Lindley's addition is the latest move among the coaching staff. Earlier this week, the team announced a handful of other changes, including the removal of head coach Hue Jackson:

"We greatly appreciate Hue's commitment to the Cleveland Browns organization over the last two and a half years. We understand how critical this time period is in the development of our football team, individually and collectively, and believed it was in the organization's best interest to make the move at this time, in order to maximize our opportunities the rest of this season. We certainly only wish Hue, Michelle, and his family the best moving forward."

In addition, Todd Haley has been relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator.

Gregg Williams will serve as interim head coach and Freddie Kitchens will serve as offensive coordinator.
