    How long did the old mighty Brown coached? 🙂 I don't know I think he has a good 6 to 7 years left in him of coaching.

      Leave a regular CFB playoff contender to try and work with the Browns? Doubtful.

        Starting to hear on local radio down in Nashville that Haslam is in love with Nick Saban. They had dinner together Sunday night. The talk is he would give Saban full control of the Browns. Just think Saban coming back to Cleveland. He was defensive coordinator for before the old browns moved. Then he went to Michigan State as a Head Coach. I think this would be awesome.

        How did it work out for the Miami Dolphins? Do they think it was "awesome"? I think this would be a fucking disaster.

          Saban is 64 years old. That would make him the second oldest coach behind Coughlin. Can't see him trying to make the transition back to the NFL at that age.

          he's 64. he doesn't look it at all. If he came to the browns he'd look 70 in 2yrs...

              The point is that he doesn't stick around when it gets tough. He will bail out quickly. If we are hiring a retread NFL coach. I could be talked into Gruden or I could be talked into Sean Payton. Although in both cases, I'd rather find the next Gruden or the next Payton but if we're going with a "name"....I could get excited about these two.

                    The only merit it has is Saban's NFL history. How long did he last in Miami and how well did he do? Not long and not very well. I don't think anyone in the NFL brings him in because he can't be trusted to stick around if it's a struggle. He'll jump right back to college.

                          All as head coaches?? You really think those three giant egos are going to answer to anyone other than the owner?? Any one of those guys takes an NFL job they are going to want to be the HC, GM, team president and what ever other title they can think up. They will answer to no one other than the owner and probably not really even answer to him either.

                            Saban gave Urban Cryer a heart condition and cunt punted him out of the SEC.. I'm guessing he could probably do the state of Ohio the same favor 😉

                            He seemed to do pretty well against him last time.

                            It seems like all he needed was some Ohio talent, rather than southern puss.

                              This would be a great hire. Pete Carroll flamed out in the NFL, went back to college, came back with a tweaked plan, and won a Super Bowl.

                                To an extent I would agree. Saban has shown in the last few years flexibility and adaptation to his offensive schemes.

                                Though I haven't versed myself on his defensive philosophy, my understanding is a lot of pattern matching coverage with his fire zone (5man early down pressure, 3 deep, 3 underneath) being a calling card.

                                  Kirk Ferentz at Iowa is still my guy. He is 60 from Royal Oak MI. If we want to run the ball watch Iowa's OL after losing Scherff. Ferentz was a Asst. Coach at Cleveland & Baltimore was than wanted in Shitsburg. Here's the issue:: He is the highest paid state employee in Iowa & under contract till 2020 at a mere 3.775/yr. plus bonuses. Does he want to challenge himself at football at the highest level with ageing? If I were Haslem's dollars at end of Iowa's season, I hear Iowa serves 1 hell of a steak dinner to talk to Ferentz..

                                    That's correct, tia. This offense the last two years has been an absolute beauty, and he's done it with two different pretty mediocre quarterbacks. Defensively, he obviously has a bunch of elite players, but he's had very few, if any, elite pass rushers, and he runs a 3-4. Fits exactly what we have now. He's also a DBs coach, as Pettine hilariously pretends to be. You want to fix the run D? Hire the guy that held Fournette under 35 yards on 20 carries.

                                          We get this speculation literally every time we are looking for a coach. Cowher, Saban, Dungy, Gruden, etc. - seen at a local coffee shop, meeting the owner, meeting the GM, seen with X and Y.

                                          ....Then we hire Crennel,Shurmur,Chudzinski,Pettine, (maybe next year there'll be another name)
