I'm OK with this, and from what I've read, so are most people here. Did a heck of a job with Derek Carr.

Yeah, Trestman, Cavanaugh, or DeFilippo I was okay with.

Bit of a dice roll, but why the hell not...
From the DawgsbyNature article:
"Cleveland needs to get in on the ground floor with a bright young mind to help steer the offense in the direction in which the NFL is headed. He's a passing guy, which may throw some off, but the league has been trending that direction for a while."
Pet can help him embrace the run.

An interesting year old article on our new OC:

Seems they have been interested in him for a awhile, so let's hope they nailed a future coaching star.
I'm sure Johnny is pulling up in his driveway now to start discussing a playbook.

It's not a sexy name but neither was Pettine so hopefully this works out. He seems to want a pro-style of game which is exactly what I was hoping for if anything else.

Manziel rolls into OTA's red-eyed, smelling like booze and asks, "Where's Shanny?"

MOBILE, Ala. - The Cleveland Browns have decided on Oakland Raiders quarterbacks coach and Youngstown native John DeFilippo to be their new offensive coordinator, Northeast Ohio Media Group has confirmed.
DeFilippo, a rising young offensive star in the NFL at the age of 36, worked with Mike Pettine in 2009 when both were with the New York Jets. DeFilippo, as quarterbacks coach that year, helped then rookie Mark Sanchez lead the Jets to the AFC Championship Game. Pettine was defensive coordinator at the time.
DeFilippo interviewed for the Browns coordinator position last year before they settled on Kyle Shanahan. Pettine said then that DeFilippo "had an outstanding interview'' with the Browns. He interviewed with the Browns again last week.
DeFilippo remained with the Raiders and earned praise for his work with rookie quarterback Derek Carr. DeFilippo's ran through the 2014 season and the Raiders were interested in keeping him, a source said. He was the Raiders' quarterbacks coach for five seasons: 2007-08, and then 2012-14.
This will mark his debut as an NFL coordinator.
News of DeFilippo's hiring was first reported by Fox Sports' Alex Marvez.
More information on DeFilippo's coaching resume from the Raiders web site:
Prior to rejoining the Raiders in 2012, DeFilippo coached at San Jose State from 2010-11, serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2011, and quarterbacks coach in 2010. He was assistant quarterbacks coach for the New York Jets in 2009.
During his tenure at San Jose State, the Spartans ranked 23rd in the nation with 276.8 passing yards per game and jumped 32 places nationally in total offense from the previous year. The team also set a single season school record with 297 pass completions. DeFilippo tutored QB Matt Faulkner, who ranked second in the Western Athletic Conference in passing by completing 274 of 422 attempts for 3,149 yards and 13 touchdowns. In 2010, he coached QB Jordan La Secla, who was with the Raiders in training camp in 2011.
DeFilippo's NFL coaching career began with the New York Giants in 2005, when he served as offensive quality control coach on Tom Coughlin's staff for two years. He helped the Giants to two postseason appearances, and New York posted a 19-13 regular-season record during his time there.
He joined the Giants after two seasons as quarterbacks coach at Columbia.
From 2001-02, DeFilippo was a graduate assistant at Notre Dame, working with wide receivers and tight ends under Bob Davie in 2001, and with quarterbacks under Tyrone Willingham in 2002.
He began his coaching career tutoring quarterbacks at Fordham in 2000.

Was thinking the same thing Mudfly. Might actually make sense with JF. I do like hiring the younger guys for coordinators instead of the failed head coaches.

BTW, I am not spelling out Defilippo for the next couple years. What do we go with:
John D
JD
D-flip
Defi
Coach D
Then when we hate him after one game:
