    So MH was the qb guru last year, PS was that guy last week, and now it might be Musgrave.............hmmmm sounds like we don't even need a qb coach like every other team in the league. Well just in case maybe we should find a DC who also doubles as a qb guru. 😳

    Just curious who is gonna get all the credit or blame. I personally just want a guy who knows how to run an offense in general instead of just knowning how to teach qbs to throw spirals........thank you.

    Soooo... okay, then.

    Obviously it's not official, but it looks like it could be taking place within the next few hours.

    Article :

    Other general managers around the NFL expect the Cleveland Browns to hire Bill Musgrave shortly for their offensive coordinator job.

    Several teams that are interested in Musgrave, who was the Atlanta Falcons' quarterbacks coach the previous five seasons and their assistant head coach this past year, don't believe they will have a chance to talk to him at this point. Musgrave interviewed in Cleveland on Tuesday.

    Musgrave has vast experience in the West Coast offense, which Browns president Mike Holmgren prefers, and has helped several quarterbacks thrive.

    Musgrave has served as a quarterbacks coach for the Washington Redskins (2005) and Oakland Raiders (1997), and he has been an offensive coordinator at several stops, including the Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-04), Carolina Panthers (2000) and Philadelphia Eagles (1998). He also was the offensive coordinator at the University of Virginia for two seasons (2001-02).

    New Browns head coach Pat Shurmur will be involved in play-calling, but the team's new offensive coordinator will have some of those duties as well. Quarterback development will be paramount in the job description, with rookie Colt McCoy in the fold.

  • He's headed to Minnesota right now for an interview, so lets not get ahead of ourselves.

  • I am not getting ahead of anything. Just posting available information people might be interested in reading.

    You sure he got on a plane headed for Minnesota?

  • Maybe he wants a coach that will let him call the plays. How much coordinating does an offensive coordinator do if he doesn't call the plays?

    I hope this isn't the hiring scenario that Holmgren envisioned when he got rid of mangini

    Develops the offense, but most importantly I would think helps the HC and QB coach develop Colt McCoy. I think our biggest priority on offense is getting the best WCO guys we can to develop Colt, develop plays for him, and see him be the best QB he can be.

  • Another source puts Musgrave in Minnesota.
