Browns requested an interview with Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for their head coaching vacancy.

11 January 2026

The coaching pool isn’t as deep this year as it was in 2025 when Ben Johnson and Liam Coen were both on the market. That, in turn, has teams like the Browns digging deeper into the McVay tree. Scheelhaase joined LA last year as an assistant and passing game specialist. He was promoted to passing game coordinator ahead of the 2025 season. Matthew Stafford went on to post career numbers this year, leading the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns. Scheelhaase is an under-the-radar name to watch for Cleveland. He will likely be in consideration for offensive coordinator gigs around the league as well.
