Cleveland Browns News: Another SEC coach leaves for Cleveland
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know including another SEC coach leaving his position to join Freddie Kitchens’ staff
Easily the most impressive thing about the Cleveland Browns new coaching staff is the fact that they are adding assistants who are in demand. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks are both very well respected for their roles.
Mike Priefer was offered a contract by a couple of teas, while also being welcomed back by the Minnesota Vikings. He chose to spurn them all in favor of the Browns.
Others like Tosh Lupoi left their SEC school to become an assistant with the Browns, and that has happened again as the Tennessee Volunteers will be saying goodbye to John Lilly who joins the Browns as a tight ends coach.

Lilly will serve as tight ends coach in Cleveland, per Marvez. This is the same position Lilly held for the Los Angeles Rams in 2016.”"
Kitchens has done a great job assembling his staff. He has a great friendship with Jeremy Pruitt, who he surely spoke with about this hire. Again, this feels like a win for the Browns staff.
