The Cleveland Browns have another hire as Duce Staley joins the team as their new running backs coach.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski continues to rebuild his offensive staff after cleaning house after the season. The Browns had some serious competition, especially from the New York Jets but they were able to lure Staley to Cleveland in the end. Staley comes to town from Carolina where he was the running backs coach and assistant head coach.
Staley is not a stranger to the AFC North after playing for the Steelers from 2004-2006. He comes to Cleveland after spending the year with Frank Reich and an offense built around a mobile quarterback in Bryce Young last year’s number-one pick.
After looking at Browns Twitter, it is easy to say that fans are mostly excited about the addition of Staley. Looking at the offenses Staley has been around you realize he is a fresh voice with different offensive philosophies than the rest of the staff under Stefanski. A great hire bringing in a respected and talented coach that will help the Browns offense improve in 2024.
Here are some reactions fans had to the announcement of the new running backs coach’s hiring.
Duce Staley is a fantastic hire.

Duce Staley will be an upgrade over Stump. Good hire, good move by the Browns.

Lot of respect around the league for Duce and rightly so. Assistant HC at previous three stops. https://t.co/9H3lub4BRE

Duce Staley has had NFL head coach interviews.
Pair these hires with last year's Jim Schwartz and Bubba Ventrone, and this is quietly becoming an extremely accomplished staff of coaches. https://t.co/B8azmRYN6E

New #Browns RBs Coach Duce Staley wasn't too bad himself back in his NFL days.
