Cowher Turns Us Down- Thank God!!!
-
good for the Browns and good for the Steelers.
-
Lerner also said there's a chance Crennel could remain with the Browns as an assistant coach.
I'm sure Lerner spoke to RAC about it this morning; this is a pretty clear sign that RAC's willing to stay on as DC.
-
Many of us had doubts, me first, on Cowher's ability to run a football team from A to Z.
I still consider him a good option as HC but I don't rate him good enough to run the Browns.

You would have Pioli as GM, McDaniels as the HC, RAC as the DC/AHC, and Chud as the OC?
-
Chud should go.
-
If I have to judge on the progresses our D# made so far...better if RAC goes for good.
-
with the reports coming out of Berea that RAC was fired as HC makes me think that RAC has turned that opportunity down

His firing was announced at 9:50, and Lerner met with reporters at 10. If RAC had turned down the opportunity & was subsequently fired, Lerner wouldn't even have mentioned the possibility of him returning.
And about Chud: I think he's gone.

Then we are waiting to see if the new HC to come will want RAC's baggage?

One down (cowher)
Martys not an option lerner wants
Pioli brings prestige but is he his own man or another belicheat yes man is he even interested?
ozzie aint goin nowhere
The tuna who knows?
The plot thickens as top prospects begin to fall away and soon less than capable and or desperate ,crudy and previously fired prospects will be beating the berea hqs doors down as we fans prepare for 4 more years of no name no structure no identity lernerball...

For what it's worth, Tony Grossi said in his podcast that he doesn't think Lerner would have fired Savage without a replacement already in line.
I'm betting that the rumors about Pioli wanting the Browns GM job are true.
-
Crenel staying on at any position will creater a locker room rift.

Thats a valid point!

Baloney on Cowher. His big flappin jaws spit so much, in freezing temps the Steelers' side of the field looked like Siberia in late Winter.
My Browns coaching staff dream team:
******************************************
Pioli would be a great move as GM, I still like Russ Grimm as Head Coach, and Josh McDaniels as assistant HC/OC.
Then the Browns should hire Beans as quarterback coach, and Stan as DC, Flugels as oline coach, Zombo as dback coach,
and the rest of the board as their assistants...
Rich can be waterboy.

With lerner stating cowher wasnt his first choice to begin with and seeking permission to set up an interview with pioli leaves me with little doubt pioli is lerners prime target as gm for the better or for another belichick zombie like crennel remains to be seen he couldnt possibly be any worse than savage..
But piolis choice for HC and assistants will tell us that if he chooses to come to cleveland..
And if he doesnt and the tuna refuses we are in lerners less than capable hands of bringing us a unknown genius or the bottom of the nfl barrel i think we know what we get eh?
Each regime has been proven progressively worse so the next regime will be a great one or will leave us as bad off as detroit..time will tell.
Pioli stacks up on paper and mcdaniels is a promising HC prospect if he comes with pioli..but the only guy in NE thats a truly proven winner is billyboy he does everything there he is a walking nfl encyclopedia that makes krafts ownership and the whole front office look awesome so i do have some doubts and concerns about taking anyone from the patriots except billyboy himself...

I can renew my season tickets now....wasn't gonna do it if they hired Cowher.
Even though I hate Cowher, I have respect for him now, he wanted to remain loyal to the Rooneys. You don't see too much loyalty anymore from players, coaches or management, so I have to admit, turning down $9 million or so to remain loyal is very impressive....something guys like Nick Saban and Rich Rodriguez could learn.

Actually i think cowhers choice really does have more to do with lifestyle and having visions of a ditka style heart attack on the football field then loyalty he really likes being called coach without the anquish of being one...lol
Cowhers a great guy i have always had respect for him though i hated him at the same time...

...and Ghoolie can chase malcontents with a top of the line whipping belt. Braylon, you're first in line!
I was wondering when Grimm's name would be mentioned. Boy, did he ever fall off the map. He was my choice in 2004, but I haven't heard his name since, except for when Whisenhunt dragged him to Arizona.

Maybe we can finally put the Cowher thing to rest. Apparently when he says no to Cleveland, we shouldn't think $$ can buy anybody.
Lerner has now asked permission to talk to Pioli. Pioli is already a Vice President in New England and if the owner (who is a friend of Lerner's) says no, then Cleveland may be required to compensate New England for Pioli.
