Browns promote Tommy Reese to offensive coordinator

Cleveland’s next offensive coordinator was already in the building.

According to multiple reports, the Browns will promote passing game specialist/tight ends coach Tommy Reese to offensive coordinator.

Reese, 32, joined Cleveland last offseason after spending a year with Alabama as offensive coordinator and QBs coach. He was previously with Notre Dame as the quarterbacks coach from 2017-2019 and then as offensive coordinator and QBs coach from 2020-2022.

Reese replaces Ken Dorsey, who was fired from the role at the conclusion of the regular season.

With Reese’s promotion, coach Kevin Stefanski could reclaim the playing field after delegating that role to Dorsey midway through the 2024 season.

Mike Vrabel, who served as an advisor to the Browns in 2024, was reportedly interested in bringing Reese with him wherever he landed. But that won’t happen now.
