Browns interviewing Mike McDaniel on Monday

The Cleveland Browns are interviewing former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel about their coaching vacancy on Monday, the team announced.

McDaniel, who coached the Browns' wide receivers in 2014, went 7-10 this season and posted a 35-33 record over four seasons with the Dolphins.

McDaniel, 42, led Miami to the playoffs in 2022 and 2023. He was an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers from 2017-21, spending the last year as offensive coordinator.

Cleveland fired two-time NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski last week after he compiled a 45-56 record over six seasons and led the Browns to the playoffs twice.

McDaniel is the sixth candidate to interview for the job in Cleveland, which was a combined 8-26 over the past two seasons under Stefanski.

The Browns interviewed their offensive coordinator, Tommy Rees, and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, along with Baltimore Ravens OC Todd Monken, Cincinnati Bengals OC Dan Pitcher and Seattle Seahawks DC Aden Durde. They also reportedly requested a meeting with Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase.
