Browns Insider Shares Details About The Latest Coach Staff Member.

 

 

 

Andrew Berry told the press he didn’t want to talk about the Cleveland Browns’ coaching staff just yet.

He prefers to wait until the entire unit is in place and make one big announcement.

But that won’t stop the NFL from leaking news regarding the Browns and every other team in advance.

And one such source told Cleveland.com’s Mark Kay Cabot who will replace Stump Mitchell.

According to Cabot, the Browns will go with Duce Staley as their running backs coach.

Staley held the same position for the Carolina Panthers last season.

That team is still searching for a new head coach and staff after the midseason firing of Frank Reich.

Prior to that, Staley spent two seasons as the running backs coach for the Detroit Lions.

And he held a variety of roles on the Philadelphia Eagles staff in the ten years before Detroit.

He also started his playing career in Philadelphia, selected in the third round of the 1997 NFL Draft.

Then he traveled to Pittsburgh across the state, where he was awarded a Super Bowl ring.

Following his retirement, Andy Reid’s special teams staff employed Staley as a coaching intern for the Eagles.

Both Chip Kelly and Doug Pederson, the following Eagles head coach, appointed Staley as his running backs coach.

Staley was elevated to associate head coach after winning a second Super Bowl ring under Pederson.

The “Duce Staley Drill” was introduced to the NFL Scouting Combine’s screening procedures in 2020.

The goal of the Staley-created exercise is to evaluate and enhance players’ on-field footwork.
