Browns officially announce the hiring of Andy Dickerson, Roy Istvan with a statement from Kevin Stefanski

The Cleveland Browns have announced the hiring of offensive line coach Andy Dickerson and assistant offensive line coach Roy Istvan as head coach Kevin Stefanski released a statement.

As Bill Callahan departs to work with his son as the offensive line coach of the Tennessee Titans, the Browns brought in Dickerson, who has been an integral part of the run games and offensive line play for both the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. He even interviewed for the opening at offensive coordinator in Cleveland.

Upon his hire, Stefanski had this to say about Dickerson:

“We were all very impressed with Andy, along with his background and knowledge when we first met about our offensive coordinator position… When our offensive line position opened, he was among the first calls I made. Andy loves teaching and will bring a passion and energy that will greatly benefit our linemen. He understands the high standard that room must have in order for our offense to be successful and we know he’s excited about being back in the building with this organization.”

Dickerson brings with him Istvan, who took a lateral gig after working with one of the best in the business for five years with the Philadelphia Eagles. With experience learning from Eagles’ offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, Istvan brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with him.

There is no replacing Callahan, so life without the legendary offensive line coach will be worth watching. However, pulling in Dickerson and Istvan to take the baton and run with it is quite the start to the new era in Cleveland.
