The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including Lincoln Riley’s name popping up again in coaching speculation

Throughout the remainder of this season — and part of the offseason until a decision is made — we will hear a ton of speculation about who will be the head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 2019.

We have heard several names being thrown around, with Mike McCarthy taking center stage of late. The former Green Bay Packers coach was recently fired and his connection to John Dorsey makes it seem likely he’ll have a great shot at the job.

Other names of note include Matt Campbell from Iowa State, former Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, and Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma.

While Riley’s name hasn’t been front and center as of late, he did pop back up as Baker Mayfield was asked about his former collegiate coach and the chances he will become the Browns coach.

That story and more can be found in today’s Daily Dawg Tags.

Baker Mayfield and Lincoln Riley worked very well together at Oklahoma, which is why so many want to know if the two will ever reunite. It’s really not likely since Riley has it made where he is now. That doesn’t mean the Browns shouldn’t kick the tires and gauge his interest.
