Cleveland Browns not retaining defensive coordinator Steve Wilks

The Cleveland Browns have fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.

First reported early Sunday afternoon by Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, this move has likely been in the works for quite a while.

Just like in Arizona, Wilks lasted just one season in his new role.

The Browns had high hopes for Wilks in their system, but after underperforming in 2019, the former Arizona Cardinals head coach will not retain his position for the beginning of a new decade in Cleveland. Instead, the Browns will elect to allow new head coach Kevin Stefanski to completely overhaul his coaching staff.
