The Cleveland Browns decided to fire head coach Mike Pettine after yet another disappointing season and they are in the middle of their search for a replacement. At this point in time, it appears that they have found a front-runner.
According to a report from Ian Rapoport, the Browns are aggressively trying to hire Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator Hue Jackson as their next head coach.
