Browns coach Hue Jackson witnessed Bob Wylie guide the offensive line of the Oakland Raiders to an impressive turnaround in 2011 and is hoping for some deja vu in Cleveland.
The Browns hired Wylie as their offensive line coach, a person familiar with the situation said Wednesday. The Beacon Journal previously reported the move would likely be made.
When Jackson was the head coach of the Raiders in 2011, Wylie helped them tie for fourth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed with 25. The season before Wylie's arrival, only five teams surrendered more sacks than the Raiders when they gave up 44.
