2011 COACHING AND FRONT OFFICE MOVEMENT
-
Reports from Adam Schefter state that Dave Wannstedt may be in the Cleveland Browns interest now.

He's a 4-3 guy, right?
Wannstedt eyes NFL return
Posted by Mike Florio on January 11, 2011, 3:35 PM EST
Former Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt likely won’t soon be coaching another NFL team, years after stints with the Bears and Dolphins. But Wannstedt is still seeing a demand for his services at the NFL level.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen report that Wannstedt could be reuniting with former Cowboys colleague Norv Turner as defensive coordinator of the Chargers. He also could be headed to Carolina, to serve as defensive coordinator under former Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.
The Bills and Browns also are interested in Wannstedt.
Wannstedt spent six years with the Bears and four seasons and nine games with the Dolphins.

NFL.com says Shurmur is the likely HC... and John Fox and Jim Mora are potential DCs. Both guys run 4-3s, a clue that the 3-4 might be a goner in Cleveland. Half the team is free agents (Gocong, Jackson, Smith) and only Rubin, Benard, and Fujita seems like serious keepers.
The excellent B&O article I just read says Benard actually spent much of the year in a stance, essentially playing DE, and he would do quite well at the position. I think Roth would be a terrific 4-3 DE, too (for the Giants and Colts, they go 265-275). Fujita came from NO's 4-3 and Gocong had been in a 4-3 in Philly if we resign him. A lot of people think D'Qwell is meant for 4-3 MLB.
It would be an overhaul, though, and a lot of new faces would be brought in.

Oh god, here we go again.

I think Gocong would do better at DE than Roth or Benard.

Breaking News:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6015881
Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur has emerged as the leading candidate for the Cleveland Browns' head coaching job, according to league sources.
The sources said Cleveland hopes to hammer out a contract with Shurmur within the next 48 hours and introduce Shurmur as coach at a news conference by Friday.
Browns president Mike Holmgren, general manager Tom Heckert, executive vice president Bryan Wiedmeier and Shurmur all have the same agent, Bob Lamonte.
If Shurmur's deal falls through, the Browns could turn to former Panthers head coach John Fox, who spent Wednesday interviewing with the Broncos. Cleveland already has also interviewed Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey and Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, but Shurmur is the candidate that has commanded the most attention.
Holmgren likes Shurmur and what he can bring to the Browns, accorfing to the sources. The 44-year-old Shurmur has spent the past two seasons as the Rams offensive coordinator. Before joining St. Louis' staff, he worked on the Eagles coaching staff from 1999-2008.

Why does it suck? It doesn't suck unless the team sucks for three years. Butch Davis was seen as a "get," and that didn't work at all. Mike Smith was seen as a dull choice... and it's been awesome.
Holmgren and Heckert obviously know Shurmur very, very well... and they want him to be the head coach. Do you think they're morons?

Ill go ahead and start it, FIRE SHURMUR! HIRE GRUDEN!
If at first you dont succeed, skydiving is not for you. -
I have to go with Holmgren -- He wouldnt pick someone that was not the right fit. Remember, he wasnt the one who hired Eric Mangini.

It sucks because whether or not we had ideal scenarios, he wasn't the IDEAL coaching candidate to take over the Browns. Who knows what this guy can do. I wanted someone that had NFL head coaching experience. I will reserve judgment, but not too thrilled about this choice.
