Mike Vrabel’s time served with the Browns was always intended as a short-term arrangement. A qualified head coach, he opted to find work in between hiring cycles. Undoubtedly he will field a number of interviews in the coming weeks. But now he can officially begin that process.
According to Dianna Russini and Zach Rosenblatt for The Athletic, Vrabel is now free. After serving as a consultant with the organization this season, the Browns are permitting him to leave now. That means he can begin interviewing for head coaching opportunities as soon as teams start submitting requests.
