So, who would you pick as the next HC ?

[The Gipper]

I think Saleh and Greg Roman could/should be give some consideration.

Fuck Ray Horton.. He's already had two tours of duty here.. His D is too fucking passive for me..

I believe that was a joke

So far (at 3:35 p.m. on 12/22/2019), the top choices are:

1. Ron Rivera (10 votes)

2. Freddie Kitchens (8 votes)

3. "Other" (3 votes)

4. Tie between Mike McCarthy, Josh McDaniels, and Kevin Stefanski (2 votes)

5. Tie between Dan Campbell, Marvin Lewis, Greg Roman, and Lincoln Riley  (1 vote)

Or to put it another way:

Votes to dump Freddie: 23

Votes to keep Freddie: 8

Na obviously Freddie has created 8 different accounts. No Browns fan can be this dumb ?

[flyingfooldoug]

I like Urban

Per ESPN

Describe the game in two words: So emblematic. Clock mismanagement, questionable decision-making, missed opportunities and sideline shouting all defined Sunday’s game, as they have this entire Browns season.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE THE COACH WE WANT?

Truthfully.. and unfortunatly.....NO.    

[Orion]

The initial interviews are over (or so we believe).

Who would you pick?  -  You're not married to your choice.  None of us interviewed anybody so we don't 'really know' the candidates.  Your choice could get hired and suck....and you'd be allowed to say he sucks.    

The hire could happen very soon, it could be after the weekend, or it could be after the last candidate exits the playoffs.

McDaniels, Stefanski, Saleh, Bieniemy, Roman, Schwartz, Daboll

----------------

I'm picking Roman.  I like how he adapted his side of the ball to match the talent that he currently has.  I wouldn't mind having a guy overseeing the whole team with that kind of mind's eye.

[Dutch Oven]

I guess I'd go with McDaniels. 

He's got tons of experience and has been a head coach. I think he could put together a good coaching staff. 

I'm not head over heels about him, but everyone else has bigger questions surrounding them. Stefanski and Saleh are relatively green at being coordinators, Bieniemy is an OC who doesn't call players, Roman seems to really succeed with running QBs, Schwartz does have HC experience, but his Lions teams were undisciplined, young teams that often shot themselves in the foot. (Sound familiar?). Daboll feels like the human version of a consolation prize.

I agree with your assessment of the candidates. 

[hoorta]

I'm betting on either Stefanski or  McDaniels. 

They'd love Saleh enough to wait until after the Super Bowl. Don't see it happening.

And I fully understand a McDaniels pick.  He's seen how a dynasty is done!

[The Gipper]

Sort of been asked in about a dozen threads here.  But I will give a pecking order of those who interviewed. 

1. McDaniels

2. Stefanski

3. Bienemy

4. Saleh

5. Roman

6. Schwartz

7. Daboll

8. McCarthy...off the board.

[mjp28]

I'm going to wait until I see the white smoke come out of the chimney when they actually pick a new coach and go from there.

I don't think that they are going to consult with us before making a decision.

Cop out!

We have another use for your time:   Pope watch.

I liked Saleh, but since only McD and Stef appear to be in the running... I think I go Stef.

He's the less seasoned of the two, but...

In the end I just can't get passed McD's face plant in Denver.

And hopefully learned from his mistakes the first time around

[Tour2ma]

Another thing that bothers me about McD...

I can't recall seeing him interact with anyone on the Pat's sideline other than Tom or Bill.

[Kennel Club]

I know the popular choice is McDaniels, and I would be over the moon if we get him but out of the whole list Schwartz is my preference.

That plus the above mentioned Denver stint added to the decommit from his last HC job offer.

I made it clear I would take only the Stef/Kubiak duo if we can get them both together. It's ideal.

EDIT: One of my key questions in the interview with Stef is who he planned to bring to his coaching staff and had he gotten any indications that any would want the job he had in mind for them. I would have been asking the same question to all serious contenders for the Browns HC.
