The Cleveland Browns requested a second interview with Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski for their available head coaching position, multiple media outlets reported Sunday.

It is slated to be an in-person interview for Udinski, who also spoke to the Browns on Saturday.

Udinski just turned 30 last week and would be the youngest head coach in NFL history should he land the job. Sean McVay was 30 years and 353 days old when he landed his current gig in 2017 as head coach of the Los Angeles Rams.

Udinski joins Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, among others, in landing a second interview.

Udinski just concluded his first season on the coaching staff of the Jaguars, who were eliminated from the playoffs with a 27-24 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round.

Udinski broke into coaching at Baylor in 2019. Matt Rhule, then the Baylor head coach, became the Carolina Panthers' head coach the next year and Udinski joined him.

Following two seasons with the Panthers, Udinski was hired by the Vikings in 2022 as assistant to the head coach/special projects. He became Minnesota's assistant quarterbacks coach in 2023, and in 2024 he received the title of assistant offensive coordinator.
