Browns name Tommy Rees offensive coordinator. Former Notre Dame QB worked as ball boy in Cleveland

Associated Press  

CLEVELAND — Tommy Rees went from being a ball boy for the Browns to running their offense. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski hired Rees as his offensive coordinator on Wednesday, promoting him after firing Ken Dorsey following a season in which the Browns went 3-14 and averaged a league-low 15.2 points per game. Rees spent last season as Cleveland’s tight ends coach, working with Mike Vrabel, who spent a year as a consultant with the Browns before being named New England’s coach this week. Last season, he transitioned into our tight end room and with our pass game, and he didn’t miss a beat.” Stefanski also interviewed New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Miami Dolphins quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator Darrell Bevell, Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Charles London and Atlanta Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger. The Browns allowed Rees to interview for North Carolina’s coaching job before the school signed six-time Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick.
