Browns' Jimmy Haslam Eyes HC with NFL Experience Amid Urban Meyer Rumors

Despite reports linking the Cleveland Browns with former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, owner Jimmy Haslam appears to be looking in another direction for the team's next head coach.

"Right now we're just focusing on people with NFL coaching experience," Haslam said Thursday, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports previously reported the Browns have "strong interest" in Meyer, who retired after the 2018 season.

While Meyer has been one of the most successful college football coaches in the past two decades, he has never spent time in the NFL.
