Browns Fire Mike Brevert – ProFootballTalk

The Browns fired defensive coordinator Joe Woods right after the end of the season, but it took some time before they decided to make a change at the helm of their respective teams’ coaching staff.

Josena Anderson from CBS Sports reports it The Browns fired special teams coordinator Mike Prever on Tuesday. The move comes about a month after reports emerged that Braver’s job in Cleveland was secure.

It’s not clear what has changed over the past few weeks, but Brown is now in the market for a new coordinator.

Priefer joined the Browns as a member of the Freddie Kitchens staff in 2019 and remained on board through the move to Kevin Stefanski the following year. He served as acting head coach for the 2020 playoff and 2021 regular season game because Stefanski was absent after testing positive for COVID.

Update 9:13 a.m. ET: Brown officially announced Brewer’s departure.

“I appreciate everything Braev has done for this team in his three seasons as coordinator of my own team, but I have decided to move in another direction for the good of our organization,” Stefanski said in a statement. “I know this city will be forever grateful for the job he did as acting head coach in winning the AFC Wild Card and for all his contributions while leading the Browns special teams units the past four seasons. We wish Brave the best in his next opportunity.”
