Browns ready to hire Pettine as next coach?
CLEVELAND — The Browns’ coaching search — or is it a scramble? — could be nearing a conclusion.
Buffalo defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is the front-runner to become the team’s seventh full-time coach and will reportedly have a third interview with the team on Thursday.
Team officials interviewed Pettine on Tuesday night in Mobile, Ala., site of the Senior Bowl, and although the sides did not reach a deal during their four-hour meeting, enough progress was made to move forward.
The team reportedly interviewed former Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano on Wednesday in Florida.
