browns. The 30-year-old offensive coordinator has officially withdrawn his candidacy for the position. This decision comes after he secured a new contract to continue his role with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Udinski’s Coaching Journey

Despite stepping back from the Browns’ head coaching search, Udinski remains in the running for the Buffalo Bills’ vacancy. He interviewed with Cleveland twice and was considered a strong candidate for the role.

Remaining Candidates for the Browns

With Udinski out of the picture, the Browns’ search continues. The following individuals are still in contention:

  • Jim Schwartz – Defensive Coordinator
  • Todd Monken – Former Ravens Offensive Coordinator
  • Anthony Lynn – Commanders Run Game Coordinator
  • Nate Scheelhaase – Rams Passing Game Coordinator

Ongoing Interviews

Cleveland’s management is actively evaluating these candidates. Reports indicate that they are set to interview Scheelhaase in person following the Rams’ recent defeat in the NFC Championship Game.

Coaching Changes in Cleveland

This coaching search comes on the heels of the Browns parting ways with Kevin Stefanski. He served as the team’s head coach for six seasons. Following his exit, Stefanski has been announced as the new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

The Browns’ head coaching vacancy remains a key focus for the organization as they seek to find a replacement capable of leading the team effectively.
