Browns today for their vacant heading position.

McAdoo was among Mike McCarthy’s original assistant hires, first coaching tight ends in Green Bay before moving to quarterbacks coach.

McAdoo is considered to be a lot like Andy Reid, who was a former Packers assistant and hired as a head coach in Philadelphia without serving as a coordinator.  But even if McAdoo doesn’t land the Browns head coaching job, there’s a good chance he’ll get a coordinators job somewhere.

Miami has a vacancy at offensive coordinator after coach Joe Philbin fired Mike Sherman there on Monday.
