look im gonna get a lot of heat for saying this but lets be real...you dont win a superbowl unless you have ESPN's approval...look at every team who has ever won...espn loved them said they were good on the air, gave publicity to the team, etc..etc... i believe we need a coach to come in here whos got a good name tag attatched to him to get these guys fired up and make them think that every game is a sunday night game or monday night game...(before you yell at me there is a hint of sarcasm in my statement)

I like Gruden. He grew up a Browns fan. He coached for Holmgren. He designs good passing offenses ... he's experienced, succesful, rested ... what's not to like?Zombo
Yea agreed. Gruden looks like the best choice at this point.

Gruden is clearly the best choice, but does he want to coach? He seems pretty happy doing MNF.

I think John Fox is a good coach but needs a season to decompress after the last 2 years in NC. Not sold on Marty 2.0 but I guess it could work. I really like GRuden but I can't see him leaving a cushy job like MNF. A College guy probably not especially Lane Quiten.
Actually, I guess I have no answers today Just opinions.

IIRC Bradford is part American Indian.
Chucky Gruden is probably the short odds favorite to win the job but don't forget Holmgren has to abide by the "Rooney Rule" and bring in at least one minority candidate- which in all likelihood means Mike Singletary.
I don't doubt Gruden is at least a closet Browns fan, but then again so was Mangini. Jon is going to want a ton of money to quit his cush job in the booth to coach again- and I'm not sure if the lure of working with his old pal and mentor Holmgren is going to be enough of an incentive to let him work (relatively) cheap. If I'm MH, I don't give Chucky $7 million a year, which he's probably going to demand, and someone will be willing to give it to him.

Weird choice i know but Mike Sherman he's a WCO guy that mike wants he only had one bad season with the packers and that was cause half the roster was on ir. he's proven he can win he turned texas a and m to a winning team.

I found this article interesting, I think we're going to know who the new HC will be sooner rather than later.

On Monday afternoon, President Mike Holmgren talked with the Cleveland media about the head coaching change.
On Monday morning, Browns president Mike Holmgren relieved Eric Mangini of his responsibilities as head coach. Later in the day, Holmgren met with the Cleveland media to discuss the coaching move and also the direction of the club going forward.
The Browns finished their second season under Mangini with Sunday afternoon’s 41-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Under Mangini, the Browns posted back-to-back 5-11 seasons and lost their last four games in 2010 after their 13-10 win against the Miami Dolphins on December 5.
“I had the chance to meet with Eric this morning and we had a very good, but tough conversation,” said Holmgren. “It’s very difficult to say the least. I want to thank him publicly, him and his family, for what they have done for the organization and the community. We had a good relationship and that’s what made it so difficult.
“I’ve said all along and I’ve tried to be true to is that I would make any decisions after the season was over. That’s how I make decisions. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I never had to do this before. I like the man a lot, but unfortunately, in this business, I want to win here. We want to win here in Cleveland and we did not win enough games this year.”
Though the 2010 season has been officially over for less than 24 hours, Holmgren and his front office staff have hit the ground running in terms of looking for a replacement for Mangini.
“It’s a pretty wide search; we’re not limiting ourselves in any way,” Holmgren said. “We will talk about this every day until it gets done. Tom Heckert and I will be the point-people to travel and meet people.
“Probably around noon or 11 o’clock, we sent out request forms for a few guys and we’re waiting for responses,” he added. “My goal is to find exactly the right person for head coach of the Cleveland Browns and will eventually lead us to a championship.”

Are you trying to say that the NFL is fixed just to give the high profile team's the wins, the way people think the NBA is fixed?

I have also heard the name Steve Mariucci being bandied about. He is a WCO guy and a Holmgren protege, and he had some success with the 49ers...though he sucked when he went to Detroit, but who doesn't.

Wait how did you know?

Oh, yes, and guess who else's name I have heard: Josh McDaniels.
He, like Gruden was born and raised in NEOhio.

Fisher is just mangini with a brain...no thanks.
I like gruden but thats not going to happen..

So if Fisher is "Mangini with a brain," what is wrong with that? The guy has coached nearly 17 years in the league and his team is always competitive. He has Super Bowl experience and 4 division championships. The only thing Gruden has done better was win a Super bowl, and that was with Dungy's team...

He is a horrible judge of talent though.
