# 2024 Cleveland Browns season

The 2024 season was the Cleveland Browns' 72nd as a member of the National Football League (NFL), their 76th overall, and their fifth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry. The Browns failed to improve on their 11–6 record from the previous season and failed to win the AFC North title, finishing with a 3–14 record. This extended their division title drought to 32 seasons, having last won the then-AFC Central in 1989. The Browns failed to return to the playoffs after having qualified in 2023.

## Offseason
### Staff changes

On January 17, the Browns fired offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt and running backs coach Stump Mitchell, and did not renew the contract of tight ends coach T. C. McCartney. On February 1, the Browns released offensive line coach Bill Callahan so he could take the same position with the Tennessee Titans, who had recently hired his son Brian as head coach. On February 13, it was announced that defensive line coach Ben Bloom was taking a role with the Tennessee Titans.
On January 24, the Browns hired Duce Staley as their running backs coach. Staley was previously the assistant head coach/running backs coach for the Carolina Panthers in 2023. On January 25, the Browns hired Tommy Rees as their tight ends coach/pass game specialist. Rees was previously the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Alabama in 2023. On January 27, the Browns hired Jacques Cesaire as their defensive line coach. Cesaire was previously the defensive line coach for the Houston Texans from 2022–2023. On January 28, the Browns hired Ken Dorsey as their offensive coordinator. Dorsey was previously the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from 2022–2023, and had played quarterback for the Browns from 2006–2008. On February 7, the Browns hired Andy Dickerson as their offensive line coach. Dickerson was previously the offensive line coach for the Seattle Seahawks from 2022–2023.
