Franklin to interview

  • Known as a great recruiter, that doesn't help much in NFL be he does seem like a sharp offensive mind.

    Only NFL experience was as a Packer WR coach one year.

    Looks like he's not getting Penn State, he did not get Texas, so he may jump at the chance at coaching in the NFL if Jimmy opens his wallet.

    It would be a risky hire, but some of the best coaches are.

  • Stoops or Franklin would impress more than McDaniel just in the fact that I would know this isn't some thing where they all have the same agent and Lombardi and Banner are in love with the Belichick protege after the last two we endured crashed and burned.

  • James Franklin is a buzzy guy, he'd be seen as a get. Offensive mastermind, helped by Chip Kelly success. Stoops rumor was wrong, Browns not pursuing.

    Keep in mind, the first person they reached out to "officially" was Gase. I'm almost certain they got word from McDaniels' camp that he was into it this year before firing Chud.

    Those three feel like the most likely.

    Yep but Franklin turned a 2 win team into a winner and didnt have Tom Brady. From a character POV Franklin would be great for cleveland.

    Hoping this is true. Reason number 1 is that it isn't McDaniels.

    Good points, Johnny M!

    Agreed.

    If McDaniel is hired you might as well just fire Lombardi and hire from Belichick's tree - a pretty spotty tree - as Cleveland fans already learned.

    Stoops would be dynamic and a true, IMHO, sign this organization is about winning. They hired 'Chud' - as uninspiring and unsuccessful as that was.

    I have nothing against Franklin but I know a lot less about him.

    I think the rumors are being started by the agents of the coaches that are being tossed around in hopes it will force their current college teams to pony up.

    for sure. Stoops just beat Alabama, and the Browns are interested in him = pay raise at OKL

  • We won't see a Hired HC in cleveland for at least two more weeks. I just hope we don't wait so long to pick up scrapes.

    Cleveland.com reported Stoops wouldn't be interviewed

    that site is not very reliable.

    Plain Dealer bro?

    yeah that site. It sucks

  • I can make an LBCMike - browns.com and I probably have better sources in ghetto long beach. 🙂 insider reporting.

  • It's tough trying to hire a head coach especially when other teams need head coaches. In the draft you select the guy you want pay him what he's gotta get and bingo. If your front office is made up of assholes a coach doesn't have to take the job especially when he's got other offers. Like I said before a guy in the organization told me that part of the reason it's hard to hire a coach is because of joe banners shitty personality. I can't believe that. If McDaniels is the guy I think we are lucky that he gets along with Lombardi.

  • For me to get the plain dealer in paper form I would have to fly to Cleveland. Being on the west coast I have to rely on the internet 😉

  • Turned a horrible team around in a tough conference. Has had to make due with scrubs and still wins. I wouldn't be opposed to having him as a coach. But I am in the same camp as most fans on here. Just bring in someone and stick with them for more than a year.
