    John Fox is seen as very conservative on offense, something Holmgren has seen enough of. Harbaugh seems destined for San Francisco. I think it's Holmgren, Gruden, or Mornhinweg.

    I was thinking Harbaugh to Carolina along with his QB, Luck. I would think he would have to find that attractive.

    I really doubt Holmgren steps in.....Gruden and Mornhinwig would be two of the top choices. If Fisher and Adams can't repair the rift between them and Fisher is let go, he would have to make the list, though I could see him sitting out a year and wait for Lame Kiffin to give USC a reason to dump him and hire Fisher as the Trojans coach.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

        I'm getting this from another site that posted a Twitter from La Canfora

        "The Browns love Gruden and he has some interest. But it may not be the perfect fit in terms of offensive personnel and locale

        From what I've gathered on the Browns situation, I see John Fox landing there as head coach with Mike McCoy as offensive coordinator"

            Sounds pretty likely that Holmgren takes over as coach.

            Good call.. you have said all along that mangini would be canned and homgren would coach. You took a lot of crap for it to..

              All I know is that if we actually give Marty Mornhinweg a chance to HC this team I might have to be put on suicide watch.

                Rob Ryan won't last two years as a Head Coach. He's a smoke-n-mirrors guy. I'm with Roach and hope he lands in Cincy as their Head Coach.

                Holmgren will take over as Head Coach and he will bring in a whole new staff or coordinators, including recommending Rob Ryan for a OC/HC job elsewhere. Why limp along with Ryan at DC with one-year left on his contract, when all he wants is to depart for a HC job somewhere? Get rid of him now so there are no changes a year into the rebuild.

                Holmgren will draft a QB with the 6th overall pick and so the cycle continues ...

                (the stadium would make a great dog track for summer use)

                    I dont' think it will be Holmgren at coach. I think it will be an offensive minded guy and I also don't think we draft a QB in round 1. We're going to give Colt one more season as the #1 guy and with the proper style of offense for him and we add some weapons on offense in the off season.

                    As much as I don't want Wrreble to be right, I think it will be Gruden. The name not being mentioned is Mariucci and I would think he would be an option. John Fox at DC.

                      Exit Mangini. Ryan won't be around either. I can't fault him for pursing his head coaching aspirations but in doing so he shows that he is not 100% committed in helping the Browns become contenders.

                      Lets see if the Walrus can work some his magic as he returns to the sidelines as Browns head coach.

                        It would make a nice track....though the best ones have some sort of a lake in the middle.

                              Whoever the new coach is, I can't wait for them to lose a preseason game, so all the dumbasses can start calling for him to get fired with thread after thread after thread....

                                Although I don't agree with it, In Walrus I Trust. Isn't Gruden the Godfather to The Walruses kids?

                                Let's go Browns.

                                  I don't care who comes into coach. I believe Mike will make the right call on that, but I DO NOT want to run a 4-3 in this division.

                                  Please Please Please Mike, lets stick with the 3-4!

                                    Uhmm who is ignorant. I have been saying that mangini would be fired since like week 10.

                                    If you read my post it wasn't dancing about him getting fired but some of us being right.

                                    Am I happy? Hell yeah... its like an late xmas gift for me...

                                      I think another interesting name that could be out there is Jeff Fisher IF the Titans decide to let him go. That man is just a good coach. My gut feeling right now is that we bring in Fox if we can't persuade Gruden to coach again. If neither of those guys work out, then I think it's Holmgren

                                        I don't care who comes into coach. I believe Mike will make the right call on that, but I DO NOT want to run a 4-3 in this division.

                                        Please Please Please Mike, lets stick with the 3-4!

                                          I remember 2 years ago when Mangini was hired. I was really upset and wanted him out asap. I thought that he would set us back a few years and would fail miserably. In fact, the only reason why I joined this board was to voice my displeasure about the Mangini hiring. I was perhaps the most outspoken board member throughout his first off season and most of the regular season. All that changed when we won the last four games including the Steeler game. I saw the progress we had made and started to believe in Mangini. I then became a fan of him and his moves and began singing his praises.

                                          Throughout last off season and this season, I continued to believe in him and his staff. I liked the direction they were headed in and where we were going. We showed progress even though the record did not indicate it. We were a better team this year than the last couple and make huge strides in some areas. However, this was not enough to keep Mangini his job. This saddens me. I do believe that he deserved another year and that he should have gotten it. However, I do not think poorly of Holmgren for it. It is his decision.

                                          I wish Eric the best of luck and think that he will be successful with whatever he does next. Farewell, Eric Mangini.

                                          Here is the whole point of this thread: Don't hang your heads, Browns fans. Don't mope or jump ship to another team. Believe in this team. Believe in what we are doing. We have some good players who showed potential this year in Haden, Mack, Ward, and Hillis. They could turn into great players some day. Hopefully I'm right. Be proud of our team and our history. Yes, other team's fans will continue to make fun of us and say that he root for a horrible franchise and live in a crap city, but don't be upset. We will be great again.

                                          Don't make my mistakes. When we hire a new coach, support him. Even if you can't stand the man, root for him. Don't make asinine statements like I did and let past deeds get in the way. I have been very outspoken in my opinion about not wanting John Gruden as a head coach. However, if he is hired, I will become the biggest Gruden fan in the world. I will not make the same mistake.

                                          Don't be ignorant and not give the guy a chance. Believe in him. Support him. Give the guy a chance like I should have done for Mangini.

                                          Although I am sad that the revolving door of coaches have continued here in Cleveland, I am also excited. We have a lot to look forward to and should be happy going into the off season. Let's make the best of the next 8 months and rally around our team and new coaching staff.

                                          And most importantly, Go Browns!

                                          once a fan, always a fan. married to a steeler fan. aaaaaaaaah! --andy
