It is official for the Cleveland Browns, Bubba Ventrone is their newest special teams coordinator and assistant head coach. The Browns fired Mike Priefer earlier this week and quickly it seemed tied to the possibility that Ventrone was available to move on from with the Indianapolis Colts.
Cleveland interviewed three candidates for the position but Ventrone, the former Browns special teams ace, was considered the front-runner from the start. Ventrone’s Colts units were among the best in the league and he was in consideration for the head coaching job with Indianapolis.
Thursday reports came out that the team had decided on Ventronte but that did not become official until Friday morning.
