The Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement to hire Travis Switzer as their new offensive coordinator, per @AdamSchefter. The move brings a veteran coach with deep divisional knowledge into the Cleveland coaching ranks as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Switzer makes the jump to Cleveland from the Baltimore Ravens, where he has spent the last nine seasons in various coaching capacities. Most recently, he served as the Ravens' run game coordinator, a role in which he oversaw one of the league's most consistently dominant ground attacks. His familiarity with the AFC North landscape is expected to be a major asset for the Browns as they look to challenge for the division title.
The addition of Switzer follows a search by head coach Kevin Stefanski to find a new leader for the offensive unit. During his nearly decade-long stint in Baltimore, Switzer was instrumental in developing offensive schemes that balanced high-level rushing production with efficient play-calling. He now takes over a Cleveland offense that features high-profile talent and looks to take the next step in postseason contention.
