Browns To Interview

Per Mary Kay's tweet browns to also interview panthers/ former browns OC Rob Chudzinski
She's tweeted how many names now? Eventually she will get it right I guess.

What really started bothering me was when she started saying "might." The Browns might consider Saban, might consider Gruden, might consider whoever. Really she could say the Browns might consider any coach on the planet, doesn't mean they actually will.

AP Source: Browns interviewing Rob Chudzinski
By TOM WITHERS (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press – 45 minutes ago...
.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Rob Chudzinski might get a third shot at coaching the Browns. Maybe this time as the head man.
A person familiar with the meeting says Chudzinski, Carolina's offensive coordinator the past two seasons, is interviewing Wednesday with the Browns. Chudzinski had two previous stints as an assistant with Cleveland, the team he rooted for as a kid.
Chudzinski is visiting the team's facility in Berea, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams are not confirming any interviews. Chudzinski's interview comes one day after the Browns met with another former assistant, Marc Trestman, currently coach of the CFL's Montreal Alouettes.
The Plain Dealer first reported Chudzinski's interview.
The 44-year-old Chudzinski has spent the past two seasons with the Panthers working with quarterback Cam Newton. Carolina finished fifth in total offense in 2011 and 12th last season under Chudzinski. He was Cleveland's tight ends coach in 2004, but was fired along with the rest of Butch Davis' staff. He returned to the club in 2007 as the offensive coordinator for Romeo Crennel.
Last year, Chudzinski interviewed for head coaching jobs with St. Louis, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay.
Chudzinski's connections with the Browns run deep.
He grew up in Toldeo, Ohio, pulling for the Browns and he was thrilled to be part of Davis' staff. After he left Cleveland the first time, he spent two seasons as San Diego's tight ends coach, working with perennial Pro Bowl standout Antonio Gates, before he was hired by Crennel in 2007.
That year, the Browns won 10 games - their most wins since 1999 - and had four players make the Pro Bowl. However, 2008 didn't go nearly as well as injuries and a six-game losing streak to close the season resulted in a 4-12 record and the firing of Crennel.
Chudzinski went back to the Chargers for two more seasons before he was hired in Carolina.
After meeting with Chudzinski, the Browns are expected to interview Indianapolis offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. The Colts have granted the Browns permission to speak with Arians, who has been hospitalized twice in recent days with an inner ear infection.
Arians fell ill on Sunday and had to miss the Colts' playoff loss to Baltimore.
Arians also has ties to the Browns, serving as their offensive coordinator from 2001-03.
FOX Sports reported the team will interview Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, the first known defensive coach to meet with the Browns.
Owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner are in Week 2 of their search to find a ''strong leader'' to take over the Browns, who went 5-11 this season.

^^ seems like a nice slew of options

Honestly the encouraging thing to me is that they're taking their time and interviewing a broad base of candidates. I mean why would you not? They clearly wanted Chip and it didn't pan out. There's nothing wrong with reaching a wider breadth of guys as long as you don't miss out on the one you want.
-
Rob C. Hometown guy that went to St. Johns H.S. right here in Toledo. Some interesting choices will be made here soon. Hopefully. Wouldn't mind seeing Zimmer or Trestman as a coach, with Chud as a OC. And wouldn't complain about any of them being our next HC. Seeing Chud as a HC coach would be pretty cool.

Zimmer or Chud for HC
DASDATSHITIDOLIKE!
BuT i would rather have chud for HC and zimmer for DC. Idk how zimmers offensive strategy would compare to Chud
-
Let's just hope if Chud is the guy we go into an infinite loop of that 07 offense and not 08.
-
I miss Chud.
Also, while looking for stuff we said about Chud when he was here the last time, I stumbled across this gem of a thread.
It's just weird seeing us talk about Delhomme as a Panther and the theory that Carolina might be taking a young QB.
-
I bet Chudzinsky would love to get away from ole cammy special newton.....
if anything good gets through the gifted QB's head, it'll probably be from what he learned from
Chudzinsky, if not, an old fashioned beat down from Ron Rivera would do the trick.

Browns to interview Ghoolie for vacant HC position. Qualifications, knows more about football than any current HC or GM in the NFL. Outside the box contrarian thinker. Excellent at playing the Browns fight song on his accordion to get the team fired up before the game.
Disapointed he didn't get the Emcee gig to replace Gene Carroll on "Polka Varieties".
But seriously folks, we can't bring Zimmer here just as a DC- that's considered a lateral move. Has to be a promotion to say at least assistant HC.

Probably a college coach that doesn't want the public to know.
Or maybe Jerry Sandusky ... he's kinda shy on the media.

I just love how vague her reports have become.
"Breaking News, the Browns will select an unidentified player in this years draft"

It feels like we're going to settle for a coach

More than likely. Who the hell wants to coach this team? You're most likely going to be fired after two years. Yeah yeah new owner whatever. The Browns HC job is the least appealing due to the shit we've been through for over a decade.
-
Wisenhunt interviewed a 2nd time today. That's most likely the unidentfied coach.
