The Browns' process for finding their next general manager -- which is very much ongoing -- won't differ much from the one that landed Kevin Stefanski as the team's 18th full-time head coach.

The biggest difference? Stefanski is now an integral member of the group that will interview and ultimately make the final decision on who gets the job.

The Browns have been vetting candidates for the position for a while now and even reached out to teams for permission to interview some of them before informing Stefanski he was the pick for head coach. Time is always of the essence during a search like this, but the Browns are sticking to the methodical, thorough process that guided them in a head coaching search that featured in-person interviews with eight candidates.
