The Cleveland Browns are shaking things up in their search for a new head coach. They've given candidates some serious homework to do. This isn't just any homework. It's a three-part task. First, there's a test to see how well they think. Then, there's a personality test. Finally, there are a bunch of questions about being a head coach and what they think about the Browns. This isn't new. The Browns started this process a few years ago. They wanted to make sure they weren't missing anything important. You see, sometimes, coaches who do well in interviews don't do so well on the field. The Browns wanted to avoid that. The Browns have a lot riding on this. A new head coach can cost a lot of money. And that's not all. The team also has to pay for the new coach's staff. So, the Browns want to make sure they get it right.
But why did the Browns start this process? Well, they wanted to know why some coaches, like Mike Tomlin and Andy Reid, only needed one interview to land their first job. What were other teams missing? The Browns wanted to make sure they didn't miss anything either. The Browns' current coach, Kevin Stefanski, is leaving. He had some good years. But his last two seasons weren't so great. The Browns went 8-26 in those seasons. So, the Browns are looking for someone who can do better. The Browns' process is different. They make candidates do a lot of work before they even get an interview. And the interview is on Zoom. It lasts three hours. That's a lot of time to spend talking about football. The Browns are trying to find the best coach for the job. They're not just looking at interviews. They're looking at tests and questions too. They want to make sure they get it right. Because a new coach can make a big difference. And the Browns want to make sure they get the right one.
