Cesaire, who spent the past two seasons in Houston, will replace Ben Bloom. Bloom, who started his career with the Browns in 2009 and returned first as a senior defensive assistant and later promoted to run game coordinator in 2021, is expected to take another position on the Browns staff.
The hiring of Cesaire comes just a few days after the Browns hired Duce Staley for their vacant running backs coaching position.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski and the organization will continue working to hire a new offensive coordinator to replace Alex Van Pelt, who was fired at the end of the season. The team has identified several candidates for that position, and the interview process is well underway.
