Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, citing a league source, reports that the Browns are considering the possibility of pairing former Packers HC Mike McCarthy with assistant GM Eliot Wolf.
McCarthy is scheduled to interview with the Browns on Thursday and has ties to Wolf from their time together in Green Bay.
While Wolf was hired by John Dorsey, the Browns have elected to retain him, depending on who they hire as their next head coach.
McCarthy has made it clear that he’s looking to get back into the NFL after sitting out the 2019 season. He has already interviewed twice for the Panthers’ job and is also scheduled to meet with the Giants.
McCarthy, 55, began his NFL coaching career with the Chiefs back in 1993 as an offensive quality control coordinator. He bounced around with the Packers, Saints and 49ers before the Packers hired him as their head coach in 2006.
The Packers made the decision to move on from McCarthy following their disappointing loss to the Cardinals in Week 13 of last year.
During his 13-year tenure in Green Bay, McCarthy has led the Packers to a record of 125-77-2 (61.8 percent), which includes nine playoff appearances and a Super Bowl title in 2010.
