The Browns crossed a top target off their list of head-coaching candidates Saturday and interviewed someone who fits the profile of an intellectual likely to subscribe to the organization’s strong commitment to analytics.
The Miami Dolphins hired former Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase as their new head coach Saturday morning.
Meanwhile, the Browns moved on with their search and confirmed in the afternoon they interviewed New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.
Gase, 37, was coveted by the Browns, who met with him Wednesday before they had interviewed anyone else. Owner Jimmy Haslam has had Gase on his radar for a couple of years.
