The Cleveland Browns have now reportedly hired Brad Childress as the new offensive coordinator. Childress rejoins with Pat Shurmer, as both worked together with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2003-05.

This season for the Browns in Shurmur's first year as head coach, Cleveland didn't do so good with him calling the offensive plays, with Cleveland finishing 29th in yards and 30th in points per game.

The 55-year-old Childress used to be the coach of the Minnesota Vikings before being fired in November 2010 after a poor season. He hasn't been in football since.

Looks he will get his chance today.
