Josh McDaniels has taken himself out of consideration for the Cleveland Browns' head coaching vacancy.

McDaniels had asked the Browns if he was No. 1 on their list and was told that he was not.

McDaniels is still just 37 and was previously head coach of the Denver Broncos. McDaniels is currently offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots.

McDaniels is a native of Canton and met with the Browns for eight hours on Saturday.
