Reports: Browns promoting Tommy Rees to OC
Alabama offensive coordinator Tommy Rees speaks to members of the media Sunday, August 6, 2023. The Cleveland Browns are promoting Tommy Rees from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.
Rees, 32, will replace Ken Dorsey, who was fired on Jan. 5 after the team finished last in points scored (258) during a 3-14 season.
The Browns' offense, hampered by rotating quarterbacks and another season-ending injury to running back Nick Chubb, mustered only an NFL-low 15.2 points per game.
Cleveland holds the second overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Dorsey replaced Alex Van Pelt, who was let go within days of the Browns getting routed 45-14 by the Houston Texans in the wild-card round of the playoffs on Jan. 13, 2024. The Van Pelt offense ranked 10th in the NFL in points per game (23.3).
Rees previously served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Notre Dame from 2020-22 and the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Alabama under Nick Saban in 2023.
