The Cleveland Browns are considering filling their vacancies at head coach and general manager by pairing coaching candidate Mike McCarthy with current Browns assistant general manager Eliot Wolf, reports Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, citing a league source.

The two men both worked for the Green Bay Packers for more than 10 years. McCarthy coached the Packers from 2006 to 2018. Wolf joined Green Bay in 2004 as a pro personnel assistant and climbed the ranks to become director of football operations in 2016. He joined Cleveland in 2018 and was retained after the Browns parted ways with general manager John Dorsey on Tuesday.

The Browns appear intent on borrowing from a script that has proven successful for the San Francisco 49ers. In 2017, the Niners hired John Lynch as their general manager and Kyle Shanahan as coach and handed them matching five-year contracts. In Year 3 for the duo, San Francisco is the top seed in the NFC playoffs after a 13-3 season.

McCarthy is scheduled to be the first coaching candidate to interview with the Browns on Thursday. He spent the 2019 season out of football after he was fired by the Packers during the 2018 campaign.

Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta is leading the coaching search, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Cleveland also reportedly requested permission to interview Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
