For the second straight offseason, the Cleveland Browns are in the hunt for a new offensive coordinator after firing Ken Dorsey after just one year.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski spoke for 57 seconds before skirting the cameras Thursday morning. He introduced new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, explained the hiring process and — oh, by the way — announced Stefanski would call plays again.
After just one season with the team, Rees made his impression on not only the Browns and head coach Kevin Stefanski but also consultant Mike Vrabel as well. There were rumors that Vrabel was going to attempt to poach Rees as his offensive coordinator, but the Browns jumped first.
There will be plenty to like about Tommy Rees as Browns OC, provided he effectively aids Kevin Stefanski in regaining what the head coach does best.
Tommy Rees knows exactly what he’s getting into. Cleveland’s numerous offensive issues are no surprise to Rees, who just coached the club’s tight ends during a dreadful 3-14 season before being promoted to coordinator for a team still searching for a franchise quarterback.
Rees, 32, spent 2024 with the Browns' as a passing game specialist and tight ends coach. Prior to his stop in Cleveland, the former Notre Dame quarterback has coached with Alabama (OC/QBs), Notre Dame (OC/QBs), the San Diego Chargers (OA), and Northwestern (GA). The Browns hold the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
