Mike McCarthy – like his experience. Dislike that he calls his own plays and may be averse to the run
Urban Meyer – hate this rumor. Amazing college coach, not an NFL guy and has health problems
Josh McDaniels – really hate this thought. We won’t run and he wants to run everything.
Doug Marrone – we offered him the job and he turned us down for the Bills. He just got fired from 2 garbage years in Jacksonville. No thanks.
Add more rumors as you hear them
Freedom!!!
If we’re giving interviews to anyone currently on the staff, my first choice is Mike Priefer (special teams coach). Look at the amazing improvement our special teams made under him in just 1 year. As a graduate of the Naval academy you know discipline and attention to detail are among his strengths. He’s been interviewed a few times on Cleveland Browns Daily and the guy comes across humble, honest, and extremely focused. He’s a leader of men. Plus he’s from Cleveland.
Even if he isn’t the HC, we have to do whatever we can to retain him. He’s the most important current member of the staff IMO.
Mcdaniels is the first request interview per MKC. Rumor is he wants the front office structured his way. If he’s hired you can say goodbye to Dorsey and hello to another decade of setbacks and passing 50 times a game
Freedom!!!
Yeah, I’m not interested in McDaniels. He was a disaster in Denver, and one of the only people on the planet that thought Tebow was a first round pick. Then he bent the colts over. Pass.
The guy I want is Rivera, but he’s reportedly going to sign with Washington. We can’t get him over the Redskins? Sad.
I agree with Soups assessment of Urban. He’s not a long term answer. Though it would be funny as hell to see him try to get a long with the QB that planted a flag right in his face in primetime.Nobody else gets me excited, and I have zero faith in the Browns to get this right. The only guy I would kind of like is Matt Campbell, solely because of he’s a former Toledo coach. But I haven’t seen him linked too much to the Browns.
Wish We could get Kyle Shannahan back……….
The offensive pieces on hand would work so much better in a ZBS/WCO in my opinion.
Wonder if Gary Kubiak health would allow???
Maybe Brian Schottenheimer???
Mike Sherman???
Jay Gruden??

Hue Jackson is a loser.
I hate the idea of a rookie head coach calling their own plays. There is a huge learning curve, even for experienced coordinators, pertaining to managing every aspect of a game from the sidelines. They cannot focus on any one element.
A 12 year veteran like McCarthy, however, is more than capable of calling their own plays. They know exactly what needs done at all times, and likely have a system in place for delegating all responsibilities amongst coaches.
They are interviewing Greg Roman. Love this request as he’s highly successful in the run wherever he is. Plus it would weaken the Ravens

But in all seriousness. He will be another Rookie HC…….As the firey dumpster bin will tell ya Co-ordinators don’t always make good HC’s…….

So basically, if we hire him, will you promise not to start a fire Greg Roman thread for the first half of the first game?

No matter what Soups response is, I promise you if we line up in shotgun in the red zone, all bets are off.

And the losing ways will continue with the back asswards Haslam not in prison…
Per Adam Schefter:
The Giants and Browns, who have fired their head coaches within the past 24 hours, still could be making more changes, per league sources. The new head coach in each city is expected to have input on whether the general managers there stay or go. Front office situations fluid.
So this means the Haslam’s, not the GM, will be hiring the head coach. Look for McDaniels or McCarthy to get the job and be GM as well as head coach. then look for a new set up in 2022.
Freedom!!!
Look at the Haslams track record, and please tell me what you find that led you to believe this wasn’t going to end in disaster.

I saw all that as well. Leave it to Jimmy and Dee to do it ass-backwards. McCarthy, though, might want to work with Dorsey. McDaniels would want to bring in a guy like Caserio and have all the control he could get.
Bank on it now. Dorsey will be fired. Depodesta, a baseball guy who is completely useless, has more pull than the football guy so until the FBI throws Haslam in jail it’s done. Goodell once again set us up to fail by forcing this loser in as owner
Freedom!!!
The Haslams seem fixated on McDaniels for whatever reason. I don’t get the fascination teams have with him. And letting potential coaching candidates have a say in who runs the front office is insane. Why DePodesta is still around is beyond me.
Haslam World. Ye who enter, abandon all hope…..

Depodesta was an economics major in college, and played college baseball AND football. He’s a numbers guy, more than a baseball guy, which makes him useful in a sport with a salary cap.
More importantly, it’s been reported/rumored he wanted Sean McDermott and was vetoed when the Browns signed Hue, and he wanted Kevin Stefanski and was vetoed for Kitchens. I don’t think he’s the problem.

Freedom!!!
I agree Haslams he issue, but I’m confused what you’re getting at about keeping a numbers guys over a football guy. I feel like you’re connecting some dots that I’m not.

Haslam is willing to let Dorsey, who helped build Packers, built the Chiefs and gave us the most talent we’ve had in 20 years back – but Depodesta stays no matter what.
Dorsey is flat out an actual football guy. We are letting that walk in favor of the analytics that drove the Sashi Brown drafts
Freedom!!!
McCarthy has won a Super Bowl. He is an experienced coach. He can call his own plays because he was proven he is successful.
He had 3 losing seasons in 13 years. 2 of them were the last 2 he coached.He isn’t adverse to the run. When he has a good running back, he used him. In his last 5 seasons in GB, team rushing was no worse than 11th and as high as 2.

