Van Pelt, who also acted as quarterbacks coach, helped the team overachieve in 2023. He will now be looking for another coaching job in 2024.
Despite losing franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson in Week 10, the Cleveland Browns went 11-6 and had a strong 2023 season that ended with a playoff loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round. That wasn’t enough to save offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt’s job.
Sources told CBS’ Josina Anderson on Wednesday that Van Pelt had been relieved of his duties.
Van Pelt joined the Browns along with head coach Kevin Stefanksi in January 2020. In addition to his role as offensive coordinator, he also served as the quarterbacks coach. Van Pelt had previously worked as the quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals.
Anderson also reported that running backs coach Stump Mitchell and tight ends coach T.C. McCartney were also handed their walking papers.
