Browns Expected To Hire Steve Wilks To Run Defense
6 years agoThe Cleveland Browns are expected to hire former Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks as their new defensive coordinator, according to sources. They are close on a deal that should be finalized on Monday. Wilks was a disaster in his first and only season as the top man in Arizona, but he was successful coordinating the Panthers defense in 2017 before that. Cleveland's defense is on the rise with key building blocks in cornerback Denzel Ward and defensive end Myles Garrett. Despite allowing plenty of yards per game, the Browns D ranked second in the NFL in turnovers behind only the Bears.
