Head Coach Search - Interviews
-
It's going to take a remarkable sales job to bring in a veteran coach.
McDaniel already told the Browns "no" on his anticipated 2nd interview.
Players talk, coaches talk among themselves too. Sadly, the Browns only have a perception of a losing culture.
Sounds like McD was basically fired 5 weeks ago per reports. He told his staff he would bring them with him if he got another gig.
Sure. Because why would anyone want to work for the Haslam families when there are plenty of other options?
I'm not broken hearted at all about this news.
McDaniel is not a leader of men.
That's not at the top of everyone's list in 2026, but it's still important to me.

Yes.
I will admit and I have already. The only thing that could possibly turn this clown show into something spectacular for entertainment was Mike McDaniel intelligent but aloof/sarcasm dueling it out with Grossi.
We need a different tune I believe in the locker room maybe not biting kneecaps attitude although that may resonate with some.

Buffalo's GM (Brandon Beane) not only remains but he also got promoted in the organization beyond just being the GM. He is now he is now the GM and President of Football Operations. Think about it - the team lost with a lot of Beane's personnel choices. Beane got the promotion & raise while the HC playing the gridiron chess with those choices got the boot.
Would McDermott even entertain a position here? I can't imagine we're going to get anyone other than some 30 year old coordinator with no HC experience. Can't say I'm excited about it.

Good points! Unfortunately, the Browns aren't a good recruiting attraction for top candidates so I don't understand why they don't offer the job to Schwartz. I trust his decision making on who he wants to hire for Assistants far more than Berry and/or Jimmy.

Don’t forget thin ice Berry. The mistake was already made you clean house and this might change the view of the job

*MIGHT* get lucky & fall upward into McD, provided he can bring some quality assistants.
Turns out, you should be careful what you wish for.
Oh, for the Fantasy Football group - if it isn't Gibbs, Bijan is 1.01 now.

Lol, can't imagine why someone with expertise in offense wouldn't want to work with Andrew Berry.

Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand...but it speaks volumes. This is the youngest, least experienced guy, looking for his first HC gig...and tells Haslam, Nah, I already talked with you...ain't no way I'm working for you.
I saw a video clip of Haslem answering questions. He was trying to show that he's an unsatisfied fan too by his tone, body language, while saying that winning 8 games in 2 years is unacceptable. 'I understand that, just like you passionate fans do'.
In firing only Stefanski, and acting so upset, he's saying, AND IT'S ALL THAT GUY'S FAULT, like a spoiled little brat. The guy that got a team to the playoffs having to play almost the whole season with some of the worst QB's I've ever seen a team have to start.....HE deserves to be labeled as the problem?
We're not the only ones who know that Stef didn't have a QB, OLine or WR's for the last two years plus. (Syd) Thus it was impossible for a coach to come up with much more than that. The agents research the teams for their clients. They tell 'em the lay of the land.
I understand that Stef has been here for several years, we're not winning, it's a good time to make a change...But don't ever, at the podium, make it seem like it was all the HC's fault. Because in reality, it's your fault. It's YOUR decision making, interceding, involvement with the actual 'football people' in the organization that is constantly stunting what the 'football people' want to do. - He's a freakin' dope! I'm pissed. Mrs. Wife is out. I'm gonna grab a Gibson and crank the amp!!!
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -

JOHN GRUDEN
Jon Gruden would be fine by me.. But he still has Legal issues with the NFL to hammer out then wait for reinstatement..
Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~ -

If there is one NFL owner who would hire him to stick it to the other NFL owners, it'd probably be Haslam.

At what point does Schwartz feel insulted by Dumb and Dumber in this HC search? He really needed 2 interviews?PROMOTE the guy already and let him hire his OC.

Does a world exist in which McDermott is hired amd retains Schwartz as DC?

WELL said! And his little tea sipper assistant wants everyone to think the same about him too. After all, he went to Harvard like Sashi Eats-Sushi did too he gave us 1 good draft the entire duration their Scapegoat Stefanski had was sentenced to it.
As much as I don't want McDaniel - I applaud the guy for his fraud-radar. It's time we come to grips here. While they're insulting Schwartz with a 2nd Interview - they don't even understand who he is or HOW the defense LOVED playing heir asses off for him despite the record. Those guys had fun despite circumstance. The 2 spoiled tea sippers are so far removed from understanding how to compete in their own division that they just totally screwed up what should have been an easy promotion. I wouldn't blame Schwartz if he took another job; but I hope we keep him somehow. This is what it feels like rooting for a team that says "NO THANKS" to divine intervention trying to help it.
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!" -

Unfortunately Yes. The World According to Jimmy Haslam and his Chief Executive Suck-up Andrew Berry would love to insult Schwartz 1 more time by denying him the promotion. What kind of organization makes a well respected employee deserving of a promotion need interview twice for it?
Did the Browns just have a player get the all time single sack record? Did they just have a LBer earn NFL Rookie of the Year honors? And didn't another rookie DT get named to the All NFL All Rookie Team? Didn't Denzel Ward and Myles Garrett earn another Pro Bowl honor? Despite the record of the team - what side of the ball had the most fun working together on Sundays? The only 2 people affiliated with this team (inclusive of all us diehards) that are completely unaware of all that are Haslam and Berry...

If we can't attract McDaniels we can forget about McDermott. New HC will most likely be one of the young kids: Udinski or Scheelhaase, Schwartz is a distant 3rd. Buckle up we either get our own Chuck Knoll or everything's blown up in 2 years.

Who knows what they'll do MDD. This next part isn't aimed at you.
So all those wanting to get rid of the "Yes Sir" types never understand what will be hired in place of the last "Yes Sir" type. HINT: the very next "Yes Sir" type but shhhh! Let's let them learn the hard way because Andrew Berry couldn't possibly be the biggest "Yes Sir" man on the planet. In Philly, they have a GM with total autonomy from a proven track record to where the owner listens to him with great respect. In Cleveland, they have 2 Knuckleheads (Owner & Chief Execute Suck-up) that want to try to outsmart any divine intervention coming their way to help them. Only in Cleveland...

I'm curious at the level of support for Gruden. His last two turns were pretty abysmal, with his last seeing the Raiders collapse down the stretch in back to back years.

I can't say I'm surprised that absolutely no one wants to coach this team. The GM is a liability....the owner is a huge liability. I really don't see any light at the end of the tunnel here. These 2 morons are going to continue doing the same thing they always do. Apparently, Haslam doesn't care about being viewed as a complete loser, and dragging a once proud team and fanbase down with him. So, why would any legitimate HC take this job? They wouldn't....unless they are so arrogant they think they could turn this organization around, in spite of the handicap.

I would love for some sleazy hidden heinous act be discovered about Jimmy so the league can do to him what they did to get rid of Dan Snyder(Commanders)... Only then can there be light at the end of the tunnel..

I'm picking up what you're putting down.
If Schwartz is named HC, who do we want as OC?
Who are viable names that can be OL Coach?
I thought Callahan had interest in coming back to Cleveland, following KS to Atlanta stings a bit.
I get it, I get it the staff tend to be more loyal to the HC than the franchise but still.
If I'm Jimmy Haslam, I'm looking in the mirror as to why my organization sucks.
Then again, maybe he doesn’t care. He spent $1B to buy the team and could probably squeeze $6.5B-$7B in value, plus he's got a new stadium coming.
It's not Congress-type return on investment but it's still enough to not have to feed the family Kraft Macaroni and Cheese every night.
