On the heels of a 1-15 season, the Cleveland Browns continue to make changes to their coaching staff.
The Browns announced Tuesday the firing of defensive backs coach Louie Cioff, inside linebackers coach Johnny Holland, offensive line coach Hal Hunter, assistant defensive backs coach Cannon Matthews, and outside linebackers coach Ryan Slowik.
Cleveland replaced defensive coordinator Ray Horton with Gregg Williams last week, after a season in which the team finished dead last in total defense.
These moves Tuesday, which mostly are on defense, are likely to make room for Williams to bring in his own staff.
