Browns set to hire Alabama offensive coordinator Rees as new tight ends coach, AP source confirms

Associated Press  

CLEVELAND — The Browns are plucking an assistant off Nick Saban’s coaching tree. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski is close to hiring Alabama offensive coordinator Tommy Rees to coach the team’s tight ends, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Monday. The 31-year-old Rees, who played quarterback at Notre Dame, ran Alabama’s offense last season and coached the Crimson Tide’s quarterbacks. The Browns have interviewed two potential replacements for Van Pelt: former Cleveland quarterback Ken Dorsey, who was fired in Buffalo this season, and Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach Andy Dickerson. Stefanski has called plays during his first four seasons with the Browns, but general manager Andrew Berry indicated there’s a chance he could relinquish those duties.
