Cleveland Browns: Tommy Rees Is Elevated to Offensive Coordinator
The Browns have hired their next offensive coordinator from within. Tommy Rees has been elevated from Tight Ends Coach/Pass Game Specialist to Offensive Coordinator, the team announced.
“Tommy has an incredible football mind,” Head Coach Kevin Stefanski said. “He is extremely bright and has been around the game his entire life. Before joining our staff, he established himself as one of the top assistant coaches in college football. Last season, he transitioned into our tight end room and with our pass game, and he didn’t miss a beat.
“Due to injuries, there was a lot of uncertainty at tight end, but Tommy did a phenomenal job with that group and always had his players ready for gameday, despite, in some cases, only being with the team for a short period of time.”
Stefanski did not announce whether he or Rees would call plays next season. Last season, Stefanski called plays for the first seven games, then handed those duties to Ken Dorsey, who was fired after the season.
According to recent reports, the Cincinnati Bengals are narrowing down their search for a new defensive coordinator to just two finalists. The team has been on the lookout for a new defensive leader after parting ways with their previous coordinator at the end of the season.
The two finalists for the position are said to be highly respected within the coaching community and have a track record of success in developing strong defensive units. The Bengals are looking for someone who can come in and make an immediate impact on their defense, which struggled at times during the previous season.
It will be interesting to see which candidate the Bengals ultimately choose to lead their defense in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
