    According to Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Browns could target LSU’s Cam Cameron and Dowell Loggains for their offensive coordinator spot.

    Cameron has been a head coach for the Miami Dolphins for just one season and was the offensive coordinator for most of the season for the Baltimore Ravens when they won the Super Bowl. He was replaced before the end of the season by Jim Caldwell; a move he praised, calling it the right decision for the situation.

    Cameron has since been tasked with working to add more of a dynamic passing element to the LSU Tigers offense, which specifically centered around getting improvement from Zach Mettenberger. They had success in that and the offense was much improved, showcasing a number of future NFL players including wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, running back Jeremy Hill and guard Trai Turner. Should the Browns give Cameron the nod, the speculation would naturally jump to which players from that offense the Browns would draft.

    Loggains, 33, will interview for the offensive coordinator position but may also be in the mix for the quarterbacks coach. Considering that he was able to find success with both Jake Locker and Ryan Fitzpatrick this past year as the offensive coordinator, that could be an interesting choice. Locker has all the physical tools in the world while Fitzpatrick is a smaller, quarterback that has to win with accuracy and timing. Seemingly, Loggains would be able to roll with just about anyone the Browns would want to be their quarterback next May in addition to Brian Hoyer.

  • They've already hired Schwartz as DC, right? They're not keeping him. They'd have to make him assistant head coach and give him a pay raise equivalent to a coordinator.

    No, they wouldn't. The rules have changed.....maybe last year was the first year....only people being asked to interview for a HC position are a automatic. Asst coaches being considered for a coordinator position can be denied the interview by the club. The Bills can say they aren't letting him out of his contract.

    Poor form no doubt, but they can do it.

  • Whoever they get as OC is really important since they'll actually be calling the plays. Don't think I want Cam Cameron.

    Ahh ... so the Bills can be dicks about it and have one unhappy coach on their hands.

    Didn't know it changed, thanks for the info.

    Would we really want him? I mean he got relieved of his duties and the Ravens then went on to win the Super Bowl. I don't know if that screams "OC you want to hire". But there may be more to that story than I know.

  • I didn't think they could force a dude to stay there.

    I copied a part of the NFL rules.

    LATERAL OPPORTUNITIES
    • Assistant coach – to – Non Head Coach opportunities
    o Note: “promotions” to coordinator level are NOT promotions under this policy; a
    coach is either an Assistant Coach or a Head Coach, period.
    • Teams retain exclusive rights to an Assistant Coach who just completed the final
    season under contract until:
    Trust me. Teams don't have to allow any of their assistant coaches out of their contracts if they choose to retain them.
    As I said before, it probably shows poor form. As stated in the blurb I posted, you are a head coach, or an assistant coach.

    As Gary Kubiak talks with Ravens (& @McClain_on_NFL expects him to be hired), Kubiak was in talks w Browns last week. Why did it break down?

    It broke down because Banner wanted to call the plays 🙂


  • What another slap in the face it'll be if Kubiak decides to go to Baltimore, it makes me cringe thinking about it.

    If it means getting DA as starter, I'm on board.

  • Browns got permission to interview O'Neil. Rapoport said the interview's just a formality, and they plan to hire him as DC.

    Not much of a surprise since Pettine already knows him.

  • Just OC to go then ....... we need someone with experience to take this job .....
