The Cleveland Browns made it official on Sunday by announcing that they have hired Gregg Williams to be the team’s defensive coordinator.
Williams, a 26-year NFL veteran who has spent 15 of those years as a defensive coordinator, replaces Ray Horton, who was “relived” of his duties (according to the Browns) after his second one-and-done stint in Cleveland.
“He is one of the better coordinators in the National Football League, and I think that is proven,” head coach Hue Jackson said on Sunday. “The guy has a ton of skins on the wall doing this in a lot of different places with a lot of different players and a lot of different systems.
