Browns Head Coach Search: Jim Schwartz vs Rising Offensive Minds | Dawgland Podcast

Описание: The Cleveland Browns head coaching search is heating up, and the finalists are starting to take shape. On today’s episode of The Dawgland Podcast, Anthony Joki and Jackson McCurry break down the Browns’ second-round head coaching interviews, including Jim Schwartz, Grant Udinski, Nate Scheelhaase, and Todd Monken.
We debate whether Cleveland should prioritize continuity and accountability with Schwartz, or swing big on a young offensive mind to finally stabilize the quarterback position. We also dig into staff-building concerns, offensive play-calling responsibilities, and how the Browns’ uncertain QB situation could impact their final decision.
If you’re a Browns fan trying to make sense of the process, the patience required, and what direction this franchise should take—this episode is for you.

Go Browns.
