The Cleveland Browns are still searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Kevin Stefanski, but their efforts have hit another setback. Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski has withdrawn from consideration, choosing to stay with Jacksonville or potentially pursue the Buffalo Bills job instead, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Udinski was one of the top remaining candidates for Cleveland. His decision to look elsewhere, rather than take the Browns’ head coaching job, is another blow to the team’s search. Previously, Mike McDaniel and Jesse Minter also removed themselves from consideration, leaving the Browns with fewer high-profile options.
This pattern is not encouraging for Cleveland. Losing multiple candidates suggests that some coaches view other opportunities as more attractive than leading the Browns. As the team works to fill the position, the continued withdrawals make it clear that the head coach search is proving far more difficult than anticipated.
