COACHING CAROUSEL

Описание: The Browns’ coaching search is officially in full swing—and the list of candidates keeps getting more complicated.

In this episode, we break down every coach Cleveland has interviewed or plans to interview, including Jim Schwartz, Tommy Rees, Dan Pitcher, Todd Monken, Aden Durde, Jesse Minter, Nate Scheelhaase, Mike McDaniel, and John Harbaugh. But the real question isn’t who’s on the list—it’s who actually makes sense.

We start with Jim Schwartz and the uncomfortable reality facing every candidate: the Browns already have an elite, proven defensive culture in place. Schwartz’s three-year run has been statistically dominant, historically consistent, and built to last. If ownership is serious about keeping him, what does that mean for the next head coach—especially one coming from the offensive side of the ball?

Should Schwartz himself be the head coach? And if not, are offensive candidates walking into an unfair situation where “average” offense is no longer acceptable?

From there, we zero in on one name gaining real traction: Dan Pitcher.

We explore Pitcher’s decade-long relationship with GM Andrew Berry, his rapid rise from scouting to coaching, his role in developing Joe Burrow, and why his analytics-friendly profile fits the Browns’ front-office vision. But we also confront the risks—no head-coaching experience, limited time as an OC, success with elite talent, and the reality of Cleveland’s quarterback mess.

This is a high-risk, high-reward conversation about power dynamics, organizational alignment, and what the Browns are really prioritizing in their next head coach.

If you’re wondering which candidates should be worried—and which ones should be—this episode is for you
