  • AReid, no way we need to cut the cord with all the Eagle personnel. Think he needs some time away as well. We need to build our Identity ourself. Need someone eager,innovative,and disciplined. Don't know who that could be, but they are out there.

  • Mike McCoy was an offensive assistant in Carolina when they had Jake Delhomme lead them to the Superbowl, and he was in charge of the offense in Denver when he had Tim Tebow lead them to a playoff victory over the stooolers. Those 2 things are pretty impressive feats

    "And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."

  • 3 people I would like

    Saban- He is a Outstanding coach, the Fit down in Miami did not work so he hauled ass. Cleveland guy who understands what Cleveland is all about Remember what he said to TRich when we drafted him

    Mccoy- His track recored speaks for itself, what he has done as a OC is crazy, granted this year might be his easiest year. " Hey Peyton I am going to go play 18 holes today you got this right"

    Reid- I am telling you this guy can coach!!!! His track record speaks for itself. The one mistake he made was putting all his eggs in the Vick basket. I think he would be outstanding plus he still is hungry for a ring that he came up short on.

    If I had to guess how the Browns feel it would be in order of Reid, Saban, then Mccoy

  • We're a really young football team, but our Offensive and Defensive Coordinators are older than dirt. Shurmur is a guy that will grow on you but still rub you the wrong way, I'd have to say ditch him. We're going to need a New Head Coach, New Offensive and Defensive Coaches and possibly a New General Manager. The team is young and feisty but the Coaches need an overhaul.

    I don't think Weeden is the Guy.

    I don't think Shurmur is the Guy.

    ...Is that Paul Brown clone ready yet?

    Honestly the more i think about it, the more Nick Saban might be the guy, and I know a lot of you will say that he couldnt get it done with the Dolphons, so he wont here. He did take a pitiful Dolphins team and go 15-17 in 2 years, with the likes of Gus Ferotte.

    We are a defensive team, first right now, kind of like Alabama. Yes we have playmakers on offense like TRich(Bama) and Josh Gordon could be our Julio Jones type WR. We've got a solid, not great OL, I think 1 player away (maybe even Warmack from Bama).

    Saban has worked with smart but not great QBs at Bama in McCaron and McElroy. Weeden hasnt shown to be the smartest QB out there, but I think he is easily better than either of those guys, talent-wise. We just need to make sure he makes smart decisions.

    I feel we have the personnel in place for Saban to come in and be successful right away. We wouldn't have to change a whole heck of a lot I dont think.

    Saban is 62+ years old. I bet Haslam will want a younger coach that will stay in Cleveland for a long time. Plus, Saban can't coach. He can only recruit. And that won't help in the NFL..

    Don't scoff at Big Phil yet...think about this for just a minute.

    In the College Football HOF

    Won a National Championship

    2 SEC Championships

    6 SEC Easter Division Titles

    151-52-1(.743 W-L%)

    8 Bowl wins

    Most important a close friend of Jimmy H.and he's unemployed...plus getting close to collecting social security which means he would agree to a lower salary.

    Just having some fun here, I know Big Phil is staying in Knoxville. It would be one hell of a bombshell though.

    I'm guessing if Jimmy wanted to kick the Haslam era off on the wrong foot this would just about do it.

  • I just want a spread formation guy and offense oriented with a strong defensive coordinator.

    Phil Fullmer was fired by Tennesse... So yes, that would be an awful idea.

  • Guys that I think may be in the radar:

    1. Saban. Why?: a. Haslam will want to get him out of the SEC so his Vols will have a chance...and Haslam will like the SEC connection. And Haslam would give Saban most of the football authority b. he has done everything he can do in college (especially if he wins again) which leads to c. Saban will want to prove to himself he can succeed in the NFL.

    I think the Haslam connection...and the fact that Saban is a Kent State alum and former Browns DC would make the Browns more appealing to him than most other teams. d. there is young talent here as well that Saban could mold into his image.

    2. Gruden. Why?: As I said elsewhere, those rumors about him going to UT and getting a piece of the Browns was a garbled rumor. It was "he is going to the orange and brown" and coaching the Browns.

    3. Josh McDaniels. Why? a. Haslam could see McDaniels as a Belichick clone, i.e. a guy that was not successful in his first gig but who could come back and make a big name for himself on his second time around. b. Robert Kraft and Haslam are now buddies and Kraft has been mentoring Haslam in ownership style....and may have reccomended McDaniels for the job. c. McDaniels is a local guy, though that means little it may still be a poker chip.

    I do not see strictly college coaches like Kelly etc. getting the nod. I do not think Bill O'Brien will leave Penn St. in the lurch.

    I will also defer to you all about some of the coordinators....like McCoy whom several mentioned. I am just not familiar enough with them......but.....I do agree that if Haslam wants to follow the Steelers model, that is exactly the type of direction he may want to go.
