After working to fill several assistant coach positions, including offensive coordinator, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski suddenly has another one to address.

On Thursday night, reports revealed that well-respected offensive line coach Bill Callahan was leaving the organization to join his son, newly minted Titans head coach Brian Callahan in Tennessee. It was an anticipated move by many, including members of the team’s brass in Berea, but still a major loss for Cleveland.

Now it’s up to Stefanski to fill the void swiftly, and one potential candidate could come with some competition.

Two weeks ago the Browns conducted an interview with Seahawks offensive line coach Andy Dickerson as part of their search for an offensive coordinator despite the fact that he’s never been a play-caller during his coaching tenure. That conversation, however, could have served as a precursor to Callahan’s departure with the team doing its due diligence on potential replacement at offensive line coach.

It’s unclear right now if the Browns will pursue Dickerson for the role now that Callahan leaving is official. If they do, they’re not alone, as Mike Reiss of ESPN reported Thursday night that the Patriots and first-year head coach Jerrod Mayo now have interest in bringing in Dickerson to serve as their next offensive line coach. That news comes after reports surfaced that New England had hired former Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt to the same position.

Dickerson has ties to both the Browns and Patriots throughout his coaching tenure. He actually started his career with New England in 2004 as an operations intern, winning a Super Bowl with the team that year. He left the organization after serving in the same role in 2005 and joined the Jets as a quality control coach.
