US EditionBrowns Coaching Candidate Grant Udinski Is Two Weeks Younger than Myles Garrett
Grant Udinski, 30, interviewed for the Browns' head coach job after leading Jaguars' offense to a 13-4 record and AFC South title, potentially becoming NFL's youngest head coach.
- On Jan. 17, Cleveland Browns interviewed Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, age 30, to replace Kevin Stefanski; if hired, he would be the youngest NFL head coach.
- Grant Udinski's rapid rise from a 2019 Baylor graduate assistant to Jacksonville's 29-year-old offensive coordinator was aided by jobs under Matt Rhule and Kevin O'Connell and his place in the McVay coaching tree.
- Udinski's work with quarterbacks boosted Jacksonville Jaguars' offense to 12th in PFF rankings in 2025, scoring 474 points and guiding Sam Darnold and Trevor Lawrence to career-best records.
- Following Udinski's interview on Saturday, the Browns will begin second interviews next week, starting with Jim Schwartz on Monday and Todd Monken on Tuesday, and Udinski is the ninth candidate interviewed.
- Hiring Udinski would eclipse Sean McVay's youngest-hire mark at 30 years and 354 days; some Browns players are older, and Myles Garrett was born two weeks before him.
