Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is emerging as a sleeper candidate for the Cleveland Browns head coaching job, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

Josh McDaniels interviewed for the job on Friday, with many believing the two sides would work out a contract before the left the contract. McDaniels concluded the interview with no contract, and no real leaks coming from the Brows with what direction they are planning on heading.

That has opened the door for others like Brian Daboll, who Mortensen reports had a really strong interview. Daboll has been in the NFL since 2000, starting at as a defensive coaching assistant with the New England Patriots. He took over as the Patriots wide receiver coach in 2002 and has been on that side of the ball since.

If he does get the job, it wouldn't be the first time he has been with the Browns. He was the Browns offensive coordinator from 2009-10. He has also been the offensive coordinator for Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, and Alabama Crimson Tide.

Brian Daboll has done a good job of helping develop Josh Allen, and it's probably a key reason he is still being considered for the job. Baker Mayfield didn't develop in year two with Freddie Kitchens and it cost him the job. Whoever the team does bring in needs to help continue the development of Mayfield or they might not be long for the job either.

The Browns have said they are going to take their time with this coaching search so it's unclear when they will announce their final decision.
