CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns confirmed on Thursday night Rob Chudzinski had been hired as the new head coach.
He was announced to the media on Friday at 11 a.m. in Berea.
The Toledo native was most recently an offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers and when he takes over the Browns, this will be his third stint with the team.
He served as tight ends coach in the ’04 season under Butch Davis and was elevated to interim offensive coordinator in the final few games after Davis was let go.
In 2007, he guided the Browns’ offense as they scored 402 points and totaled 5,621 net yards of offense, both figures which ranked as third-best in franchise history.
Wide receiver Braylon Edwards set franchise records with 1,289 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, tight end Kellen Winslow set a career high with 1,109 receiving yards and running back Jamal Lewis finished fifth in the NFL with 1,304 rushing yards.
The Browns won 10 games, which are the most victories by the team since 1994.
He was also offensive coordinator in ’08 in Cleveland but the points producers slumped.
Not only did Chudzinski hold positions on multiple occasions in Cleveland, the same can be said for his time with the San Diego Chargers.
He was tight ends coach in 2005-06 and returned in 2009-10 as the assistant head coach/tight ends.
Chudzinski will be the 14th full-time coach in Cleveland Browns history.
He spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Carolina Panthers.
Chudzinski attended Toledo St. John’s.
He played tight end at the University of Miami and was a member of two national championship teams.
