Here's the opportunity....Tressman O.C....Kosar qb coach. Instant fan approval.

you beat me to it....Kosar as QB coach would be great

Yes, he did. Frittered it away with his insistence that he needed a "night" life more than a "day" job.

Lol, well put.

@westside-steve said:

Well that might be the case. Still it's speculation and we have no idea what would have happened against Cincinnati if any other quarterback started that game. I'm assuming it would have ended the same.

I'd think it's safe to say it would not have been a shutout if Hoyer had been in there. A field goal or two would've happened at the least. Speculation for ya but I do believe that.

Gruden wants to be the next John Madden.....a Super Bowl winning coach that goes on to a "Hall of Fame" announcing career. He is not in the market.....expecially not for an OC job. If he wanted anything he would take an HC job.

But how about this name: Brian Billick. SB winning coach......but he too seems to want to stay in broadcasting....and certainly would not want to be an OC.

I would guess everyone has their price but I don't see him coming back to be an OC. I've heard him say a bunch of times that he likes broadcasting a lot more than coaching since he never loses on Sunday and he's at home with his family a lot more.

I did a search for Marc Trestman and everything seems to be Jacksonville.

Do you mean Billick or Gruden, or Cowher or Dungy or Jimmy Johnson, or Parcells or Ditka or Tom Flores or Barry Switzer....or all of them?

Former SB winning coaches that might want to get back in the saddle:

Mike Shanahan clearly

Mike Holmgren.....wasn't he sniffing around a job opening somewhere?

Mark O

I was referring specifically to Billick. But it applies to all of them.

Oh well... next man up.

Agree with the search focusing on OC's with ZBS background. I liked the way it came together for us.

I do find it interesting that none of this stuff around Shanny and texts and such surfaced during the season. Seems like a positive.

Not so positive is Shanny sitting down with Haslam. I would have thought Pet had complete control over his staff.

Maybe we should bring in Mike Holmgren to be our OC.....and have him work only for the money we already paid him that he did not earn the first time around. Seems fair no?

Why am I an asshat? Take a step back and notice this is a recurring theme here.... but yet, people like yourself accept it as normal? What good do you think will come of the revolving door that we have? Am I wrong for being totally sick and disgusted of this team? If I speak my mind and voice my concern, I am told to jump to another team. Seriously? This team drafts the crappiest players every year, from the most opportune position. You honestly can say you have faith in what this team does? It's a disgrace man... YEAR after YEAR this team fails to make any kind of positive advancement. This team will only improve by drafting football players. Unfortunately, they take stabs in the dark instead of proven talent, and the gamble kicks them in the ass every single time. I'm glad you are satisfied and have your rose colored glasses on. The grass isn't greener in cleveland, it's been dormant for the last 7 years.

You're an asshat because all you do is bitch and complain. Yes you're wrong for being sick and disgusted..its a fucking football team that you have no control over how it does or what happens. Get some perspective for christs sake.

And...the team did improve asshat...from 4-12 to 7-9 is improving no matter how you add it up.

I would be o.k. with Trestman or Weis. They could help whoever ends up in here at the QB spot. Weis made Matt Cassel a pro bowl QB.

I dont see Billick signing on to coach JFF.....Thats for sure.

He's been pretty outspoken about how not good he thinks Johnny will be....

LogicIsForSquares

Having Johnny as the QB may be a detriment to finding someone to take the OC job.

i like it. no probs here.

loggains was a waste and shanny over thunk his game planning, and quite frankly, it stunk.

I don't know what embarrass me more? the fact that we are going through a nother offensive system when it was working or that a dumb f*** Browns fan actually likes this turn of events wth Shanahan.

obviously Loggins was the main trigger for drafting Johnny Manziel so he got what he deserved. Biut Shanny this sucks

I just did a Google search on my android. Two words. Marc Trestman. At least five or six hits about him and Jacksonville and some quarterback down there seeing on the beach or some shit. Try it.

Trestman was my pick the second I heard he was fired from the bears.....hope he comes here.

Rumors are gonna swirl like crazy though......no less than 5 people will be said to be the next OC....FOR SURE....bank it!

Westside Steve

I just read that if Kyle Shanahan gets the job as head coach in Buffalo he will make a deal to trade a draft pick to take Johnny Manziel with him.

Okay I didn't actually read it I heard it somewhere.

Okay I didn't actually really hear it anywhere, I just made it up.

Where do I get an application for beat reporter?

I don't think it's the end of the world either way, but with the QB situation still up in the air that makes it even less concerning.

TCPO what makes you certain this is a key sign Haslam's so involved?

Mostly this.

Cleveland.com reported one source as saying some coaches became angered when play calls were recently requested or suggested via text from the press box by a high-ranking non-coaching staff member. The disconnect also stems from a belief that the front office placed clear, although indirect, pressure to have Manziel play, a source close to the situation has told ESPN.com. That pressure never came in the form of an order but was tangible and increased as the season went on.

Although not every offensive coach was solidly in Brian Hoyer's corner, the offensive staff is unhappy and disillusioned over the pressure about Manziel from non-football people and the way the season ended, the source told ESPN.com.
