The Browns plan to hire Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski as their new head coach, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Stefanski was one of seven candidates interviewed for the Browns' head-coaching vacancy. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman also interviewed for the position.
Stefanski previously served as the Vikings' offensive coordinator in 2018 and 2019. Minnesota finished No. 8 in scoring offense in 2019 before losing to the 49ers in the NFC divisional round.
Cleveland fired Freddie Kitchens on Dec. 29 after just one season leading the franchise.
