Unlikely> Cleveland Browns Top prospect is desirous of leaving due to some team’s issues…

The Browns offensive coordinator search looms large leading into the week ahead, as head coach Kevin Stefanski looks to add a new perspective to his staff.

To this point, five known candidates have interviewed for the gig, with one now off the market in former Chargers OC Kellen Moore, who accepted the same role with the Eagles this weekend.

That leaves a handful of others who are still in play for Cleveland, including some who haven’t even interviewed for the job to this point but could be viable options.

So who makes the most sense to fill the Browns void at offensive coordinator.

At this point Dickerson feels like a better candidate to fill a potential offensive line coach role if Bill Callahan were really to leave and join his son, who is the newly minted head coach of the Tennessee Titans.

Dickerson has spent more than a decade working closely with offensive lines, including the last three as the top o-line coach with the Seahawks.

The problem is, Dickerson has never held play calling duties, and the closest he’s ever come to overseeing part of a team’s offensive game-plan was when he served as Seattle’s run game coordinator in 2021.

In fairness, the Seahawks were near the top of the league in yards per carry and yards per game that season.

If the goal for Cleveland is to bring in some additional offensive perspective that can help get the most out of Deshaun Watson though, Dickerson doesn’t seem to bring enough experience to the table.

Johnson’s first year as a play caller in Philadelphia didn’t quite go as he or Eagles head coach Nick Siranni hoped.

That unit, led by dual threat quarterback Jalen Hurts, regressed badly after making a Super Bowl run with Shane Steichen calling the shots on offense on year prior.

Johnson has a pretty hefty amount of play-calling experience from his time in the college ranks.

He served as offensive coordinator at the University of Utah from 2012-2013, the University of Houston in 2017, then again at the University of Florida in 2020.

In all three of those stints he also help the role of QB coach, which was his original job with Philly before his promotion in 2023.