Also seems weird that there’s no consistency between HC’s that they’re looking at. Offense, defense. Young, old. Experienced, inexperienced. College, NFL. Are the casting a wife net, or just throwing the proverbial shit at the wall and seeing what sticks? I don’t know, but like I said before, what sticks will absolutely be shit, because it’s Jimmy.
Oh, and Brian Daboll is Joe Thomas’s recommendation, for what that’s worth. Obviously he’s not the end all, be all, but he spoke very highly of Kyle Shanahan and Matt Leflour(sp?) before this season. For what it’s worth.
I hope we go through a lengthy interview process and eventually hire McDaniels.
Then the day after we announce his hiring and he quits his job in NE we announce that we’ve changed our mind and found someone better.
***Caution – Dad joke ahead***
I also hope we hire Brian Daboll. Then Soup could yell “Run Daboll dammit!”
“Then the day after we announce his hiring and he quits his job in NE we announce that we’ve changed our mind and found someone better.”
THAT was hilarious!
Can we get the NFL to force a sale?

Baylor HC Matt Rhule declined the chance to interview for the Cleveland Browns head coaching job, per league sources. Rhule is expected to be a leading candidate for the Giants’ and Panthers’ HC jobs.Freedom!!!
Ron Rivera is t he new head coach of the Redskins.
This is what happens when you pointlessly hang on to a terrible coach t he ought 17 weeks. The people who relieved coaches earlier get first crack.
If you recall, Panthers owner loves Rivera and let him go prior to him looking for his replacement so Rivera could have first dibs on a job
Freedom!!!
Haven’t heard him connected to the Browns at all, but I wouldn’t be mad about it.

Per Schefter
49ers’ passing-game coordinator Mike LaFleur, the younger brother of Packers’ HC Matt LaFleur, is expected to interview this weekend for Browns’ head-coaching job, per source.
Freedom!!!
Rhule has said he won’t go to the NFL unless the situation is just right. It’s rumored that that means some level of personnel control. If that’s right, he can stay at Baylor. Buh bye.
Also, Browns requested permission to interview Eric Bienemy.

Schefter and Rapoport both reporting that it’s looking like Dorsey and the Browns will part ways.
Death, Taxes, and Haslam’s ineptitude.

Death, Taxes, and Haslam’s ineptitude.Please be incorrect. And if the incoming coach candidate wants to hire their own GM then we can conclude the interview and thank them for their time immediately.
2-14 next year. No use watching the draft for when we trade up for a 7th round talent at #3
Freedom!!!
My dream is now for McDaniels to accept the job of every role in t he organization and then in 2 months quit.
I said it when he bought the team, Haslam goal is to move the Browns to England
Freedom!!!
“Run” Daboll is set to interview on Sunday.
Also this seems like the correct thread to point out that virtually moments after Urban Meyer’s friend Bruce Feldman tweeted “I’m hearing that the Browns have strong interest in former OhioState head coach Urban Meyer, per sources.”, the Haslams publicly stated that they’re looking for someone with NFL coaching experience.
Nice try Meyer.
The entertaining portion of reading presser quotes is that the head coach is being searched for by:
1. Felonious hick
2. Felonious Hicks wife
3. Son in law
4. Baseball analytics guy
5. Salary cap guyThis is going to end well!
Freedom!!!
Who’s the salary cap guy? And why would he care about the HC? We’re already paying like a dozen coaches to not coach for us. I Don’t think we have much of a cap on coaches salaries.

Also notable from Haslam’s presser is that Elliot Wolf will not be considered for GM and it will be someone from outside the organization. Which both undercuts “letting the coach pick the GM” and throws out any sense of continuity, all in one sentence.
Thank God I’ll have my Sundays freed back up next fall.
I never wanted Ron Rivera. He only had 3 winning seasons out of 9 and never had back to back winning seasons.
I actually rather have Josh McDaniels as head coach over Rivera although my preference is Mike Mike McCarthy.
Haslem is a owner I don’t have any faith in but maybe they actually get it right this time.
Greg Roman was also quietly interviewed yesterday.
Eric Bieniemeny today.
Brian Daboll and Robert Saleh this weekend or Monday, depending if their teams win or lose.
Josh McDaniels next Friday.
If we really like McCarthy or Roman, I wouldn’t be surprised if we hire them Monday or Tuesday. I doubt you take the risk of their getting hired elsewhere, waiting an entire week.
Can guys who are in the playoffs be named HC of another team while their current team is still playing? I didn’t think they could.

If I recall they can….
Hue Jackson is a loser.
I wish the Browns would do something earth breaking.
They would bring in 7 active players with 2+ years on their contract and interview every coach. They are adults. They should help determine and have a vote on who they will best work with and who will best help them.

They should help determine and have a vote on who they will best work with and who will best help them.I like this idea, but then I looked at our roster. Literally no veterans who come from winning. Which is kinda crazy, and explains a lot about how this team fell apart late in games.
Jason Garrett is now available. 10 years and only 1 losing season. The hear Romo got hurt early he went 4-12.
He’s also used to a moron of an owner.
If we are doing a thorough search he needs interviewed.
That said, the search is a farce. Their only interest is Mcdaniels.
Freedom!!!
Garrett should for sure get an interview, but he’s proven to be a mediocre coach. Never does well in clutch late season games or in the playoffs.
I’m basically all in on McCarthy. I’d be fine with Roman as well, but I like the idea of a proven winner coming in and at the very least getting our team running like an actual NFL franchise.
Not crazy about Garrett. I feel like Baker would push him around.
I just realized, I think I’m holding Holmgrens failure against McCarthy. That’s probably the man reason I don’t want him. That, and I don’t know how good he’d be without a HOF QB.
Right now I’d put Stefanski in the lead. He was Podesta’s choice last year. Stefanski had Kirk Cousins playing out of his mind this season. 26 TD’s to only 6 INT’s, 69% completion and a 107 rating for the year…. Kirk freaking Cousins!

Except Dee Haslam wants Mcdaniels and no one else. They also want previous head coaching experience. I’ll be shocked if anyone but Mcdaniels is hired (unless of course Mcdaniels says no)
