Chudzinski and Browns officials met tonight in Cleveland in the wake of the team's 20-7 loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh. FOXSports' Jay Glazer reported that Chudzinski would have a chance to fight for his job in the meeting but that it was a longshot. He also said Chudzinski requested the session take place Sunday night after the team bussed back from Pittsburgh instead of Monday morning. According to Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Mary Kay Cabot, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was so disgusted with his team's performance in Pittsburgh that he stalked out of Heinz Field with about six minutes remaining, before the Browns averted their first shutout of the season. He was also incensed over what he perceived as poor effort in last week's 24-13 loss to the Jets. Chudzinski had three years remaining on his contract. A leading candidate to replace Chudzinski is Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, according to multiple reports. McDaniels is a longtime favorite of Browns general manager Mike Lombardi and CEO Joe Banner, who's liked McDaniels since Banner was with the Eagles. NFL Network's Albert Breer also identified Penn State's Bill O'Brien, the former Patriots offensive coordinator, as a likely top choice, but O'Brien is likely to take the Texans job after interviewing with them on Saturday. ... Whatever the case, the first step has been made. Chudzinski is out.
