So, who would you pick as the next HC ?
-
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.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

Cop out!

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.

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.

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.
-
It will be Kevin Stefanski....imo, this came down to the years & money that McDaniels may want to rebuild this team his way..And am not a college coach either? They knew Stefanski's number from last season's interview..in the end, McDaniel's folded up his tent ?️ & went home over dollars... I like Kevin, he's a smart guy that just took his whining receiving core to "I guess it ain't all about me"

I guess I'd go with McDaniels.

This is the most spot assessment of the entire situation. When put in these terms, haven't the Browns hired all of these guys in the past? They hired young coordinators, they have hired guys with titles but little real decision power and they have hired guys that built short term schemes to catch lightning in a bottle.
I would have to go with McDaniels.
My greatest concern is his fealty to New England. Not that he wouldn't be committed to winning, but that, if in the event of a vacancy, he would head back. Exhibit A: the way he strung out the Colts. I think he got home sick. Reich has two McDaniels hires on his staff and McDaniels never even set foot in the building.
I don't care about his time in Denver. People point out Belichick's time in Cleveland as less than stellar, though rarely do they mention the 1994 team that went 11-5. Belichick, like McDaniels, also had his head fake moment with the Jets.
I like the rest of you, want someone that wants to be part of the Cleveland Browns, not someone that wants to coach until Belichick retires and gets called back to Kraftland to get the band back together.

1. Gary Kubiak- Proven head coach whose offense should fit nicely with what we do well.
2. Jim Schwartz- Has head coaching experience. One of the best defensive minds in the game. Take no shit attitude that will get some of these divas in check
3. Greg Roman- Not ideal fit for our offense but could work. Will turn the Ravens into a mediocre team and may ruin Lamars career. Look back when people asked me if I would take Lamar #1.
4. Jay Gruden- Head coaching experience and if were being honest he got a raw deal. He never had much talent to work with. When he was an O.C. with talent he put together a really impressive offense.
5. Pete Carmichael Jr- Longtime Saints O.C. has been apart of the most explosive offenses. He knows how to coach undersized QBs. Have to wonder why he hasn't recieved a head coaching job.
I would stay far away from McDaniels. His personality will not mix well with these divas we have. That stunt he pulled with Indy is unforgivable.

HC Jim Schwartz

I would have really liked Kubiak to be considered.
