Browns Hiring Jason Tarver As LBs Coach

Nate Ulrich reports that the Browns have hired Vanderbilt DC Jason Tarver as their new linebackers’ coach. 

Tarver, 45, began his NFL coaching career with the 49ers as an offensive quality control assistant before being promoted a few times over the course of 10 years in San Francisco. He elected to depart for the defensive coordinator position at Stanford in 2011, but was later hired by the Raiders to run their defense a year later.

Tarver was hired by the 49ers as their linebackers coach in 2015 through 2017 and was hired by Vanderbilt as their defensive coordinator and linebackers’ coach.
