Browns Add Wilson as RB Coordinator; Close to Adding Horton

The Browns coaching staff appears to be quickly rounding out, as PJ Ziegler of Fox 8 reports that the team has officially added former Vikings running back coach Kirby Wilson to the staff.

Wilson is being hired as a ‘run game coordinator’ for the Browns. The team wanted to chat with him but the Vikings blocked him from talking to the Browns, but then his contract ran out and he quickly was swooped up by new coach Hue Jackson.

Ziegler says also that the team is getting close to adding Ray Horton as the teams’ new defensive coordinator.

It’s been a couple days of drama for Horton, who is still under contract to the Titans. It was thought he was out of his deal on Sunday when a story came out he was allowed to go elsewhere by the Titans, but then a report later came out that Horton was still very much under contract to the Titans.

It is not known what the Browns may have to do, if anything, to land Horton, but it sounds like he’s close to returning to the team he was the defensive coordinator for in 2013.
