Just days after his parting with the Tennessee Titans, Mike Mularkey apparently is on the radar screen to join the Cleveland Browns.
ESPN's Pat McManamon reports that the Browns are in discussions with Mularkey about the team's offensive coordinator position. Mularkey was the head coach of the Titans for three seasons, leading them to the playoffs this year before their defeat in New England on Saturday night.
As McManamon points out, Mularkey would bring an experienced voice and play-caller to the coordinator position. He has been a head coach in Tennessee, Jacksonville and Buffalo, and a coordinator in Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Miami.
WKYC Sports Anchor and 'Voice of the Browns' Jim Donovan posed the possibility of a Mularkey-to-Cleveland scenario Monday during Channel 3 News at 6.
"It's an interesting possibility," Jimmy told me this evening. "You just wonder how Mularkey's philosophy of pounding the football would fit in with that of Hue Jackson.".
