Report: Two Potential Names to Watch for Browns Defensive Coordinator job

Two names that could make sense for the Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator job, per a report.

With the firing of defensive coordinator Joe Woods, the Cleveland Browns will now be in search of their next defensive coordinator. According to a report, two names to watch are Brian Flores and Jerod Mayo.

Flores is the former Miami Dolphins head coach that is currently suing the NFL. At this time, Flores is coaching the linebackers with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Flores figures to be back as a coordinator as soon as next season.

Mayo was a Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots where he played for seven seasons. Since 2019, Mayo has been coaching the Patriots' inside linebackers. Mayo is just 36 years old and would be well-liked by the players surely.

As the process sort of begins, these are a couple of names to just keep an eye on at the very least. It will be interesting to see who Cleveland targets for the coordinator job.
