Crennel would consider staying with Browns

"I'd have to sit down and talk to Scott ...."
That tells me Romeo let the cat out of the bag that Pioli's hiring is a done deal and the interview tomorrow will be academic....then the official announcement tomorrow afternoon in Berea.

I one of the few who like Romeo and actually wanted to give him another chance as HC next year, but now that he's gone we cant have him in any other coaching position.... People are human, players have allegiances, and it could get ugly

I hope you're right about that.

i don't want a belichick/parcells 3-4 disciple at DC. regardless of the base scheme we run, though i vastly prefer the 3-4, i want a DC who will bring in a one-gap, attacking D, something that belichick/parcells guys don't do. rac's previous success in the scheme doesn't entice me. i want an aggressive, attacking style.

Crennel has been a class act. From Insiders such as Dieken, Jim Donovan, Sam Rutiliano, Tony Grossi, etc .. they've stated that Romeo may have been the ONLY class act in the Berea complex.

According to Mike Florio, part of the reason Pioli may want Romeo to stick around is to point out which of those class-less individuals need to be canned.
Sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure I'd be interested in having him come back as DC. Instead, perhaps we could charge him with fixing a specific problem area in our defense.
The Patriots brought in Dom Capers and gave him the title Special Assistant / Secondary. Maybe we can get RAC to become Special Assistant / Teach Wimbley a 2nd pass-rush move.

First of all, thank God it's finally happened. Clean slate, start over, new hope. Yes, it's sad that's what we have to celebrate but it's better than the alternative of RAC's stodginess and Savage's inconsistency yet again.
If it's true RAC was the "only" class act of these jokers, then fine, let him stay on as an advisor but keep him away from the field. Give him a nice retiree type job, kind of like a younger version of Jim Brown for the team. Let him be Grandpa RAC to the kids but please, nothing more.
As for RAC letting it slip, I doubt he did that. He's pretty tight-lipped. I'd bet he was responding to a question like "what if Pioli is hired?" and thus the use of Pioli's name.

I think the specific question he was asked is missing more than RAC let the cat out of the bag about who the new GM is.

Not quite- you have to remember the "Rooney Rule" Lerner\ Pioli at least have to make the pretense to bring in one minority interviewee to make it look good. The Bills DC would fill the bill.
Sounds more and more like Savage was the big problemo- but you can't totally absolve Crenell for some really lousy clock management, and horrendous gameday decisions.
Keeping RAC around as a Jim Brown Jr might be a good idea- nice big fat shoulder to cry on when things aren't going well.

Just leave Cleveland RAC and do some wonderfull coordinating somewhere else.
-
Only if Crennel wants to coach the Dline can he stick around.

The Rooney Rule applies to Head Coaching positions. Not GM's or Director of Player Personnel.

No thanks.
Imagine the problems in the locker room that would arise out of having the elephant still around.

How many quarters of football did the Browns play without an offensive touchdown? How many games in a row were they shut out? I'm blaming Crennelephant and Savage equally, they both sucked.

Not really sure how keeping a guy around in a lesser role would really cause problems. I have heard plenty of players say they support Crennel. I haven't heard anyone come out and say that they dispise him. Sure, some were probably fed up with the way he was running the show on game days and what not, but he wouldnt be "the man" anymore. I really don't see a problem with him say coaching the D-line. Not that I'd be in favor of it, but I don't see how him being in a non decision making role would cause any problems. Its like if your boss got a demotion and was now someone elses less powerful boss on a different floor, would you really care?

Could this just be a case of to much on one man, maybe HC was just to much for him.

The bottomline is crennels assistants sucked romeo couldnt bring in decent coaches/trainers/mentors himself and had to deal with what he was given and i cant believe those same douchebags are still at least temporarily employed lerner is a real jerk...
It just seems to me that if you have no confidence in your coaches hires and you dont trust the coaches evaluation skills you fire the coach not give him a staff that my local high school wouldnt hire..
Perhaps rac would be a good DC under pioli..

I'm going to echo many of the above sentiments and say hell to the no... get this dude outta here. He accepts losing and that'll never be OK with Browns Fans.
