Candidates
-
Clearly, as a result of today's press conference the Browns want to go for a STRONG personality at the Head coach....and secondary at the GM position. Thus, here is some speculation on candidates for these positions: I believe the "strong" personality at HC points toward a fairly big name:
Chip Kelly - great. we could have an NFL version of the oregon ducks? no thanks.
John Gruden - ha! meth-head psycho coaching the browns.
Nick Saban - doubt it.
Bill O'Brien - really? when did he become a good coach? because he took over for joe pa and he did better than expected? a single season does not make a great coach.
Bruce Arians - GTFOOH.
clearly this is just 'your' speculation. hopefully there is no more than 2 of those guys on haslam and banner's 'list'.
some of these names amaze me. do people just pull them out of a hat?

Oh, yes, it is just my...and other's speculation. But I didn't pull them out of a hat. I got them from some of these so called NFL insider websites and the like.
So, sure, it is possible the Browns could pull a Steelers when they hired Mike Tomlin. A guy that they thought they were just interviewing in order to fill the Rooney rule requirement, yet they were so impressed with him they decided to hire him. Sure, that could happen.
Maybe that Ray Horton is that sort of guy.
But, you are right. No one really knows except maybe 2 guys with the initials JH and JB. and maybe not even them.

Per Twitter: @AdamSchefter: Though he'd like to be an HC again one day, Pats OC Josh McDaniels notified teams Monday he will remain in NE, not interview for HC jobs now.
You know, it is highly possible that Bill Belichick has told McDaniels "I am only going to be around a couple or three more years and when I go, I am putting you in line to succeed me".
This has been BB's 13th season with the Pats, and these days coaches just don't hang around that long. Andy Reid lasted 14 years with the Eagles. Cowher 15 with the Steelers. Fisher 17 with the Titans.
BB may want to give McDaniels a year with Tom Brady at QB...or he may want to go out when Brady goes out.
It is highly possible that BB may say to McDaniels "TB and I will go out together, and the time you have spent grooming Ryan Mallet will pay off for you because you and he will become the coach/QB combo that Brady and I have been.".

Would make sense for Bill since he was a POS coach before Brady and likely to be one again without him.

Guys i would love to see come to coach the browns that haslam/banner cant get..
Chip Kelly
Nick Saban
Bill O'Brien
John Gruden
Guys i would be ok with that are somewhat more of a reality and perhaps in barter range of haslam/banner..
Josh McDaniels
Kyle Shanahan
Bruce Arians
Jay Gruden
What we will end up with most likely isnt on this list..
Banner/haslam are either moving slow and already behind the curve or have a couple specific people in mind that they want to take a look at but cant yet..

Jimmy Donovan reported after the press conference that Saban is the top choice for Haslam and that TruckerJim is willing to offer Saban 10 million a year
Carpet Bagger...OK...Come to Cleveland win 3 championships in 6 yrs like he gonna do in Tuscaloosa then move on...I'll take that

1356979911[/url]' post='320127']Numero uno candidate is Cowher.........
then Saban........then..........Kelly..............then Mcdaniels.......which my source is saying is the frontrunner.........though the L.Smith situation may have just muddled that up.
The O'brien stuff is a hoot. Pure media mumbling.
I would break the bank for Cowher! But my next choice would be Kelly.
-
What makes you clowns think that Cowher wants to coach? The guy has his Super Bowl ring, he's got a nice cushy job for CBS where he doesn't have to work all that hard and is probably making some pretty good money. You really think he wants to come back to 16 hour work days and all the bull shit that comes with being an NFL coach? The guy had a great career as a head coach but I would be really afraid of a guy like that who is just in it for the money and not going to put in the work, he doesn't need to prove himself to anyone. Think Holmgren in Cleveland except you want Cowher to be the coach.

Lovie couldn't win with the likes of Cutler,Forte,Marshall,Urlacher,Pepper Johnson Hester some big time talent...I like the guy and think he'd get us to the playoff
just kinda think he's got the Shottenhiemer thing...just can't win the big one

As far as I'm concerned, "the big one" is win number 11.

Um, Saban has already flopped once in the Pros, plus he's on the high side of 60. Bring in a young guy- Kid Shanahan fits my thinking. If you're hiring a guy for the long haul, Saban ain't it.

Two high-ranking #NFL personnel execs say Oregon HC Chip Kelly is the clear #1 choice for the Browns.

1) Don't believe a damn thing ESPN tweets.
2) Kelley pluses workaholic, smart.
3) Doubts hyperspeed Oregon offense will work in pros. Is he adaptable enough to fit scheme to talent?
-
Honestly I'd be happy with any of the following
1 - Arians - Do I need to expand upon this?
2 - Gruden - I know he is high on Weeden. I think an offseason with Weeden would be beneficial to both as well as the team and the fanbase. If anyone can reach him, I think it's Gruden.
3 - Saban - I'm in the camp that thinks he has one thing left to prove, and that's victory in the NFL. I hope so.
4 - O'Brien/Kelly - These guys did a stellar job with their respective teams. I feel that their talents would translate to the NFL.
5 - Shanahan - I think he may well be the next Harbaugh.
