The Cleveland Browns' unexpected early exit from the NFL playoffs has prompted Head Coach Kevin Stefanski to revamp his offensive coaching staff, according to reports. As a result, Offensive Coordinator Alex Van Pelt, along with RB coach Stump Mitchell and TE coach TC McCartney, will not be returning to the Browns next season. The role of DL coach Ben Bloom is also uncertain.

However, the biggest shakeup for the Browns' coaching staff seems to have occurred over the weekend, with former Browns quarterback Ken Dorsey taking on the role of offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, another former Cleveland QB, Baker Mayfield, could be facing familiar changes as he enters this offseason.

Mayfield's impressive performance with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under the guidance of OC Dave Canales led to Canales being hired as the new head coach of the Carolina Panthers. While Mayfield is expected to return to the Buccaneers as a free agent, there is speculation that he may be reunited with former Browns OC, Alex Van Pelt.

Reports suggest that Van Pelt is heading to Tampa to interview for the vacant Buccaneers OC position. Van Pelt's previous experience with the team as their quarterback coach in 2010 adds further intrigue to the possibility of a reunion with Mayfield.

During their two years together in Cleveland, Mayfield and Van Pelt achieved a respectable record of 17-13, with the quarterback boasting a completion percentage of 61.5%. Together, they amassed 43 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. Notably, Mayfield persevered through a shoulder injury during the second season, demonstrating his resilience and determination.

If Van Pelt secures the Buccaneers OC job, it will be interesting to observe how he adjusts to the responsibility of calling plays for the first time. Furthermore, the potential reunion with Mayfield could have a significant impact on the quarterback's performance and the overall success of the Buccaneers' offense.

As Mayfield's future with the Buccaneers is yet to be determined, fans eagerly await the outcome of Van Pelt's interview and the subsequent decisions made by the coaching staff. The offseason is poised to bring about significant changes for both the Browns and Mayfield, with potential reunions and new opportunities on the horizon.
