Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski has informed the Cleveland Browns that he is removing himself from consideration for their head coaching vacancy, according to a report from @AdamSchefter. The decision comes as Udinski solidifies his current role within the Jaguars organization.
Per sources, Udinski has reached a new agreement with Jacksonville that includes a pay increase for the upcoming season. While the new contract rewards his recent performance, the Jaguars are reportedly allowing him to continue exploring other opportunities. However, the Browns' search will no longer include the coordinator as a candidate for their open position.
The Cleveland Browns are currently in the process of interviewing several candidates to lead the franchise. With Udinski officially out of the running, the team is expected to pivot toward other finalists. Udinski's decision to remain in Jacksonville, at least for the time being, provides continuity for the Jaguars' offensive unit.
