Report: Browns in serious talks with Todd Haley for OC position

Todd Haley may not be unemployed for very long, as sources told Chris Mortensen of ESPN that the Cleveland Browns are in serious talks with the former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator for the same role.

Haley's contract wasn't renewed after the Steelers fell 45-42 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in last weekend's AFC divisional playoffs. The Steelers offense under Haley was second in the league in scoring over the past four seasons.

The Browns retained Hue Jackson despite holding a 1-31 record in his two seasons as head coach. He's also been the leader of the offense during that time, but hiring Haley would indicate he's willing to cede control of that unit for next season.
