Key Points:
- The Cleveland Browns have officially interviewed nine head coaching candidates, including a scheduled second interview for defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz despite his previous struggles as a head coach.
- Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will not receive a second interview and is unlikely to remain with the Browns next season.
- The Browns' announcement of interviews is not mandatory but serves to communicate progress to fans, suggesting there may be additional unreported interviews.
- Reports indicate that Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, a former Browns secondary coach and current Miami Dolphins coaching frontrunner, has interviewed with Cleveland, marking a notable development in the coaching search.
- The legitimacy of Hafley’s interview with the Browns is uncertain, prompting discussion among fans regarding whether it was a secret
