BEREA, Ohio -- Here we go again.

The Browns fired head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley on Monday following yet another loss at Heinz Field and growing reports of discord between the two.

Gregg Williams takes over as interim head coach, but the real fun begins in trying to figure out who will be the coach after that.

This is the first time general manager John Dorsey will hire a head coach, and he and owner Jimmy Haslam will likely look for a young, offensive-minded head coach.

Here's a preliminary list put together by cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe. This isn't a comprehensive list and, at this point, is purely speculative.

Consider this a primer on potential candidates.

You're going to hear this name from now until the coaching search is over or until Riley gives an outright no. It's for the obvious reasons. He's young (35), offensive-minded, NFL coaches have flocked to Oklahoma to pick his brain and, oh yeah, he coached Baker Mayfield in college.

Riley became Oklahoma's offensive coordinator in 2015 under Bob Stoops. He took over for Stoops in 2017 and led the Sooners, under Mayfield, to a 12-2 record and an appearance in the College Football Playoffs.

Matt Campbell, Iowa State head coach

Campbell is a hot name in the college ranks right now and he'll likely be a hot name among Browns fans. Campbell, who turns 39 in November, was born in Massillon and served as the offensive coordinator for Mount Union.

His work has been on the offensive side of the ball throughout his college career, which includes assistant stops at Bowling Green and Toledo.

Campbell took over Toledo's program at the end of the 2011 season after serving as the offensive coordinator for two seasons. He moved on to Iowa State in 2015. The Cyclones went 8-5 last season and won the Liberty Bowl.

The Cyclones' four wins this season include victories over West Virginia and Oklahoma State.

A familiar face for Browns fans, DeFilippo was the Browns' offensive coordinator in 2015 under Mike Pettine. He was ushered out the door in the regime change following that season.

DeFilippo, 40, caught on with the Eagles in 2016 and was part of the group that worked with Carson Wentz and helped turn him into an MVP candidate in 2017 before Wentz tore his ACL. The Youngstown native took the offensive coordinator job in Minnesota following the Eagles' Super Bowl win.

Random note: DeFilippo started his second stint as quarterbacks coach in Oakland the season after Hue Jackson was fired as head coach.

Schwartz is the outlier on this list as a defensive name. He's also the only candidate on this list with extensive NFL head coaching experience. He held that position for the Lions for five season. He finished above .500 in Detroit just once, going 10-6 in 2011.

The 52-year-old defensive coordinator has spent the last three season in Philadelphia. He also spent eight years as Tennessee's defensive coordinator and a season as Buffalo's defensive coordinator.

Eric Bieniemy, Chiefs offensive coordinator

Bieniemy is in his first season as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator and you simply can't ignore someone from the offensive side of Andy Reid's coaching tree, especially if they were around during Dorsey's time in Kansas City.

Bieniemy has made his name in the NFL as a running backs coach, working in that role for Kansas City from 2013 to 2016. He was Minnesota's running backs coach from 2006 to 2010.

Reid, of course, calls the play, but, according to ESPN, Bieniemy, 49, "helps assemble the playbook and weekly game plans and runs the offensive meetings. He's also the voice in (quarterback Patrick) Mahomes' ear through the headset on game days relaying the playcalls."

He was the offensive coordinator at University of Colorado in 2011 and 2012.

Dave Toub, Chiefs special teams coordinator

Don't Edit

Toub has been the Chiefs' special teams coordinator since 2013 and was given the title of assistant head coach this season.

His name, along with Matt Nagy's, came up last offseason, too.

Josh McDaniels, Patriots offensive coordinator

McDaniels is the other candidate on this list with NFL head coaching experience. He went 11-17 as head coach of the Broncos and was fired after 12 games in his second season.

McDaniels is only 42 years old. He was born in Barberton and played at Canton McKinley and John Carroll. He has rehabbed his image as a coach since returning to New England.

Unfortunately for McDaniels, that image took a hit when he was on his way to becoming the head coach of the Colts last offseason and backed out. That's of particular note because the Colts' GM is Chris Ballard, a Dorsey disciple who has had nothing but good things to say about the Browns' GM.

Don't Edit

Mike Groh, Eagles offensive coordinator

Don't Edit

If you're noticing the trend of looking deep at the Eagles and Chiefs, well, that's how this works. Groh moved up to offensive coordinator this season after serving as wide receivers coach a year ago. He was the passing coordinator/wide receivers coach for the Rams in 2016 and spent three years as the Bears' wide receivers coach prior to that.
