It is Tuesday, January 10, 2023, and the Cleveland Browns are immersed in their search for the next defensive coordinator.
This change at the defensive helm of the team is the result of another disappointing season, finishing 7-10 with a roster that on paper seems highly talented.
Sadly, a huge chunk of the season and now the offseason leave fans feeling frustrated and confused about where this team is headed.
All of us going into another losing off-season

In the meantime, DC Interviews are being scheduled, and that is our top story for the Tuesday edition of Browns Nation news and notes.

Flores is a strong defensive candidate, but some believe he may also get head coaching interviews.
The Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, and Arizona Cardinals will be in search of their teams’ next head coaches.

A Season In Review
You could argue that this season was really three separate ones rolled into one.
Acquiring Deshaun Watson in March with all the lingering questions about his suspension and the status of Baker Mayfield’s tenure with the team was the first one.
The second was the portion of the season Jacoby Brissett was the team’s QB1.
And the third part was marked with Watson’s return for the final six games.
When asked about a watershed moment that defined the season, many Browns fans on social media noted the Week 2 loss to the New York Jets in the final seconds of the game.

I had fun up until the last 90 seconds of the Jets game and it was all rock bottom from there.#Browns https://t.co/YgSwq6M8Vy

No one can argue with that.
Happy Tuesday Browns fans!
NEXT: Browns Request Permission To Interview Two More DC Candidates
The problem is that the Browns are not a strong organization. By that I mean very poor ownership. They were in position to draft Deshaun Watson, Mahommes, Josh Allen not to mention players like Rothlesberger, ladanian Tomlinson, etc, they missed all those players. Lerner was bad Haslam is even worse. The city of Cleveland deserves better but they won’t get it. Been a Browns fan since about 1962. Watched on tv their championship in 64! Won’t happen in my lifetime that’s for sure. Stefanski gets fired next year and its rinse and repeat. (Good old Haslams)
