The Cleveland Browns could be set to lose their second defensive assistant coach this week. After passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach Jeff Howard left the Browns to become the new linebackers coach for the Los Angeles Chargers, the Houston Texans now have a target on their defensive line coach. According to NFL insider and KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson, the Texans are looking to hire Chris Kiffin to their defensive staff.
If the Browns were dead set on keeping the likes of Howard or Kiffin, then they would have blocked them from interviewing for lateral jobs. However, this is a sign the Browns were ready to move on from the majority of their defensive staff as Schwartz takes over as defensive coordinator.
