Joe Woods is out as Browns defensive coordinator.
The dismissal has been expected for some time, especially when the Browns were officially eliminated from playoff contention after their Christmas Eve loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Browns ended the season 7-10, the second consecutive losing season since their 2020 playoff season.
The Browns' defensive turnaround started with the Week 12 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the Sunday after Thanksgiving. They've allowed 305 yards a game, compared to the 349.9 they had allowed over the first 10 games. "I think we worked through a lot of the issues that we had early on in the season," Woods said the Thursday's before the finale."We just try to give them a solid game plan that they can go out and play fast and execute. I think throughout the early parts of the season we made those adjustments, and I think the guys really probably since Week 11 that we have played a lot better.”
The part of the defense which ultimately sealed Woods' fate was the run defense. After being ranked seventh in the league through three games, allowing just 83.7 rushing yards in that span, they ended the season ranked 25th by giving up 135.2. The second-half turnaround mimics what the Browns did a year ago, specifically in points allowed. They gave up 45 points in a Week 10 loss in 2021 at New England, at which point they were allowing 24.1 points a game, to a final season average of 21.8 points.
