Browns Rumors: Joe Woods Fired as DC After 3 Seasons Following Loss to Steelers

The Cleveland Browns fired defensive coordinator Joe Woods on Monday morning after three seasons on the job, according to ESPN's Jake Trotter.

When the Browns hired Kevin Stefanski as head coach in 2020, Stefanski hired Woods as his DC after Woods had previously been the Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2018, and the San Francisco 49ers' defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator in 2019.

Woods' reported firing came on the heels of a 28-14 season-ending loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. With the loss, Cleveland finished 7-10 on the year.
