Matt Patricia reportedly was in for a busy Saturday, with interviews scheduled with the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins for the teams’ head-coaching vacancies.
His day got a bit lighter when the Dolphins hired Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase as their new head coach. But Patricia’s interview with the Browns went on as planned, the team confirmed Saturday afternoon.
Patricia was the fifth person to interview for the Browns’ opening, although Gase was one of them. The job became available when Cleveland fired Mike Pettine after the Browns went 10-22 in his two seasons at the helm.
Patricia has worked for the New England Patriots since 2004, and he has been the team’s defensive coordinator since 2012. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels also has been linked to multiple head coaching vacancies, but he reportedly won’t interview for any of them this weekend.
