    I really think no one wants to coach here with the legal problems of the owner, etc. We will end up with Green Bay's Offensive Coordinator. Woopie.

    what this means is that he wasn't nailed down before the Chud firing, which makes the Chud firing that much more unacceptable. So it's just like last season now...they get turned down by their "guy", than hire the first guy that says yes?

    wtf is going on in Cleveland guys? I mean seriously...at this point you have to wonder if they're trying to shitcan the organization. There is now zero excuse for firing a 1 year coach. At the very least Chud was a guy who had a history with the Browns and someone who grew up rooting for the Browns. That was a guy who would have stayed here for a long time and really tried to build something. This is shit now. This really is shit. My one holdout on the Chud firing was that they had their guy lying in wait. There is simply no excuse now for what's going on. Lombardi has to go.

    That's exactly what my first thought was too. To get rid of a guy after only one year had to mean there was a sure thing waiting out there.

    Logically, that would have been McDaniels with the connections, but who knows, it could be someone else we don't know about.

    No kidding, it is for this reason that I've lost all faith in this FO. How could they not have someone lined up before firing Chud, and not realize that by firing him they would make the job less attractive to potential candidates? I think their best shot at this point is with a college coach who isn't as wired-in to the negativity surrounding the Browns or for a coordinator desperate for a shot at HC, which means it won't be some of the highly-touted coordinators out there.

    Wouldn't it be funny if they named Norv Turner an interim head coach? I wouldn't hate it, honestly. I'd like to see what he can do with a real QB and RB.

    where's turner gonna find either one on the browns roster?

    like he didn't have that with rivers and tomlinson?

    i hope you are joking.

    This just proves NO ONE wants to work for Banner. I hope Haslem is taking notes and gets rid of Banner ASAP.

    Why would anyone want to be the coach here, when they have NO power at all. Banner didn't even let Chud hire his own assistants.

    Sadly, if McDaniels' withdrawal is true (I didn't want him anyway), that leaves Haslams' FO the laughing stock of the NFL with practically ZERO credibility. Without firing both Banner & Lombardi immediately, it will take some lucky hiring (HC AND Assistants), a GREAT FA period & draft, and at least ONE playoff year to regain any sense of credibility & respect for Haslam.

    Jimmy, you're old enough to know "Perception is reality" & perception of you & your FO can't get much more negative. It's indeed unfortunate that you lacked the foresight to see this coming. MOST unfortunate is what you've done to the greatest Fans in the NFL. I DO have one favor to ask....When you hire the next HC, make sure it's a good one & then let him COACH HIS way!

    Excuse me, I must go order my 3 stooges T-shirt now.

    Why would anyone want that epic failure as our HC? I am so glad he withdrew. I don't believe for one minute he was the choice.

    What a shit-show. I didn't want McDaniels anyway, but it is never a good look when people are turning down being considered for the job. No one with any credible head coaching experience is going to be interested in working under this FO. Maybe Banner should just coach the team if he thinks he knows so fucking much. The Browns are turning into the new Raiders right in front of our eyes.

    I don't know enough about Banner to comment on this, Brother Steve.

    However, I can tell you that Belichick considers 'stability and quality of ownership' to be paramount when choosing a HC positions.

    Few remember - or admit - that Belichick was in front of the curtain while the entire Browns organization was going down the toilet - just a few feet behind the curtin.

    That is why he resigned from the Jets just 24 hours after being named HC by Parcells - he didn't feel comfortable working for an organization headed by Woody Johnson - just after living through the Art Model disaster with the Browns.

    In many ways, IMHO, this is why he and Mangini had such a personal issue. Mangini, not only left Belichick, he left for an intra-divisional rival headed by the lousy ownership of Wood Johnson.

    After being a HC at Denver, I don't buy McDaniel was 'not ready' to make the next step. He was already there but the current Browns FO didn't look all that appealing to him.

    I wouldnt be surprised if he ends up with another team on the sidelines on Sunday afternoon next season. Just not with the Browns FO.

    Any way, I didn't want McDaniel to be hired by the Browns. This is ironic because the way it appears to have happened is that he walked away from Cleveland, not vice versa.

    Not good either way on this one

    However, I do consider it a knock on the Browns organization. Why would McDaniel REALLY walk away (and into another HC position this year or next??)

    But there are only 32 of these jobs in the entire world blah blah blah blah.

    I can't believe people have already forgotten about how this works when it's happened to us in 2011 under Holmgren and 2013.
