Pat Shurmur Hired As New Cleveland Browns Head Coach
-
Shurmur....worked under former Browns defensive coordinator Nick Saban the last five years.
Shurmur is the first Browns head coach with purely an offensive background since Chris Palmer in 1999. He represents a final break from the Bill Belichick coaching tree, which spawned the Browns' last two coaches, Eric Mangini and Romeo Crennel.
Uh, if Shurmur worked for so long under Nick Saban I think it CAN be fair to say that he is also a member of the Bill Belichick "coaching tree"....as Saban of course was the DC here with Belichick for the 5 years BB was here.

How about this then, biblical style:
Paul Brown begat:
...Bill Walsh who begat:
......Mike Holmgren who begat:
.........Andy Reid who begat:
............Pat Shurmur.
So? Is Shurmur just a matter of bringing it all home to the shores of Lake Erie?

Im more interested in who pat will choose for his trusty sidekick coordinators because that overall is more telling of his ability to coach this team...
There is so little about shurmur so few headlines just celebrating rams fans glad to be rid of him, they should make their way to the board soon to give us their condolences as many are apologetic that we got him as a HC, many dont think he was ready to be an OC and cant believe he is now a HC.
I dont care much for spags and i know how his system works so we gotta give coach shumur the benefit of doubt here...hehehehehe

Is there going to be a press conference? I would like to see what Shurmur has to say...

I like it a lot. It basically signals that the Browns are going to be Holmgren's team... and Holmgren is the prized pupil of my favorite coach of all time, Bill Walsh. In the WCO Mafia, Shurmur is the next guy up. My gut says if not for two years helping to turn around a truly busted franchise, if he were coming off 10 years with the Eagles and 7 as the QB coach, we'd like the pick. That's how Mariucci became the Niners head coach, right? From Green Bay QB coach to SF head coach.
I'm sure we'll see an OC from that tree, maybe Bevell. Not sure if we'll keep Ryan and the 3-4 (my preference) or go all in and hire John Fox to overhaul it.

Dustin Fox makes the Harbaugh/Tomlin connection without naming them:

The only thing that I don't like hearing about this is that "Shurmur also shares the same agent, Bob LaMonte, as Holmgren and Heckert and numerous other branches of the Holmgren coaching tree." I don't like that Holmgren limits ALL of his searches to within his agents client list.

welcome pat. let's not have any negative "this guy sucks and he will fail" comments. give the guy a chance.
-
And so it began, lets see what the guy has give him a chance and look foward to adding some much needed pieces in the draft

He has all of the tools necessary to win now or Mangini wouldn't have been fired for his number of wins. The wait is over playoffs this year easily

Love it.
WRREBELL is sitting in a dark corner weeping with a wine cooler, while holding an unused picture of Gruden with a hole cut out where his mouth is.
Dustin Fox, who played for GlenOak and Ohio State, got to know Shurmur fairly well when he was with the Eagles a few years ago. “He was a really cool guy,” Fox said just before Shurmer was hired today. “The players liked him. All the quarterbacks really liked him.” Fox acknowledges that many of you wanted a rock star to be the next head coach, but he supposes Mike Holmgren knows what he is doing. “Big names don’t always get you wins,” Fox said. “Sometimes an up and comer could prove to be a great one.”

thus began the homshert era? what about shmeckho? should we start a contest to name this new regime?

"Shurmur, 45, has spent 12 of his 23 seasons coaching football in the NFL. In those 12 seasons, the Browns said, Shurmur has been apart of teams that have qualified for the playoffs seven times, won five divisions crowns and appeared in one Super Bowl."
