The Cleveland Browns have requested to interview Los Angeles Rams pass-game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for their vacant head coaching position, multiple outlets reported Sunday.

Scheelhaase, 35, is in his second season with the Rams offense, which led the NFL in scoring, passing yards and total offense during the regular season.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford led the NFL in passing yards (4,707) and touchdowns (46) this season, and Los Angeles wideout Puka Nacua led the league in receptions (129) and was second in receiving yards (1,715).

Scheelhaase played quarterback at Illinois from 2010-13. He coached at Iowa State from 2018-23, the final year as the offensive coordinator.

The Browns interviewed Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken on Saturday, and they previously interviewed Cincinnati Bengals OC Dan Pitcher and Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde.

Their own offensive and defensive coordinators, Tommy Rees and Jim Schwartz, respectively, also have interviewed for the job.

Cleveland fired Kevin Stefanski after a 5-12 season in 2025. Stefanski was 45-56 with two playoff appearances in six seasons with the Browns.
