Ben McAdoo The Next OC In Cleveland?
The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reports that former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo is interviewing for the Browns' offensive coordinator position.
McAdoo was fired in early December after a disappointing season with the Giants. In his time as head coach with the Giants, he went 13-16 and proved to be a horrible fit both in the locker room and on the sidelines.
This isn't the news the Browns fans want to hear after a 0-16 season and if things couldn't get any worse for them, the Browns once again say hold my beer and watch.
Mike Munchak To Get Second Interview With Arizona
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak will have a second interview for the Arizona Cardinals' head coaching vacancy.
The Cardinals will interview others for the second time, but anytime a team decides to bring a coach back for another interview, it means they are a serious candidate. Munchak spent 17 years with the Tennessee Titans before being promoted to head coach in 2011. He went 22-26 in three seasons with Tennessee before heading to the Steelers.
Cardinals Still Considering Steve Wilks
Another name in the Cardinals coaching mix is Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. The MMQB's Albert Breer reports Wilks is still "in the mix" for the Cardinals' head coaching position.
Wilks is 48 years old and in his first year as a defensive coordinator. The Panthers defense didn't miss a beat with Sean McDermott in Buffalo this year, a credit to Wilks. He's well-regarded in the coaching world, with a background in the secondary. Wilks' interview also fulfills the Rooney Rule.
