Jauron will be jumping from Philly, where he was believed to be a candidate to run the team’s defense, to Cleveland. “There were many elements of this job that were attractive for me,” Jauron said. “I believe that with people like Pat Shurmur, Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert in place, this organization is building a solid foundation. I can’t wait to get started with the Browns.” As PFT's Mike Florio notes, Jauron needs to get started sooner rather than later, given that the Browns likely will be shifting from a 3-4 to a 4-3 front.
