  • Report: If Cleveland Browns hire Michael Lombardi, Alabama's Nick Saban would be likely head coach target Andrew Gribble | [email protected] 12/09/2012 1:11 PM

    TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- According to a report in today's Boston Globe, Nick Saban could be targeted as the Cleveland Browns' next head coach if the woebegone franchise hires one of his former colleagues as general manager.

    Michael Lombardi, an analyst for the NFL Network, could be in line to become Cleveland's next general manager if new owner Jimmy Haslam and team president Joe Banner cut ties with current GM Tom Heckert, according to the report, which cites anonymous NFL sources. The organization has already parted ways with president Mike Holmgren since Haslam took over as the team's owner in October, and there have been no guarantees made about the future of Heckert or coach Pat Shurmur.

    The Browns are currently 4-8, went 4-12 in 2011 and have had just two winning seasons since 1999.

    Lombardi and Saban worked together during the 90s, when Saban was the Browns' defensive coordinator and Lombardi was the Director of Player Personnel.

    <b> According to the report, Saban has "let it be known that if he returns to the NFL ... it would likely be with Lombardi playing (Scott) Pioli to his (Bill) Belichick." </b>

    Pioli, who is now the Kansas City Chiefs' general manager, and Belichick, a close friend of Saban's, won three Super Bowls together with the New England Patriots.

    If Saban opted to stay at Alabama, Oregon coach Chip Kelly and former Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels would be Lombardi's next two choices, according to the report.

    Saban went 15-17 over two seasons as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins before he left in 2007 to become Alabama's head coach.

    In an interview Friday with the Smashmouth Radio Network on ESPN 97.3 The Zone in Birmingham, Saban's wife, Terry, strongly denied that her husband had any interest in rebuilding another college program or returning to the NFL.

    “To answer your question and get right to the point, no,” she said. “We’re very comfortable here. We love it here. It’s a great fit for our family. It’s a good fit for me. As far as we’re concerned, this is where we’ll retire someday.

    “As far as jobs go, this is it for us. I don’t mean to be presumptuous. I would have to talk this over with Nick, but as far as I’m concerned, this is it.”

    If this rumor proves to be true, it would be nothing short of disastrous for the Browns. Although Saban has proven to be an excellent college coach, his NFL career has been less than stellar, with his performance in Miami coming to mind. And any personnel change involving hiring Lombardi would be a guaranteed losing scenario. That fat piece of shit has proven time and time again that he does not have the ability to handle the duties of a GM. Just look at how he botched his stints with Cleveland and Oakland. Dude is a fucking joke...

  • well..

    i think Shurmur is making the choice hard on Haslam. If and it is a big if, Shurmur wins out how can they fire him? I mean the team is playing well and excited.

    is it me or does Shurmur actually seem like he gained some weight between his ears?

  • I would be less pissed if they just replaced the head coach. Heckert is doing a great job, he has drafted a solid core of young talented players, which is more than can be said for the previous expansion Browns regimes. But Haslam/Banner will fuck up royally if they fire Heckert in favor of bringing in Lombardi. That dude is a first class homer, who has a proven track record of taking talented teams and completely destroying them with his ineptitude.

  • That Saban's name should come up is no surprise to me.

    And he has denied stuff before that actually came true. (I am not leaving the Dolphins for Alabama.).

    Saban would bring credibility....even if he insists on bringing Lombardi along as baggage.

    So I am conflicted about this whole thing.

    If they bring in this fat POS Lom'tardi back to the Browns they may as well move the team to LA. IMHO.

    This guy's track record makes Phil Savage look like a genius. AND he thought us taking Josh Gordon in the Supplemental was a bad Idea. Excuse me while I hurl at the thought of this guy doing the drafting. Bill B worked with him and didn't want him back- he's flopped everywhere he's been. How many teams have to fire him before the light bulb comes on that as a GM, only Matt Millen could be considered worse (and that's marginal).

  • Why the hell would Saban leave when he's the top dawg in college football? Why come here with the added stress and lack of recruiting advantage. Some coaches are just college coaches and Saban is one of them.

  • I have bolded his "good" moves.

  • Asomugah, Turner, and Metcalf in how many years? Gallery was drafted to be a stud LT, blew dead worms at the position, had to be moved to guard. Janikowski was a monumental reach in the first round. & like I said, Lombardi could just have been Al Davis' coffee fetcher, while senile Al made the picks.

    ONE guy with HOF credentials (Namdi) in 19 seasons? No thank you.

    How many monumental busts?

  • I have bolded his "good" moves.

    He was drafted second overall as a tackle and he became a mediocre guard that never made one pro bowl.

    That's a bust at #2.

    My fault. I thought he was decent.

  • If someone wants to look this up because I do not, I called this at the beginning of the year!!!! Lombardi becoming the GM is not a big deal because Saban will have all the player calls. I think Nick Saban would be a great coach. We have his fullback and Runningback already in Cleveland. Saban is a big Defense guy..

    What Cleveland likes

    Nasty defense and a Nasty run offense..SABAN perfect for the Browns....

    There is no way Shurmer stays....Really our only good win is against Cincy.....

    San Diego Sucks

    Pittsburgh Sucks without Big Ben, Palomalo, harrison, Clark

    Oakland really

    Kansas City Really

    What will cost Shurmer his job is the Philly, Indy, Balt, NY, Dallas games all games where we should or could have won. Getting Shurmered is not a good thing. Shit Shurmer tried to lose the Oakland game too

    I'm not sold or even on the wagon with Patty boy yet. I'm glad the team is learning to win and from last game, don't let up. But let's be real, the teams we beat stink. I'll have some faith on Pansy boy if we put up a good showing the last games.

  • Who were the players he missed out on? I thought they showed an infographic during the Browns/Raiders game.

  • Why the hell would Saban leave when he's the top dawg in college football? Why come here with the added stress and lack of recruiting advantage. Some coaches are just college coaches and Saban is one of them.

    No, I disagree. Saban, I believe, at heart is an NFL coach.

    Why should he leave college football? Because he is bored there...and if he stays...as I have said before, he should just announce his retirement.

    Actually, bringing back Lombardi would be monumentally stupid. Much worse than the Walrus bringing in Patsy. Shurmur only failed once as an OC before Holmgren brought him in. Lombardi has an unabated record of failure. Puke- giving a job to one of your pals that doesn't deserve it by a long shot Joe? I'd perefer NO ONE instead. Sheeze, the season ain't over- yet. Patsy wins 2 out of 3 and my bet is he earns another year.

    Plus, Saban has flopped once as an NFL HC- no guarantee he'd be any better the second time around.

    As to the HC making the player calls with a doofus GM- I have two words for you BUTCH DAVIS. So how did that turn out?

    Is this truly all you have to contribute? I mean, the vacuous intellectual level of certain Steeler trolls is smoetime laughable.

    There are some really decent ones....Endymion e.g.

    There is Vagitron who is not a totally unfortunate fool...he just often lives up to his name.

    Maybe a few others.

    Then there are the hordes of troglodytes and Simians like you....who are essentially characters from a Stanley Kubrick movie:
