GM Andrew Berry

HC Kevin Stefanski

OC Alex Van Pelt

DC Joe Woods

ST Mike Priefer (retained)

OL Bill Callahan

WR Chad O'Shea (passing game)

RB Stump Mitchell (running game, retained)

I don't think is reporting that the LB coach has been hired. Just 'To Be' hired. And I would think that the DC would have some say....since the HC is an offensive type guy.

well, true, but I would think that's close enough. We'll see - not official yet.

Feeling fairly safe to exhale, after Nfl.com reported last night, that Joe Woods will be announced sometime today as Browns DC ?... Woods should fill in the missing D-line & Lb'er coaching positions at his choice.. Pagac-Stef & Woods have all worked together under Brad Childress at Vikings..

One last coaching spot will still remain... the ever important "QB Coach".. and i don't feel Josh McCown yet throwing his name into that ring yet?

stay tuned..

Well Josh does have the road miles and the bumps and bruises that go along with it. I wonder if he'd be a good pick as "the QB guy".

The knock Talib had on Woods as a DC was taking the volume of calls and exotic looks the Broncos would pride themselves on, and cutting that call sheet in half.

Indicative of a young DC worried about letting his players possibly get beat and being a poor reflection on him., I'm hoping, between player development and growth as a coach, he learns to trust his athletes and balance aggression with patience.

I'll be cautiously optimistic about this one.

49ers’ Chris Kiffin joining Joe Woods as Browns defensive line coach

By Mary Kay Cabot, cleveland.com

19 mins ago

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Myles Garrett and the rest of the Browns’ defensive line will be coached this season by an assistant who helped tutor one of 2019 1/4 u2032s most dominant fronts in Chris Kiffin.

Kiffin, the 49ers’ pass-rush specialist the past two seasons, is joining his fellow former 49ers assistant and new Browns defensive coordinator Joe Woods as Browns defensive line coach, a league source confirmed. Alex Marvel of SiriusXMNFL radio first reported it.

Kiffin helped lead a formidable 49ers defensive front that tied for fifth in the NFL with the Vikings with 48 sacks, including 10 by Arik Armstead and nine by Nick Bosa, the No. 2 overall pick in 2019 out of Ohio State. The attack-minded defense, with Woods as defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator, helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl, where they lost 31-20 to the Chiefs.

Along the way, the sacked Kirk Cousins six times in the divisional round and Aaron Rodgers three times in the NFC Championship Game.

Kiffin takes over a defensive line that features Garrett, who had 10 sacks in 10 games last season before being suspended for striking Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with the QB’s own helmet. The Browns expect Garrett to be re-instated for the start of the 2020 season. The Browns also have defensive end Olivier Vernon coming off a knee injury that cost him most of 2019 1/4 u2032s second half, and tackles Sheldon Richardson and Larry Ogunjobi.

The Browns previously hired Jeff Howard as defensive backs coach, and still have several defensive openings to fill.

Kiffin joined the 49ers in 2018 after serving as co-defensive coordinator at Florida Atlantic University under his brother, Lane Kiffin, the year before.

In 2018, the 49ers defense registered 37 sacks, the most by the team in a single-season since 2013. Under Kiffin’s guidance, DL DeForest Buckner was selected to his first Pro Bowl after registering a career-high 12.0 sacks, the most by a 49er since 2012.

I'm think this new Browns set of coaches is the smartest, most creative in a long time.

We'll see, I think the fans will be less giddy than last year and more skeptical -but- I'll give them a shot.

The true tests:. 1. a .500+ season. 2. playoffs.

I have often given them so much slack, even through 4 and 5 games into the regular season of losing a few...or three...

only for them to perplunk. I think they need to start winning right out of the gate in regular season. That is what I expect.

This one is believable as he has a tie to Woods.

---- edit: it was actually gumby that said it. I originally quoted the wrong post.

My grade is Incomplete

hoorta

My grade- what in the hell is Berry thinking bringing back his pal? You know, the guy who gave the Browns a first round pick for Trent Richardson? Great talent evaluation there NOT Ryan.
