Browns Interview Rams’ Coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for Second Time

The Cleveland Browns are actively seeking their next head coach and have recently conducted a second interview with Rams’ pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase. This marks a significant step in the Browns’ recruitment process, as they continue to explore options for the managerial role.

Browns Conduct Second Interview with Nate Scheelhaase

Nate Scheelhaase first interviewed with the Browns on January 16. His second meeting was delayed until after the conclusion of the Rams’ season. The Rams were eliminated from the playoffs following their NFC Championship Game loss to the Seattle Seahawks, which ended with a close score of 31-27.

Potential Coaching Move

The Browns’ interview took place on Monday evening, allowing Scheelhaase to meet with the team in person. Following the Rams’ exit from the playoffs, Scheelhaase is now available for potential hiring. If an agreement is reached, he will forgo the opportunity to interview for the head coaching position with the Buffalo Bills.

Status of Other Candidates

• The Browns have faced challenges in securing candidates, as several have withdrawn their names from consideration.
• If negotiations with Scheelhaase do not lead to an agreement, the Browns will need to continue their coaching search.

This ongoing process highlights the Browns’ urgency to fill the head coach position amid a competitive landscape for talent in the NFL. The outcome of Scheelhaase’s interview could determine the direction of the Browns moving forward.
