McCarthy has served as Brown’s offensive line coach for the past five seasons. Prior to coaching at Brown, McCarthy spent time in the NFL working for the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions. He also coached at Tulane, Western Michigan and North Carolina Central before joining the Brown staff.
