- Head Coach
Adam Gase
Hue Jackson
Chip Kelley
Doug Marrone
Teryl Austin (Lions DC)
Matt Patricia (Pat’s DC)- General Manager
…anyone stupid enough. Because of Haslam’s big mouth (because the GM doesn’t have final say), anyone that we try to hire away from another team can be denied, per that team. So, we might be hiring from the CFL. Or NFL Europe. Or USFL. At this point, does it really matter?
Which of these guys would you like to be the next Head Coach?

Loading ...Hue Jackson. He already had success with a garbage Raiders team at 8-8 in his lone year. He’s also familiar with the division and working for a two bit moron.
Freedom!!!
I agreed with Soup and voted before him. 🙂 Hue is a solid candidate, and he weakens an AFCN rival.
Which means we won’t get him.
Yup, I just read the vote and hit his button automatically.
Which definitely means he won’t be coming here.
Matt Patricia? Didn’t know he was even looking. I like him and think he would be an awesome fit.
Hue Jackson is a loser.
Sean McDermott, DC of the Panthers is set to interview Thursday.
Well I’m not editing the fucking poll. That’s a lot of work. Let’s just say all votes for Jon Gruden are actually votes for McDermott.
The only ones I don’t care for so far are Marrone and Kelly as HC candidates.

Paul Guenther, DC Bengals. Boy, they’re getting ass-raped for their coordinators. Fine by me.
And screw your poll @ice…like the Browns, I don’t care who we get. Neither should you. 😛
Ok everyone, beside Gruden who on that extended list do you want the LEAST?
Mine is Chip Kelly but since we’re doing moneyball he may be one of the better options because he looks at players as nothing but assets. Still, no want.
Chip Kelly. As I said on the original interview, he’s going to be out of the league in a few years. Gimmicks don’t work in the NFL.
Freedom!!!
And screw your poll @ice
Read that segment and all I could think was:
My bottom pick is also Chip. I’m skeptical of the Patriots DC as well…fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times in 9 years, we’re the Browns.
From an Egghead/analytics trend Matt Patricia DC from the Patriots who graduated from one of the TOP Engineering Colleges in the country might be a good fit with the direction they are going. He is after all a degreed Aeronautical Engineer.
Just food for thought.

