Undlin, 54, is a former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator who has strong ties to Monken from their time together with the Jacksonville Jaguars.Undlin has been instrumental to the Texans’ top-ranked defense, primarily assisting a secondary that includes All-Pro corner Derek Stingley Jr., Pro Bowl corner Kamari Lassiter, Pro Bowl safety Calen Bullock and nickel Jalen Pitre. The Browns have also interviewed two Cleveland assistants, linebackers coach Jason Tarver and safeties coach Ephraim Banda, for the defensive coordinator job. The current plan is to run the same system that former defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz has in place, so continuity will be a factor in the Browns’ decision.

Undlin is expected to join the Texans as defensive passing game coordinator-secondary coach, according to league sources.
