CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Fired Giants coach Ben McAdoo is interviewing for the Browns offensive coordinator job today in Berea, a league source told cleveland.com.

McAdoo, fired by the Giants on Dec. 4 along with GM Jerry Reese after the team went 2-10, has ties to new Browns GM John Dorsey and would be a strong candidate to call plays for coach Hue Jackson because of his experience.

McAdoo spent seven years in Green Bay with Dorsey from 2006-12. He served as Packers tight ends coach from 2006-11 and quarterbacks coach in 2012-13.

McAdoo spent the last four seasons with the Giants, serving as New York's offensive coordinator in 2014 and 2015 before taking over as head coach after Tom Coughlin's departure. McAdoo went 11-5 in 2016 in his first season as head coach and took the Giants to the playoffs. He had a 13-15 regular-season record when he was fired.

In 2015 with McAdoo as offensive coordinator, the Giants ranked eighth in the NFL in offensive yards and sixth in points, while leading the league in passing TDs.

But this season, the Giants hit on rough times, and McAdoo drew harsh criticism around the league and inside his own locker room when he benched quarterback Eli Manning, the first time in 13 years that the Giants did not have Manning as their starter.

Reports out of New York said McAdoo lost the locker room in this tumultuous season, during which both Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall landed on injured reserve.

McAdoo, 40, interviewed for the Browns head coaching vacancy in 2014, but the job went to Mike Pettine. McAdoo took over as Giants' offensive coordinator instead.

Fired Titans coach Mike Mularkey, 56, also is on the radar for the offensive coordinator opening, a league source told cleveland.com. Jackson also has interviewed Texans quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan and talked to several others.

Jackson already has one member of McAdoo's former Giants staff as an assistant, as last week he hired Adam Henry to coach wide receivers. Henry served as Jackson's tight ends coach when he was head coach of the Raiders in 2011.

Henry, 45, was free to interview with other teams after McAdoo was fired. NFL Network reported that Henry signed a three-year deal.

The hires are part of a staff overhaul being conducted by Jackson. Former Bengals assistant Ken Zampese is the new QB coach, and Jackson let special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, who had been with the Browns since 2011, move on to the Bears.
