Browns Hiring Kyle Shanahan

MasterDog

"ESPN's Chris Mortensen stated on NFL Insiders that new Browns OC Kyle Shanahan "loves" Kirk Cousins."

No surprise. I heard he wanted Cousin to start the season over RG3. He's coach some decent talent and been in the league long enough to see a QB that can be good in this league.

So Cousins and Hoyer it is! If it doesn't work out, there's a nice 2015 class waiting.

Great we are going back to the west coast offense.

Curious as to why you would say that? He was the OC with RGIII and they hardly ran a west coast offense with him as the QB.

It's definitely an evolved WCO. Not like shurmurs.

I'll take it over norv turners run the ball 5 times per half.

Edit: I wasn't a big fan of Washington's offense regardless though. Hopefully he can work something out here tho.

Just going off his background info. I don't think Kyle knew WTf he was running in wash. He was trying to capitalize on the read option fad at the time. And it blew up. Apparently that's what they ran in Houston when He was the OC there. Maybe the redskin fans can add something to this hire.

It blew up into a home playoff game. I'll take a blow up like that. Again, I think he showed that he could adjust his gameplan quickly in the one game they played against us with Cousins at QB.

So Kyle is hired.

It's amazing how the interview from hell reported last week is now being reported as "very impressive".

I am also amazed that I really have no opinion on this hire... very unusual for me...

Good hire for Cleveland. If you demote Pettine to DC where he belongs and hire a qualified head coach you might have something. You'll certainly win more than 4 games!

Fuck you, very much...

I can get behind this, if Cousins' price is not too dear...
