*SOURCE* Brian Flores will be our next HC

[flyingfooldoug]

You cannot have a meticulous search by stopping half way. For that, I really doubt we have a name til SBS +3

Ah, let's put that into proper perspective,,,, he is conducting a search because, you are right, he doesn't know who he will hire....but to say "he doesn't have a clue" seems to mean he is an idiot. I believe he knows what qualities he wants in a HC. I believe he will select the right guy.

By that I mean he has not made a decision

True, and it’s good to have aces in the hole

[jiggins7919]

I think I'm cool with a few guys, but I would rather have a defensive oriented coach, or ideally a special teams guy. Freddie Kitchens stays, that's all I really care about. Oh, and no Josh McDaniels. That guy can go suck a butt.

Give me five reasons he’d choose the Dolphins over the Browns. Whoever goes to Miami will be gone in 2 years. That GM will be fired after next season, then that new coach will be a lame duck in his 2nd season

Five? Not sure I can, but let's see...

1. Candidate wants personnel input... not getting that in CLE.
2. Candidate does not want the pressure of the expectations in CLE.... MIA has a QB issue to solve and that buys time.
3. Candidate would be following an unpopular, failed HC... not the case in CLE.
4. It's MIAMI... great place to spend fall/winter...

I owe you 2...

good catch, I was lunging for the keypad about to say not so fast chuckles. That being said I've never heard this guys name before. He was prob just DC in name only and essentially just conveying what Belichick wanted. Don't the Pats run like a straight up 4-3 now?

Yup... 4-3, but one of those 4 is Trey Flowers who they will stand up at times.

However, Bill's on record as saying the 3-4/4-3 base debate is yesterday's issue as the base is on field <15% of the time in today's game. He essentially considers his base the nickel.

don't want any of Bill's underlings. 

AS I wrote elsewhere, that's definitely been the stance the track record supports, but I think that Vrabel has a great shot at changing that... and Patricia still has a shot as well.

I kinda think that the biggest reason that we haven’t signed up the guys we already have is the NFL itself. I’m under the impression that they do not wish to see GW succeed. Hence zero requests from other teams. 

So you think Gregg was lying about turning down multiple HC offers to be Hue's DC?

 I don’t know that one. Did he lie? Did he get a couple of offers? How did his son figure in as a package deal? And the answers to those questions... who cares?

Terry Pluto wrote that about the NFL. 

You must not have read that one

Isnt flowers one of the 43 type DE's on the market this year?

6 media hounds have confirmed.."we have interviewed pats Bryan Flores" for our HC job.. come sunrise Dorsey will meet the dc from colts Matt Eberflus after colts win today (can't confirm if Dorsey & Flores watched that one )..Dorsey may never miss a dinner date? Like clockwork between 5 & 6 pm the Browns website updates coaching search..

lmao....these are the same HC positions he 'didn't even have to show up for an interview' right?  Just 'pick up the phone'?

I'd say the chance of bounty hunter lying about that was about the same as Donald Trump lying....take that as you want.

So then Terry Pluto is a liar too? What’s the real story then? I’m curious to know. Do you have inside info? Or just guessing?

Gregg Williams did a great job as interim head coach, but the guy is so full of shit about having to use a baseball bat to keep all the head coaching offers away from him. 

[darren15]

So if this supposed source is true I expect the interview with the Colts coordinator for this afternoon will be cancelled and we will announce Flores today ? if not why are we messing around doing anymore interviews

Because you can't offer a coach a contract until his team is eliminated from the playoffs. 

And Dorsey has yet to interview Kitchens.

We're interviewing eberfluss today?

I could see him having some unofficial phone calls (or official) without a doubt. Why wouldn’t he considering what a turn around of events from one coach to another. I still want to see at least one season of him at HC and kitchens as OC

Then they must be keeping it a secret about Flores. Unless someone was wrong. Or are they gonna wait till Valentine’s Day to announce it?  I heard that we might go for the Vince Lombardi hologram too. I guess he works for 1966 dollars. I myself would prefer the Paul Brown hologram but hey
