According to Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot, the team is missing one key assistant coach:
“The Browns need a seasoned, experienced defensive backs coach… someone who can help Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome II, and the rest of the secondary reach their full potential.”
Cabot suggests that the current coaching staff lacks a specialist with extensive experience in developing defensive backs. This shortfall might be hindering the team’s pass defense.
Potential candidates for the role could include:
1. Experienced NFL defensive backs coaches
2. Former NFL defensive backs with coaching experience
3. Successful collegiate defensive backs coaches
Some possible names mentioned by Cabot and other analysts include:
1. Tim Lewis (former NFL defensive backs coach)
2. Emmitt Thomas (former NFL defensive backs coach)
3. Jon Hoke (former NFL defensive backs coach)
The Browns’ front office may consider hiring a seasoned defensive backs coach to bolster their coaching staff and enhance the team’s pass defense.
