        10 million a year? That would be 3 more than Hoodie and 2 more than Payton I believe. NO thanks.

          Numero uno candidate is Cowher.........

          then Saban........then..........Kelly..............then Mcdaniels.......which my source is saying is the frontrunner.........though the L.Smith situation may have just muddled that up.

          The O'brien stuff is a hoot. Pure media mumbling.

          I would break the bank for Cowher! But my next choice would be Kelly.

            What makes you clowns think that Cowher wants to coach? The guy has his Super Bowl ring, he's got a nice cushy job for CBS where he doesn't have to work all that hard and is probably making some pretty good money. You really think he wants to come back to 16 hour work days and all the bull shit that comes with being an NFL coach? The guy had a great career as a head coach but I would be really afraid of a guy like that who is just in it for the money and not going to put in the work, he doesn't need to prove himself to anyone. Think Holmgren in Cleveland except you want Cowher to be the coach.

                just kinda think he's got the Shottenhiemer thing...just can't win the big one

                  As far as I'm concerned, "the big one" is win number 11.

                    Um, Saban has already flopped once in the Pros, plus he's on the high side of 60. Bring in a young guy- Kid Shanahan fits my thinking. If you're hiring a guy for the long haul, Saban ain't it.

                      Two high-ranking #NFL personnel execs say Oregon HC Chip Kelly is the clear #1 choice for the Browns.

                      per Adam Caplan on twitter.

                        1) Don't believe a damn thing ESPN tweets.

                        2) Kelley pluses workaholic, smart.

                        3) Doubts hyperspeed Oregon offense will work in pros. Is he adaptable enough to fit scheme to talent?

                          Adam Caplan works for NFL network if i'm not mistaken. I don't believe anything I read...but it is interesting to the discussion.

                            Honestly I'd be happy with any of the following

                            1 - Arians - Do I need to expand upon this?

                            2 - Gruden - I know he is high on Weeden. I think an offseason with Weeden would be beneficial to both as well as the team and the fanbase. If anyone can reach him, I think it's Gruden.

                            3 - Saban - I'm in the camp that thinks he has one thing left to prove, and that's victory in the NFL. I hope so.

                            4 - O'Brien/Kelly - These guys did a stellar job with their respective teams. I feel that their talents would translate to the NFL.

                            5 - Shanahan - I think he may well be the next Harbaugh.

                              just saw on the ESPN bottom line that Shanahan is not going to allow any of his assistants to interview as long as the Skins are in the playoffs.

                                  Can we please stop with Cowher, he is not coming to Cleveland. Neither is Gruden even thou we have a better chance in Gruden than Cowher. I do not understand the love affair with him. Because he coached for the Browns back in the day??

                                  All I want so someone with some fire in the Belly. Yes Cowher did have that, but not anymore

                                  Would I take Cowher 10 years ago?? Yes, now hell no

                                  Would I take Holgrem 10 years agao?? Yes, now hell no

                                  come on people

                                      I wonder the same thing you do. As I see it, any college coach should be dominant at that level to be considered as an NFL HC, but what do I know? We'll see.

                                        At this point, does it hurt to interview him? Probably not. All the guys we really want are either in the playoffs or preparing for bowl games. I wouldn't expect any big names in town for at least a week.

                                        Also, as per Adam Caplan on twitter

                                        Two high-ranking #NFL personnel execs say Oregon HC Chip Kelly is the clear #1 choice for the Browns.

                                          Chip Kelly would be a great hire. I still think it was a mistake to let Heckert go tho.
