Mike McDaniel, Grant Udinski, Nate Scheelhaase, Jesse Minter set for second interviews with Browns

The Cleveland Browns are advancing to the second round of interviews in their search for a new head coach. The shortlist includes six candidates: former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, and Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken. Scheelhaase's next interview could be delayed if the Rams progress to the conference title game, as NFL rules restrict interviews for coaches involved in those games. McDaniel is also a candidate for potential offensive coordinator roles and is scheduled to interview with the Raiders. Minter has been considered by several teams with head coaching vacancies, while Cleveland remains Udinski's sole interview opportunity so far.
