Report: Browns Have Strong Interest in Urban Meyer for Head Coach Vacancy

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

The Cleveland Browns have strong interest in former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer as they look for a replacement for Freddie Kitchens, according to FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman. Kitchens was fired on Sunday following a 6–10 finish to the regular season.

Meyer, 55, has never coached in the NFL and has been retired since the 2018 season due to health reasons. In his 17 years of coaching at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State, he finished with a 187–32 record and three national championships.

Albert Breer of The MMQB says a lot would have to fall in place for Meyer to take the job and a potential hiring was more likely before the team parted ways with general manager John Dorsey.