Well, Gase has interviewed…and everyone “really likes” each other. Wonder if there were cupcakes?
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2016/01/cleveland_browns_interview_ada.html
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase interviewed with the Browns today, the club confirmed.
He was their first interview, which is significant.
They wanted to hire him two years ago when he was offensive coordinator of the Broncos, but he declined to interview so he could focus on the Bronco’s Super Bowl run.
The Browns are also interviewing Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin today, a source told cleveland.com.
The Browns really like Gase, 37, but he’s in demand. He interviewed with the Eagles on Tuesday and will meet with them again over the weekend.
The Dolphins and Giants and will also interview him.
Sources close to Gase, who comes highly recommended to Browns owner Jimmy Haslam from Peyton Manning, is excited about the opportunity to coach the Browns. But he will also likely have other offers.
Despite the Bears’ 6-10 record this season Gase — a Nick Saban protege — has been lauded for getting the best out of Jay Cutler, who completed 63.9 percent of his passes, with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He earned a 92.8 rating.
Gase seems to favor big, pocket passers such as Manning and Cutler, and would likely not be thrilled about the prospect of heading into 2016 with Johnny Manziel as his starting quarterback.The Browns are likely done with Manziel anyway after his trip to Las Vegas over the weekend while he was inactive for the season finale with a concussion.
The following is Gase’s bio from the Bears media guide heading into the season:
Gase spent the last six seasons on the Broncos coaching staff including the last two as Denver’s offensive coordinator. Over the last two seasons, the Broncos led the NFL in scoring offense (34.0 points per game), total offense (430.1 yards per game) and passing offense (315.8 ypg). Denver’s offense also ranked second in the league in plays of 20 or more yards (157) and third in third down conversions (189-of-418, 45.2 percent).The Broncos set an NFL record with 606 points scored in 2013, including a league-record 76 touchdowns. They finished second in the league with 482 points in 2014 (25th most in NFL history). Their 7,317 net yards in 2013 are second most in league history. In 2014, they finished fourth in the NFL with 6,446 net yards, 25th most in league history.
In 2013, quarterback Peyton Manning was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the fifth time in his career by the Associated Press, while breaking NFL single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and passing touchdowns (55). His 450 completions in 2013 are tied for third most in NFL history. He was also honored as the Maxwell Club Player of the Year for the third time in his career and AP Offensive Player of the Year for the second time.
Seven players from the Broncos offense were named to the Pro Bowl over the last two seasons: RB C.J. Anderson (2014), T Ryan Clady (2014), Manning (2013-14), WR Emmanuel Sanders (2014), WR Demaryius Thomas (2013-14), TE Julius Thomas (2013-14) and G Louis Vasquez (2013).
From 2011-12, Gase oversaw the Broncos quarterbacks. In 2012, Denver’s passing offense was fifth in the NFL (283.4), while the unit as a whole finished second in scoring (30.1 ppg) and fourth in total offense (397.9 ypg). Manning was named the AP Comeback Player of the Year after finishing second in the NFL in passer rating (105.8), his first 100-plus passer rating since 2006. Manning was also named a First-Team All-Pro by the AP, earned a Pro Bowl nod and finished as the runner-up for NFL MVP.
In 2011, Gase worked with quarterbacks Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow, helping lead the Broncos to the AFC West crown and a Wild Card Playoff victory. The duo threw for 20 touchdowns to just 13 interceptions, including Tebow’s 12:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Tebow added a franchise quarterback record 660 rushing yards, 12th most in NFL history among quarterbacks, and six rushing touchdowns.
Gase joined the Broncos as the wide receivers coach, a title he held for two seasons from 2009-10. He had a Pro Bowl wide receiver in each season with the team as Brandon Marshall earned a nod in 2009 and Brandon Lloyd earned his first trip to the contest in 2010.
In 2010, Gase helped Lloyd lead the NFL with 1,448 receiving yards, the first 1,000-yard receiving season of his, at-the-time, eight-year career and the first time a Broncos player led the NFL in receiving yards. In 2009, Marshall finished tied for third in the NFL with 101 receptions (for 1,120 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns), including an NFL record 21 receptions on December 13 at Indianapolis.
In 2008, Gase was an offensive assistant for the San Francisco 49ers. Prior to his time in San Francisco, Gase spent five seasons in the Lions organization, including the last three on the coaching staff after starting out as a scouting assistant (2003-05). As a Lions coach, Gase held the titles of offensive assistant (2005), offensive quality control (2006) and quarterbacks coach (2007). In 2007, Gase helped Lions quarterback Jon Kitna finish sixth in the NFL in passing yards (4,068) and fifth in completions (355).
Prior to joining the NFL ranks, Gase worked at Louisiana State University for three seasons (2000-02) under head coach Nick Saban, starting off as a defensive graduate assistant in 2000 before working in recruiting from 2001-02.
Gase attended Michigan State University from 1996-99 earning a bachelor’s degree.
Looks like Marrone came and went…not much of a player coach, from the sound of it…
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2016/01/cleveland_browns_interview_dou.html
But according to Bill Polian and good ol’ Casserley, he would be “hired in a minute”.
Considering how the front office is being structured, the most likely hire will be “up-and-coming” coordinator guy who hasn’t been a head coach yet. Coaches seldom get more than two opportunities to be the head coach of an NFL franchise; so that probably removes Jackson, Kelly and Marrone from the final equation. In Marrone’s case, the browns will likely have asked him why he bailed from Buffalo while his replay could easily be why have you had such a hard time keeping coaches here. Oh, to be a fly on the wall during that conversation.
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
You say up and coming, but I think our next HC will be someone we’ve never heard of. His name probably hasn’t even been mentioned in this thread yet. He’s the kind of guy that when he’s announced our first reaction will be “WHO?” and our second reaction will be to google him since we don’t know anything about him. Or her. Because it would be silly to rule anything out in our coaching search.

You mean like Jerome Henderson?
Yes, yes this is exactly a “Browns Move”.
Since we didn’t seem to call Smith, hopefully the Hue Jackson interview will be this week.
Freedom!!!
Jerome Henderson went to dolphins as DB coach.

