Apparently all is not quite well in Berea. While it’s true that Browns GM Ray Farmer and Head Coach Mike Pettine will be retained after a 7-9 record in 2014, there’s talk that offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is a candidate for the currently vacant head coaching position at Buffalo – or possibly off to re-unite with his father, Mike Shanahan. There have been rumors from multiple sources that there’s friction between front office people and the coaching staff concerning (drum roll please) Johnny Manziel and his readiness to take over as the team’s starting quarterback – or the lack thereof.

Suppose (hypothetically) that Kyle does not return. Who would replace him? What recognizable name would bring a sense of familiarity to Browns fans? Here’s one for you . . . how about Marc Trestman, most recently let go as Chicago Bears head coach? Trestman has already interviewed in Tampa is rumored to be up for the O-C position in Jacksonville; so he might not be on the open market for long. If a move is inevitable, then let’s move quickly and decisively to get this done.  And while we’re at it, why don’t Ray Farmer and Jimmy Haslam extend a much overdue olive branch and bring on Bernie Kosar to help with the scouting – particularly to bring in a franchise quarterback to Cleveland?

These two moves have been long overdue in my humble opinion. Let’s get Marc Trestman to lead the Browns offensive attack and bring Bernie back to the Browns full time where he belongs.
