CLEVELAND (AP) -- Josh McDaniels is back home. Maybe not just to visit.
The Patriots offensive coordinator, whose first shot as an NFL coach didn't go well, interviewed Friday with the Cleveland Browns, the team he grew up watching as a kid in Canton, Ohio.
McDaniels is the eighth candidate to interview with owner Jimmy Haslam and the Browns' search committee, which could be nearing a decision on the franchise hiring yet another coach after two decades in a futile search for stability.
The Browns have no other interviews scheduled at this point, giving McDaniels a chance to make a strong, lasting impression.
