  • So....who are we talking to?  From above,  It seems:

    Josh McDaniels

    Robert Saleh

    Greg Roman

    Those sound good.

    Who else?

    Who NOT:     Rivera....as he seems set to go with  Redskins.  Is there anyone else that it seems clear that the Browns FO is rejecting (not who you or I would reject).

    I didn't see where it had been announced that permission to interview him had been requested.   Did I miss that?  If so, certainly....put him on the list.

    because as far as i know no team has granted us permission  per are request 

  • Cleveland: Fired Freddie Kitchens on December 29. Requested permission to interview Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Requested permission to interview Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Requested permission to interview 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. Plan to interview former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, along with bringing Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski back again this year.  from PFT  also being reported that talks with Rivera and the skins have slowed

  • https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/132705-shanahan-confirms-49ers-defensive-coordinator-robert-interview-browns/

    Saleh to interview.

    He looks  "mixed race"  which I assume means that his interview would comply with the Rooney Rule....if nothing else.

    Or, actually, based on his name and appearance, he could be "middle eastern".    He is from Dearborn Mich.   which has a large population of mid-eastern descent. 

    I mean, I don't really care....it is the NFL with its Rooney rule that requires the inquiry into race/racial background.   

  • Hopefully he gets passed over.

    Rappoport just said we have made 7 or 8 requests to talk to other teams staff... so missing a couple...

    Can you say cast a wide net?

  • Seems like we did this wide net thing back when Jimmah was cutting his NFL teeth (which we are still waiting to come in...).

    And IIRC we ended up with Chud...

    Meanwhile things seem to be dragging in DC to the delight of at least one columnist...

    "... if you take that 15-1 season off Rivera’s ledger, he went 61-62-1 in seven-plus seasons in Carolina, with only two other winning seasons — all with the benefit of working for a stable organization with a franchise quarterback."

    Awesome...

    Well we really don't know who they would reject my guess is somebody who's going to want complete autonomy which I don't think Dorsey will be willing to give up if Dorsey is still at the helm. That's why my guest leaves slightly toward McCarthy because they are friends.

    (Just complete and utter speculation pipedream whatever, I wondered what would happen if we bring back Williams and ask Freddieif he would go back to offensive coordinator?)

    But I don't think McDaniels or Roman are responsible for any of the success there teams have had, just right place right time. As for Saleh who knows? Maybe a little bit of sharia law would cut down on penalties and mistakes? ?

    Let's have a separate thread for every separate coaching rumor on the interweb?

     I probably give the Baltimore Print office a lot more credit just because that team is loaded and have almost 0 injuries which make Jackson seemed a lot better than he probably is.

    Not to mention that we don't have a Jackson on our roster... of course that's fixable if we draft Hurts... and/or sign Kaep ?

    Hey at least that would draw the attention of the media looking for controversy away from the other 52 men on the roster along with the front office and coaching staff. Kind of like keeping a big pile of horseshit in your backyard to keep the flies off the picnic table. ?

    Read his last name and noticed that he's from Dearborn. Probably Lebanese or some other Middle Eastern.

    Right....I assume he at least meets the Rooney rule.....and you never know, he could end up being a hell of a HC.    Hopefully he would if he were the guy we get.    (by the way, like 40% of Lebanese are Christian...so who knows or cares, except that the Rooney rule makes you delve into all that). 

  • I wouldn’t mind a defensive minded guy. I feel like the last couple guys we tried were offensive minded guys.

    I hope Saleh gets a good look. The little l’ve read about him he’s been in the league a while and worked his way up through the ranks, and his defensive units have improved each year with SF. 1st round Dline picks every year helped l’m sure.
