    any sports talk was usually hearsay type of stuff.

    And / or  stuff they just make up.

    I'm still hoping for Schwartz as HC.  And him letting Rees remain as OC.  At that point, everyone is on the same page with Berry.  I mean, since we're keeping Berry...we might as well keep the whole ship in tact and move it forward with FA & the draft.  Next year, if they aren't happy with the team's performance, just finish the job and clean house. Then get your new HC a shiny new QB in the '27 draft.

    Won't be a hugely popular opinion, but I'm going with it.  🙂

    Good thinking IMO considering how important the continuity would be especially with a defense that looked like they had a lot of fun together. That's usually not something you see from a team with a record like the Browns. Also, Shedeur has 7 starts in Reese's Offense albeit with Stefanski as Managing/Contributing Editor with game plans/preparation leading up to the play-calling on Sunday (when Rees flied solo).  I'd hate to see Sanders needing to learn a new offense from a new OC that would want another QB competition. 

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

    If it is Mike McDaniels…McDaniels and  Tony Grossi are a match made in heaven.  This will be fun.

    I could almost hear the thinking from Saturday Night Live in response - "We got it covered from here. Thanks Cleveland!"

    ...a driver's license and his own car.  

    I don't really want the youngest guns.  I'd like to see a good bit of nfl coaching and coordinator experience.  Here he's got to deal with Haslam and his family....as well as Shedeur and his.  I don't think we're the best place to be to learn how to be a HC.

    Offense was much more precise than ours, so we can surmise Udinski is an upgrade to Rees as far as OC.

    He certainly had different talent on offense then we did didn't he...

    @orion said:

    I said precise, meaning they were well designed to optimize the talent. If you watched analysis of Browns offensive plays this season, there would often be lack of attention to detail especially early in the season.

  • If Sanders is the starting QB next year it won’t matter who the HC is

    He is dreadful

  • sure are a lot of job openings. Honestly it really makes our F.O look even stupider than normal for letting Stefanski go.

  • Maybe the NFL should step in and force Haslam to hire a proven HC.....if any would come here.

    Except the NFL will have haslam hire a female sumo wrestler head coach or something like that. I mean, look at the superbowl halftime....

    Same but I really wanted him to just stay as DC, even if they pay him more.

  • Interest in Brian Flores is heating up, and the Browns are still on the sideline

    After the news of Kevin Stefanski’s firing broke on Black Monday, Brian Flores felt like a name that had to be on the Browns’ wish list.

    His defense helped carry the Minnesota Vikings, hamstrung by some of the worst quarterback play in the NFL, to a 9-8 record. They won their final five games of the season while allowing just 9.0 points per game to opposing offenses.

    Yes, Flores still has an ongoing lawsuit against the NFL alleging racial discrimination in the hiring process. He also admitted fault in mishandling his relationship with QB Tua Tagovailoa as head coach of the Dolphins during their two years together.

    But Flores is still only 44, won four Super Bowls on Bill Belichick’s staff with the New England Patriots, and has more than earned a second chance. There aren’t 32 coaches better than Flores in the NFL right now, and there might not be one better at scheming up havoc for opposing QBs.

    Pairing Flores with Garrett, Carson Schwesinger, Denzel Ward, and the Browns' defense would be a terrifying proposition for the NFL. With the Vikings missing the playoffs, and his contract officially up with the team, Cleveland could have gotten to him early in the process and been the first in line.

    Similar to Shula, it might be too late now. Flores already interviewed with the Ravens and is set to meet with the Steelers next. He also interviewed with Dan Quinn and the Washington Commanders for their vacant defensive coordinator job.

    None of the NFL’s nine HC openings have been filled yet, so everything’s still on the table for the Browns. It does feel like the team’s leaning towards a young, up-and-coming coach with an offensive background as Stefanski’s replacement, which makes sense; their offense was among the worst in football in 2025, and that’s not going to change until they figure out QB, left tackle, and No. 1 wide receiver.

    But why request a late interview for the hot commodity in Shula, when there was a more proven and experienced candidate in Flores who went all of last week without a single interview request?

    The Browns don’t seem to be overly serious about the defensive-minded coaches, outside of maybe Jim Schwartz, and they better hope that they’re right.

    That's exactly what's going to happen. Don't forget.....we have the 2 smartest men in the world making these decisions.
