Who is on Randy Lerners wish list?

Mr. T

Since it is a given fact that Crennel will be Fired after Sundays game... http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1329346/nfl_coaches_that_will_be_fired_after.html

Who is on Randy Lerners wish list?

Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer reported that the Browns are not planning on hiring Marty Schottenheimer to replace Crennel. He added that Bill Cowher is Cleveland owner Randy Lerner’s top choice, but the former Steelers boss is unlikely to take a job with another team in Pittsburgh’s division.
Glazer also said Patriots assistant Josh McDaniels and Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo are on the team’s short list of coaching candidates, while New England player personnel director Scott Pioli could become the Browns’ general manager.

What about Billick if Cowher says no?

He does have a Super Bowl Ring, and knows the division pretty good. What we need is a man who knows how to beat the Steelers. This will be our biggest road block no matter how much talent we aquire through free agency or the draft, we need a coach who will take command and knows how to win. He is 9W& 9L Reg. Season vs. the Steelers.

Billick has a 85–67 record in nine seasons , including 5–3 in the playoffs. far better than anyone else we have had in the last decade.

Coaching tree

Assistant coaches under Brian Billick that became head coaches in the NFL:

Expect to see Jim Fassel pop up, too, as a candidate. He’s also had some success in the league, taking the New York Giants to the Super Bowl the year the Ravens beat them.

DC - I would take Wade Phillips in a NY minute if he were let go by the Cowboys.

? mz.

I don't see Pioli coming without McDaniels, which would preclude us from getting Spags because he isn't going to accept a lateral move to DC and neither will McDaniels (to OC).

And T, if we happen to hire Billick or Fassel in any capacity I'll go xxxxing apoplectic.

Please, no Cowher.

Oh gawd no more chud his cowardly and simplistic gameplans are largely responsible for this years offensive outcome we may as well keep tucker too he is just as impressive on the other side of the ball...first things first this club needs to rid itself of rac and all of his asswipers we need self motivated people that will kick the dog crap out of the spoiled children we call the browns players..pioli is a guy that would begin the process but i would betcha chud would absolutely not be in his plans...

Dude, if you ever mention Billick's name here again as a possible canidate I will personally kick your ass.

I will go as far to say that if Brian Billick is hired here, I will end my fanship with the Cleveland Browns. I hate that MF'er.

He had his chance at coaching in Mecca.

Just kidding Stan, LOL. Merry X-Mas buddy, hope Santa gives all of us what we really want....BOOBIES!!!!

Cue the music........AAAAANNNDDD GO!!!!

Mr. T

Well the look of things is that Savage will keep his job while Romeo is going to be let go.

And as we all know that Savage loves to go back to his roots and that leads me to believe that asshole will be his choice.

One thing I will say in Billicks defense. Name me one player other than Jamaal Lewis that has been drafted on the offensive side of the ball in Baltimore that is worth spit.

Since '96, here are their first round OFFENSIVE picks:

1996 Ogden - good pick, but not a skill guy

2000 Lewis - great RB (the won the SB with him)

2000 Travis Taylor, WR - who???

2001 Heap - nice player...but not a huge impact

2003 Boller - bust

2005 Clayton - best WR on the team...and he is a possession guy

2007 Grubbs - nice OL

In '08 they got Flacco, but asshole is already gone by then.

My point is...they drafted DEFENSE, not offense, so asshole had very little to work with.

My man B kicked ass with that All Star hoop team he had in Minny.

Those guys would have whipped the Cavs ass in the Stepien era.

Tells me just how bad this season/team is...when i think asshole/Nolan "what an improvement that would be over this disaster we have seen"

Why the hell don't I get gaydar points or whatever for my astute observations on the Baltimore Badass?

This gay rater is tainted and skewed. Matter of fact, it's just flat out unfair.

I think if asshole is on the short list then Savage may be safe. asshole most likely would keep Chud and bring in Marvin Lewis if he is fired. That really doesn't impress me. Teams adjused to Chud's scheme and he wasn't smart enough to readjust. Was Lewis a good DC in Balt or was the personnel good enough to make Lewis look good. He has had horrible defenses at Cincy.

I would take Wade Phillips as a DC, but not a HC.

I would highly consider Andy Reid is he gets let go. He will bring Jim Johnson with him as DC. Also, if that team is let go in Philly and we brought in Spagnola, he would bring in Jimmy Johnson and I would love that.

That brings me back to Pioli and Josh McDaniels. Great fit but I don't know if Lerner will raid NE because the owner there is his best friend and mentor in the NFL. I remember him saying that he asked for his permission for hiring Crennel and also was told "NO" about taking Pioli.

Marty seems to be out and Cowher again said he isn't interested in coaching in 2009. He said he wants to see his last daughter graduate and move on to college before he thinks about coming back to coaching.

I think the problem might be who do you interview first coaches or GMs. I'd really like to know where he is at on Savage's future. That might give you a clue where he may go for a coach.
