Cleveland Browns is likely to lose there coach for $99.7 million signing in place of…
The Cleveland Browns made another coaching staff change this offseason.
The team reportedly hired ex-Houston Texans defensive line coach Jacques Cesaire for the same role in Cleveland, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
While Cesaire will take over the role previously held by Ben Bloom, multiple reports indicate Bloom could remain with the team in a different role. Cleveland.
com’s Mary Kay Cabot believes Bloom could shift into a run game coordinator position – a role he held two from 2021-2022.
Cesaire spent the past two seasons with the Texans for Lovie Smith and then DeMeco Ryans. But his contract was reportedly not renewed after the 2023 season, according to KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson.
The Texans had a solid defensive line in 2023 both on the interior and on the edges. Will Anderson Jr. and Jonathan Greenard combined for 19.5 sacks, while defensive tackles Sheldon Rankins and Maliek Collins tallied 11 sacks between the two of them.
Cesaire is a former NFL defensive lineman himself who spent nine seasons with the then-San Diego Chargers from 2003 to 2011.
He tallied 12.5 career sacks and 220 combined tackles.
This isn’t much of a surprise as the Eagles are now looking for a new offensive coordinator to replace the recently fired Brian Johnson.
When explaining the role of the next OC, head coach Nick Sirianni mentioned coaching the quarterback specifically.
We’re working on getting the best guy in here for the job and a guy who has a vision,” Sirianni said, “a guy who’s going to call the plays, a guy who’s going to be able to coach the quarterback in the same sense there.”
Last offseason, Johnson was promoted from QBs coach to OC and then Tanney was promoted from his position as assistant QBs coach.
The Eagles weren’t awful on offense in 2023 but there was some clear regression and that included the quarterback position.
Before the Eagles’ late-season slide, Hurts was actually an MVP front-runner but that evaporated pretty quickly.
