Report: Browns want to interview Condoleezza Rice for HC vacancy

The Cleveland Browns would like to interview former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for their head coaching vacancy this offseason, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Rice would become the first woman to interview for an NFL head coaching job.

When discussing the vacancy last week, Cleveland general manager John Dorsey said he was open to hiring a woman.

The interview process could even lead to Rice becoming involved in the organization in another capacity, such as a consultant, according to Schefter.

"She's an amazing person," a team source told ESPN.

Rice was one of the inaugural members of the College Football Playoff selection committee, with which she worked from 2013 to 2016.

The Browns issued a statement denying their reported interest in Rice shortly before kickoff Sunday.
