Person familiar with interview says Browns meeting second time with Ken Whisenhunt to be coach

CLEVELAND – A person familiar with the meeting says the Cleveland Browns are having a second interview with former Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt about their vacancy.

Whisenhunt, who was recently fired after six seasons with the Cardinals, is meeting with the Browns on Thursday, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the search. The team met with Whisenhunt last week in Arizona. He went 45-51 in six seasons with the Cardinals and led them to one Super Bowl appearance.

The Plain Dealer was first to report Whisenhunt's second interview.

The 50-year-old worked as a special teams coach with the Browns in 1999, when they returned to the NFL as an expansion team.
