CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns will interview former Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to be their play caller.
Shanahan will meet with new Cleveland coach Mike Pettine and members of Cleveland’s front office on Wednesday. Shanahan was fired in Washington along with his father, Mike, the Redskins former head coach, following a 3-13 season.
Shanahan has interviewed for at least two other coordinator positions this month, but was passed over by Baltimore and Miami.
The 34-year-old Shanahan spent four seasons with Washington after two as Houston’s offensive coordinator. He and his father’s relationship with Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III reportedly deteriorated during this past season, and at least partly contributed to the team’s decision to move in another direction.
Pettine hired former Buffalo linebackers coach Jim O’Neil as his defensive coordinator on Monday.
