  • If the plan was to have a dummy OC why did we let of Daboll ? He would have fit the bill perfectly !

  • i know i'm a doubter when it comes to holmgren but in the end i only hope the best for the browns. 'that being said' doesn't this call into question what holmgren is thinking? i mean is he really calling the plays from above? in the end shurmer is a puppet i understand, but why would he give a rookie HC this much responsibility? what exactly would the OC do if shurmer is acting as the OC?

    Its already feeling like a clusterf**k

  • If we are going to run Holmgren's offense , of which I guess Shurmer is a student , I guess all you really need is a dictator type to get in here and get it installed , and make sure players are using all the proper techniques to operate it . I really don't see the problem getting a young guy in here to crack the whip and be an understudy to become a full fledged OC.

    Just the way I see it .

  • Holmgren has to be all the way involved or not..Either get a freakin whistle and a dry erase marker and coach or stay the f**k out of it..seriously..you can't do it any other way..This is not freakin Madden 2011..you have to get on that grind...I hope The Great Walrus this..

  • I know I don't agree with that and I really doubt he does .

    not only will holmgren be GROOMING his new rookie head coach, but he'll GROOM the new OC, and when he has enough time he'll GROOM mccoy.

    dude shoulda been a barber.

    life according to holmgren.

  • Of course it is. If your OC is not calling plays, there is really no chance for him to get promoted and becoming a HC in the future. Basically we will end up getting someone that would be someone's receivers coach, but this is a "promotion" from that, and he will then get a better look at OC job elsewhere.

    My take...

  • Shurmer has said that he only plans on calling plays to start out but after a season or two will allow the OC to call them once he himself gets better acquainted at being a head coach. That's why I would be more than happy to see us bring the O Line coach from the Eagles here to be O Coordinator because he could help train up our O Line guys right away and in the future have a chance to be a great play caller.

  • Yeah i like the Eagles O-Line coach as a great canadite also whoever mentioned TB QB coach wouldnt mind that ethier,Mike Tice,Dennis Green Enteresting to say the least

  • So do we really need an OC? With Jauron on board Shurmmer can leave the defense up to him and concentrate on the offense. He would only need offensive assistants to get the job done.

    George Warhop is coming back as the oline coach, he is one of the few coaches we are retaining and he is a good one. He did wonders with Billy Yates this year before he went down, but the point is he will handle the oline, not the ocoordinator---regardless who it is.
