CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two names for the Cleveland Browns.

Brad Seely Mike Mularkey

Those two coaches are on the open market.

The Browns desperately need an ELITE special teams coach.

The 61-year-old Seely has been an NFL special teams coach since 1989. He spent the last three years with the Oakland Raiders.

Seely was replaced when Jon Gruden took over the Raiders and brought in his own coaches.

That could be a huge break for the Browns.

Seely was with the Browns in 2009-10. The Browns had tremendous special teams. He worked for Eric Mangini, who made him "Associated Head Coach" as a way of prying him from the New England Patriots.

In his Browns contract, he had clause allowing him to leave if Mangini were fired.

That happened after 2010. Seely went to San Francisco, and later Oakland.

Mangini told me that Seely could be a head coach. His experience is perfect for the Browns.

I could bury you in stats about Seely. But the bottom line is consistently good-to-excellent special teams.

Bring him in!

THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR

Mike Mularkey is a fascinating candidate.

He was fired after Tennessee had a 9-7 record. The Titans made the playoffs, he won a postseason game over Kansas City.

They were blown out in the next round by New England.

The Titans had back-to-back 9-7 seasons with Mularkey. The Titans thought he could have done more to develop young quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Maybe there is some truth to that.

But the Titans were 9-7 in 2011.

In the next four years, they had an 18-46 record.

Then came those back-to-back 9-7 seasons.

My guess is Mularkey suffered from rising expectations. He was good, but not good enough.

My thought is he's an experienced coach.

He was a head coach in Buffalo and Jacksonville prior to the Titans.

He was an offensive coordinator for Pittsburgh (2001-03) and Miami (2006).

Jackson desperately needs an offensive coordinator to run the meetings, set up game plans and to be very capable of calling plays.

With the Titans, Terry Robiskie (a former Browns coach) called the plays.

Obviously, Mularkey is capable of doing so.

It seems pretty simple -- give Mularkey a shot with the Browns.

I do admit there is a bit of a concern because Mariota has not developed as fast as projected.

Maybe the Browns can find a better candidate for offensive coordinator, but it won't be easy.

Former Giants Coach Ben McAdoo has interviewed with the Browns.

He was a tight ends coach in Green Bay from 2006-11. Current Browns General Manager John Dorsey also was with the packers during that time.

He was an offensive coordinator for two years (2014-15) with the Giants. Then he was promoted to head coach. Under his watch, the offense went from 28th in scoring to 13th and then 6th.

He was 11-5 as a rookie head coach in 2016. He was fired after a 2-10 start this season.

McAdoo or Mularkey? I tend to prefer Mularkey. But I'm really not positive what is the best move.

As for Seely, invite him to Berea, sit him down and don't let him leave without signing a contract.

UPDATE: Reports are the Texans immediately contacted Seely and are likely to hire him...Browns loss if that happens.
