According to multiple reports, the Cleveland Browns could be looking to name Buffalo Bills linebackers coach Jim O'Neil as their new defensive coordinator to replace Ray Horton, who departed for the Tennessee Titans:
Expect Bills LB coach Jim O'Neil to be a top candidate as Pettine's DC. Have heard Packers RB coach Alex Van Pelt a top choice for OC

Bills LBs coach Jim O'Neil will be Mike Pettine's defensive coordinator in Cleveland if the Bills let him out of his contract, I'm told.

Regarding Alex Van Pelt as offensive coordinator, the word is that he is staying with Green Bay as their new quarterbacks coach, so don't expect to see him brought aboard in Cleveland.
