    If we get Kelly, you can bet Colin Klein will be on the team next year.

          Actually I hate Oregon's uniforms, but I like the idea of having a coach who is considered among the best at developing an offense. Brian Kelly would be a great hire as well.

            If Belichick is consulting him for offensive advice, that says something. The Patriots no-huddle offense finished this season 1st in points and yds. BTW without a running QB.

            Game doesn't translate to the NFL?

                If we get Chip Kelly, I am going to go out on a limb and say that grabbing Vick at a much discounted wage from this year in order to be our WildDawg QB would be a potentially dominate setup. Chip Kelly isn't my top choice, but he's definitely not my lowest.

                  Vick had better be a 1 year rental if that. He is a turnover machine.

                    I honestly don't think Kelly's offense would work in the NFL, and I really don't think any of our key offensive players (QB, RB, WR) fit his scheme. But twitter isn't really the best place to get news like this. I mean I could tweet "Browns sign Kelly", "Browns sign Gruden", "Browns sign Lovie Smith", and out of 100 tweets like that 1 has to be right? I also worry that a college coach could pull a Spurrier/Saban and stick around for 1-2 years then bolt.

                    I really don't care at this point who the Browns pick, I just want winning and stability! The only guys I'm strongly against are Horton and Lombardi for obvious reasons. Pick a guy and stick with him for the long haul.

                            Cracks me up that the people that don't want Chip Kelly think the people that do want Chip Kelly because of Oregon's uniforms. No one gives a shit. We just want a high octane potent offense instead of this shit we've watched for years now.

                                Dirk Koetter is shit I don't want him. He has tons of talent to work with in Atlanta. He was awful in Jacksonville. He was terrible at Arizona St.

                                  Uniforms have more of a impact in college, than the NFL. In college flashy jerseys and helmets are used to attract recruits, something Oregon's connection with Nike and HGI helps take advantage of. In the NFL, teams only update jerseys for sales and teams are only allowed to have 3. So the "Oregon treatment" wouldn't work nor be encouraged in the NFL. Teams aren't trying to recruit players. Free Agents are attracted to teams because of money and winning, not uniforms. Fans buy uniforms to support their team, not because they are "cool". Do people think a Steelers or Bills fan buys jerseys based on what they look like? If that were the case teams like them with ugly jerseys would never sell anything.

                                      @incarceratedbob just tweeted that Browns are 95% close to deal with Chip Kelly. Just working out final contract language with agent and waiting until after Fiesta Bowl to sign.

                                        Screw the F**ks unis. What I want to know is if Kelly's uptempo offense will work in the Pros.

                                          Here's your daily look at the latest news, rumors, updates and reports as the Cleveland Browns try to find their next head coach.

                                          • Syracuse's Doug Marrone has lined up an interview with the Browns, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Marrone will also reportedly interview with the Bills.

                                          Marrone has taken the Orange to two bowl games in four seasons. He was previously offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints.

                                          Brent Axe, writing on syracuse.com, on Marrone:

                                          "I think Bills and Browns fans would come to like Marrone eventually with his 'straight shooter' mentality and love for the game, but it would be tough to get that chance in those two markets."

                                          • Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton will also interview with the Browns, CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports. Horton, having survived the firing of head coach Ken Whisenhunt, is also a candidate with the Cardinals as well as the Bills.

                                          From a story on ArizonaSports.com:

                                          "Horton has certainly succeeded during his two years with the Cardinals. In 2012, Arizona's defense under Horton ranked No. 2 in third down defense (allowed just 32.9 percent of all attempted conversions), No. 4 in takeaways (34) and No. 5 in pass defense (allowed 200.8 yards per game)."

                                          • However, Andy Reid now appears to be the frontrunner now in Arizona, according to KTVK-TV's Tim Ring. WKNR's Kenny Roda reports Reid will be joined by former Browns GM Tom Heckert, however The PD's Mary Kay Cabot says Heckert will likely land somewhere else.

                                          • Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter will also be interviewed by the Browns as previously reported by FOX Sports' Alex Marvez. Koetter now has interviews scheduled with the Chiefs and Eagles as well, NFL.com reports.

                                          • Oregon's Chip Kelly is believed to be the Browns' top choice, however, he remains focused on getting the Ducks ready for the Fiesta Bowl. From a story on oregonlive.com:

                                          "Asked about the openings Monday in Arizona, where he is preparing the Ducks for Thursday's Fiesta Bowl against Kansas State, Kelly said the NFL news posed no distraction for him. Pressed further on whether it was his dream to coach in the NFL, Kelly said no, his dream was simply to do the best job he can each day."

                                          • Jon Gruden could be interested in coaching again in 2013. The former Bucs and Raiders coach turned 'Monday Night Football' analyst will interview for open NFL jobs, CBS Sports reports. He's resisted overtures in the past, saying he was content at ESPN. Gruden, of course, is a native of Sandusky. Before the draft last April, he said he loved Brandon Weeden.

                                          • New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels says he's not interviewing for head coaching jobs, despite earlier rumors he would be a top target of the Browns and paired with personnel man Mike Lombardi. McDaniels, however, in a conference call with reporters in Boston said,

                                          “I’m happy here. My family is happy here. We’re excited about what’s ahead of us here in the playoffs, and to talk about any other opportunities at this point is, to me, irrelevant, because I’m totally focused on this season and what this season holds."

                                          • If the Browns are really interested in Bill O'Brien, there's the small matter of a $9.2 million buyout in his contract at Penn State. David Jones of the Patriot-News doesn't necessarily think O'Brien will bolt after just one season in Happy Valley, but writes his flirting with the NFL may be a negotiating ploy.

                                          "I think it's about freedom. O'Brien wants to have his options open, to be able to go to the NFL in the future should he so desire. If he and his agent can get the buyout clause removed, then he can pursue his NFL dream after next season or some subsequent one."

                                          Philadelphia, Arizona and San Diego are interested in O'Brien, according to CBS's Jason La Canfora.

                                          • If Alabama was really worried about Nick Saban leaving for the NFL (and presumably the Browns), you'd think it would be higher than No. 6 on AL.com's list of Top 10 Tide stories of 2012. Still, the Akron Beacon Journal's Marla Ridenour seems to think Jimmy Haslam was describing Saban when asked about his ideal qualities in a coach.

                                          • Former Browns offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is a candidate in San Diego, NFL.com reports.

                                          • Former Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt will interview with the Bills, NFL.com reports. Ex-Bears coach Lovie Smith is also interested in the Bills' job.

                                          • The Bills have also asked to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, the Denver Post reports. The Bears and Cardinals have already set up interviews with McCoy.

                                          • Former Browns president Mike Holmgren is willing to listen if anybody wants to interview him, ESPN's Ed Werder reports.
