Rees garnered attention from teams across the league for various positions but was a top candidate for internal promotion as the Browns considered him for the vacant offensive coordinator position.
The Browns hired Rees last February after he spent the previous year as Alabama’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Before that, he spent six years as a coach at Notre Dame, starting as a quarterbacks coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator.
Last week, a league source confirmed that Rees interviewed for the offensive coordinator role.
The day after the Browns played their final game of the season, a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that saw Cleveland finish the season 3-14, the team fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and offensive line coach Andy Dickerson.
