Yea, but he was given credit for turning  those programs around from like 1 win teams to league championship contenders in a year or two.

I like him, he's all in.

His intro presser was good... but paled compared to Joe Judge's.

You obviously have too much time on your hands Tour.

Is he still here? If he flew home Massachusetts I would think that's an ill omen indeed.

Side note isn't Gary Kubiak already assistant head coach? If so that would mean coming here as offensive coordinator would not even be a lateral move and therefore wouldn't happen.

Just because you get offered an interview, doesn't mean you have to interview. 

Rhule  supposedly told the Browns don't bother.... 

IIRC, Adam Gase did the same thing.

I bet Adam Gase wished the Browns still had him on their radar now.

Assistant HC/ with combined OC title.... would trump Asst.HC/Offensive adviser...slimmer chance of Kub leaving Soda, if Stefanski goes & Zimmer stays..but if Zimmer breaks threw thin ice with Prez of Minn. football? all bets are off unless Gary decides after 2 offseason's to become Vikes HC

All coaching moves are considered lateral except if going to head coach.

The Haslams couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.

Apparently  Belichick somewhat interfered with McDaniels attempt to move up his interview with the Browns....and also the Giants and Panthers.  Those two teams move elsewhere since they could not talk to McD.    Ironically,   BB DID allow and encourage Joe Judge to talk to the Giants, who hired him.

A good question is:  Why?   Does he view McD so valuable to his team that he would want to impede him from going elsewhere because he does not really want to lose him from his staff?  particularly since the Brady issue of staying in NE is up in the air?

Or, is this just BB being a petty scrooge,  wanting to bollix things up for McD?   Maybe McD is the one guy he views as being disloyal if he takes another HC job...though,you would not think so.

Sure, depending on the definition of "turn around." 

His best season was 3 losses (1 time at Temple, this year at Baylor). And he never won a bowl game.

This year, I don't see an impressive win. There are a couple games that look on the surface at Temple are major wins, such as a win over Penn State (who finished (7-6), but in his 7 years as a head coach he had 2 wins over ranked teams (according to Wikipedia, don't know if the ranking is ending rank or at time of game.

I can give him some credit for Temple, but Baylor was really only down because of their scandal. 

As a coach, I am just not all that impressed. The way he is talked about is like Urban for turning a program into a perennial power. He hasn't stayed somewhere long enough to prove he has turned it around.

As for "sounding good" in press conference, I remember hearing the same things about Hue and Freddie. Another guy who is supposedly great at the mic is Lane Kiffin. 

I wish the man the best, I don't root for anyone to fail, but I think at this moment he has been vastly overrated. Even if I understand the thinking behind it, l lost some respect for him to decline an interview (and no not because it's the Browns).

OK,  Fair enough.  I am not tooting his horn.   But, apparently a couple of NFL teams were drooling over him,  as we see the Panthers locked him up before the Giants could even get a chance to speak to him, but by all reports, as I said, they were salivating over him.  I think it is fair to ask why he was such a hot item....over even  a lot of the guys the Browns have interviewed.  A lot of the college media were singing his praises, saying that he brought Baylor back from the brink of oblivion after the issues there with a previous coach.  Maybe that is what did it for the NFL team.

lol... just happened to catch both pressers on NFL Live, h, while I was reading and posting here... a/k/a "multitasking"...

Rhule presser caught my ear, but the Judge one made me stop and give it my full attention.

ummmm... don't think so, bp... Position coaches have to be allowed to interview for Coordinator positions
