The Cleveland Browns scored the fewest points in the NFL during the 2024 season on their way to a 3-14 record. That got offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey fired. On Wednesday, the Browns announced his replacement – Tommy Rees.

Rees, who spent three seasons as the starting QB at Notre Dame, is a fast-rising coach who's on his third OC position in five years.

The former UCLA quarterback had a rough end to 2024, but a new coordinator who has experience with dual-threat quarterbacks could unlock new potential.

On Tuesday, Kevin Stefanski hired Browns tight ends coach Tommy Rees, 32 — the former Crimson Tide offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach — to replace the fired Ken Dorsey. He becomes Stefanski’s third offensive coordinator in the past three seasons, including Alex Van Pelt, who was fired after the 2023 season.

The Browns hired former tight ends coach Tommy Rees to be their next offensive coordinator. Here's five things to know about Rees.
