With only two NFL head coaching openings left, there are signs it could be down to one soon.

According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles has taken himself out of the running for the Browns head coaching job.

While Bowles is certainly a legitimate candidate based on his work with the Cardinals, that usually only happens when a guy knows he’s not getting the job, usually around the time someone else is.

The Browns have kept a low profile throughout the process, and a report today indicated that they wanted to wait to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase before making a decision.

They’re also checking out college coaches along with retreads and NFL assistants including Mike Munchak, Dan Quinn and Ben McAdoo.
