Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed during his final news conference of the season that the team has been contacted by another organization interested in Brian Flores.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed shortly after that it is the Cleveland Browns who are interested in the current Pittsburgh linebackers coach and defensive assistant.
The Browns fired their defensive coordinator Joe Woods on Sunday night after another losing season in Cleveland.
Woods spent three seasons with the Browns.
Flores was surprisingly hired by the Steelers before the 2022 season amid a lawsuit Flores filed against the NFL.
After two winning seasons as head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Flores was fired.
His lawsuit claims racial discrimination during the hiring process with the Dolphins.
The Browns also reportedly are interested in Patriots inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo as well.