Happened today. He also interviewed with the 49ers. Both went well. I think NYG just requested to interview him tomorrow, which means he’s as good as off the board.
He’s as good as gone as soon as he interviews for any other job. We need a guy who needs us as much as we need him. We need a guy who was an absolutely mediocre coordinator that just got fired. We need a guy whose job prospects are: DB coach in D2 college, equipment assistant, guy who holds the big microphone on the sidelines, or head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

We will get a guy who knows he will have 1-2 years to turn around 16 years of losing tradition. I don’t think there is a coach in the NFL who could do this and not to mention one that would want to even try even if they have been fired.
Would you want to work for bean counters and liars / lawyers?
Hue Jackson is a loser.
I think that any new coach will love the structure of having a GM above him, then Sashi above him, and then yet Depodesta above him, but will report directly to Haslam.
I mean, that structure just seems to be an outstanding one.
According to what I have read the power structure is set up into 4 departments with four heads.
The New HC will be over the coaching staff and report to Haslam
Brown will be in the front office with the GM under him and report to Haslam
Depodesta will head the analytics department and report to Haslam
Schnier will head up the business side.
The top 3 departments are to very collaborative also.
Read this in SI and CBS and other places.

Sources say the Browns are going all in on Hue Jackson, which would actually be the best news I’ve heard in a while. He’s my top choice. We’ll have to pay him an amazing sum but hey it’s not my money.
I believe he has some experience with DeFlippo and Pryor as well,…… yes?
http://cloudassetserver.com/STL/posts/185/sp_04_976x0.jpg
He was with Pryor for about 10 seconds in Oakland.
Who gives a shit about Pryor. He had 1 catch and 1 drop on the year. Good for him for changing positions to stay in the NFL – but if coaches are being picked because of Pryor then they are doing it even wronger (yeah, that’s right – I made up a word)

That would be great. I’d still want Smith first – but Hue would be impressive to me. He already has worked for shit ownership.

While I agree with the rest of your take on Pryor……that 1 catch was pretty damn good. I’m by no means saying pencil him in for the Pro-Bowl or anything crazy like that, but he is a big target, and fast.
I’d be more excited over Pryor and Gordon lining up on the field than anything we have put out recently.
Cabot was on 92.3 with Baskin and Phelps and said that the Browns felt that if Jackson would have said yes, he would have been given an offer.
So, according to her, you can scratch him off the list.
C’mon guys. Prior is not on this team next year. How many times did we cut him this year? He may the field maybe 10 times…..Dwayne Bowe like numbers.
Let’s just stop talking about him all together and move on. Who cares if a coach knows him or worked with him.
Soupy – you send them your resume yet? I saw what you did in madden last night.
Hue Jackson is a loser.
I agree with all of you about Pryor. I don’t give a crap about him or what he thinks of the next coaching staff. If I care about any player’s take, it’s Joe Thomas.

I wish he ran this team….he is about the only Brown who ever is interviewed that has class, style, and is completely honest and yet respectful.
Sadly, he will be remembered as one of the best on a real bad team / program.
Hue Jackson is a loser.
I estimate the chances that Joe Thomas starts for the Browns next season at 35%. I think he finishes his career somewhere else and we get a 1st in exchange (which is way less than his worth).

Agreed.
If I care about any player’s take, it’s Joe Thomas.
Agreed. And I hope that soon, he can break free from his bondage. This poor bastard……

I………..agreed. Just so sad to see.

I don’t even care if we get anything in exchange. I just want the guy to win and get what he deserves.

I think he will definitely be a starter on this team. It would be very pitiful if this team traded away their best player. Not to mention, a player of this caliber, may just be too difficult to trade. Don’t get me wrong, it is possible – I just don’t see it happening. Players like this are normally let go to free agency because their value is too high. He is worth more than just a number one pick.

I wish ownership would actually get him a little more involved in the politics of things. Everyone stops and listens to him because he is a gentle speaker who generally understands quite a bit about the profession. I think Joe will retire and do what he likes and fish the rest of his life. He is the type of guy who will troll down a river until the river ends. See’s the big picture. Most likely, he would do real well in management of the game….but I think his life is bigger than that.
Hue Jackson is a loser.
