The Browns have added Johnny Holland and Eric Sanders to their defensive coaching staff, a source familiar with the situation confirmed Tuesday for the Beacon Journal.
Holland will serve as an inside linebackers coach and Sanders as a defensive assistant, Fox Sports reported.
The Browns have yet to announce the moves, but their coaching staff is now believed to be complete. Last week, owner Jimmy Haslam said defensive coordinator Ray Horton only needed to add a linebackers coach to round out his stable of assistants.
Holland, 50, spent the past two years coaching linebackers for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League. A former linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, he has also coached linebackers for the Oakland Raiders (2012), Houston Texans (2006-10), Detroit Lions (2003-05), Seattle Seahawks (200-2002) and Packers (1995-99).
Sanders, 32, spent this past season as a defensive assistant for Stanford University. He worked for the Oakland Raiders during the previous five seasons, including when Browns coach Hue Jackson was the team’s head coach.
