    Yeah, saw it Mark. Like I said earlier, Knight probably waved another $5 million at Chip and said "come on back to Eugene". Some on the PD site take it as being damage control, but if I'm Haslam, I'm not happy cooling my heels in Arizona waiting for a guy to show up, and I get a "sorry, I can't make up my mind" call.

  • I think Haslam made the right choice here. I'm sure we offered him plenty to be the coach and if he doesn't want to take it, screw him. As much as I liked him, it was no guarentee that he was going to be a success. Move on to someone else. I still like Kyle Shanahan and even though I'd like an offensive coach, I like the idea of Zimmer from Cincy.

  • At this point, I'd like to see them interview Kyle Shanahan, Mike Zimmer, & Mike McCoy (after the Super Bowl if we still have the opening). Time will tell, but it's fun watching the Browns hierarchy interview more than ONE HC candidate. Haslam & Banner are finally bringing some credibility & professionalism back to the Browns.

    How do you know? Kelly did the same exact thing to Tampa last year. If the guy's heart is in Oregon, money might not be what pulls him away from that place. This Kelly situation reminds me of Lebron leaving. We offered him everything, but he was going to play with his buddies in Miami. I don't know if the Browns offered everything, but it seems like a smart business move to rescind the offer if Mary Kay Cabot is right, and the guy didn't feel like he was 100% into it.

  • Are you trying to make a point?

  • It certainly seems like he's not 100% into it. There are only 32 NFL head coaching jobs and this guy has been offered 3 of them in the last 2 years and hasn't taken any of them. I would've walked from him too.

    Hey homo...we are trying to keep all of the coaching rumors and discussion in one place. Can you please try to follow along?

    Don't worry....I'll move it for you.

  • One of these horrible rumours are going to come true and bite the OP right on the ass.

  • Wow these candidates names keep getting worse and worse. Sorry but a coach from the CFL??

    At this point just bring back freaking Shurmur, this "aggressive" search has turned into just taking whatever is left. It's sad that the University of Akron, one of the worst football programs in the country was able to organize a better coaching "search" than a supposed NFL franchise.

    I just wanted to go all dicknuts on you to see how quickly the mods were on this shit ... I'm impressed.

    BTW ... he was Bernie's OC in 89 ... imagine the speculation of Bernie coming back.

    He's now the head coach of Montreal.

    Apparently there is still a football league in Canada.

    Not sure if he is the "strong leader" type they had in mind originally.

    Lombardi and Trestman ... Maybe Eric Zeier for OC.

  • I've been on this shit all day. Trestman interviewed for the Bears job today. I still like Zimmer, McCoy, Shannahan. Let's hope we're contacting the Redskins first thing in the morning to talk to young Kyle.

    dude there plenty of great coaches still out there. smith zimmer haslett wisenhunt to name a few defensive guys who if you promoted jauron could take that position or become the HC. i like kyle shanahan but believe he is too young and inexperienced. i doubt if he or mcdaniels would settle on being an OC since they're better off where they are already.

    Why would either of them leave playoff teams where they are the OC to come to our 5 win team for the same job? The only way either of them leave their respective teams is if they are getting a head coaching job. Neither will leave for a lateral move.

  • yeah. thinking out loud is all.

    mcdaniels and shanahan jr. might be able to call a good game but it doesn't mean they can lead a team. i'm gonna sound like an old fart here, but there is something to be said about experience. i mean would you respect some young punk walking into your office as your new boss? yeah you can win them over if you're winning games but if not, they're the easiest to blame and easiest to quit on.

    Then bring in someone who can win. Someone like the Harbaughs or Tomlin. Not a pantywaist like Shurmur.
