CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns have interviewed former NFL and Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt to be their defensive coordinator.

Browns coach Pat Shurmur met Thursday with Wannstedt, who spent six seasons coaching Chicago and four-plus in Miami. Wannstedt was forced to resign after going 7-5 this season, his sixth at the school. Wannstedt also has drawn interest from Buffalo.

Shurmur talked with Dick Jauron about running his defense on Wednesday. Jauron, a head coach with Chicago, Buffalo and Detroit, spent last season coaching Philadelphia’s secondary and is a candidate to take over the Eagles defense.

The Browns are also in the market for an offensive coordinator. Shurmur plans to call his own plays next season, which could be limiting his choices.
