Who coaches the Cleveland Crush?

Why not let the "fan of the week" coach the team? Instead of pizzas for section 524 Row 15, let one of the fans call the plays? Wouldn't be any worse than Shur-loss.

you'll probably lose that promotion next year but gain the free slurrpy with a fill-up at one of jimmy haslam's truck stops.

yum.

or 50% off the lot lizards roaming the parking lot.

Agreed. You're my top choice.

I hope Jauron stays on as our DC. I think are defense is a pass rusher and CB away from being elite.

Whisenhut is a offensive coach but his inability to develop any of the three different QBs that started for him is cause for concern. Arizona does have a horrible OL which can destroy even the best of QBs (not saying that Arizona's QBs are good).

I do believe that Kyle Shannahan deserves a look. Look at his ability to instantly change his offensive gameplan when he has to replace RG3 with Kirk Cousins. Alfred Morris is of similiar build to T-Rich. Garcon is big like Little and Moss is the speedster like Gordon.

The problem I have with Defensive coaches is theyre usually conservative as hell on offense. I want a guy who isn't afraid to go for it on 4th downs, rather then punting or kicking a FG. If we are up by 14, don't try to run the clock, go for the kill shot.

you're right BUT it doesn't have to be that way. i see a HC as more a manager of coaches. let the OC do his thing. let the DC do his thing etc. sure he has the right to override and make final decisions but hopefully the person we bring in is flexible in his style.

but yes aggressive all the way.

I lean to the D-guru side here for a couple reasons ...

- Fits with the image of the Browns and the city.

- In addition to devising D game plans tailored to stop the variety of NFL offenses, real D-side geniuses can dissect the D they are facing that week.

The Browns image has always been offense until Marty, Marty balled us into oblivion.

Mike

I will add that our new coach needs to put an emphasis on winning our divisional match ups. We've been beat down so many years, it's time to turn it around.

i'm a believer in defense winning championships so i lean towards a D guy.

either way haslam has said who ever he taps will be around for a long time so this decision is HUGE!!

I don't have a preference over offense or defensive minded.

Lovie Smith,Mike Zimmer,Rick Dennison are guys they should take a look at.

Kelly? glad hes out! stay put in Oregon for all I care....

Keep Jauron for continuity on defense, if possible....

O coodinator? dont know...

Either that or a defensive minded coach, aka Lovie Smith, who can put together a fantastic defensive unit and run them to perfection. The hiring of a good offensive mind would be necessary though.

The talent the Browns have now, you could win right away, have a great draft, and be a playoff caliber team next year after the first.

Yes, INNOVATOR. That takes a bit of guts, to create something.

Shurmur just had a system that didn't fit his players, then turned around and threw his players under the bus,

saying they have to play better.

Seriously? You can't get the plays in on time? You keep calling the predictable run on first down most of the time?

You keep calling a short pass route that is a few yards short of a first down?

I want an aggressive coach, who doesn't play the conservative, hope not to lose football.

That, imho, is the quickest way to UNinspire your players. A bit of a river boat gambler like Sam Rutigliano, an expert COACH

like Sam, Blanton Collier and Paul Brown, and a coach who has rules for EVERY player, the entire team like a Vince Lombardi,

and a coach who knows why offenses have offensive lines, unpredictable and aggressive play calling...

is that too much to ask, just once?

eh... could be. I hear Kelly isn't coming to the Browns. Well, if he has kids....the Cleveland schools have a nationally bad rep, you know.

Edit: Furthermore, I also want a coach who has an identity out there. Ideally it would be a more offensive guy but just something where the guys buy into the philosophy of team.

I am sick of the below average dunces that this club has brought in and called coaches over the years but that is what we are now destined to get again..

That's why, with my limited knowledge, I'd lean toward Bruce Arians Dick Jauron.

But I think we put so much emphasis on 1 man.

If Jimmy is going to replace the front office every 2 years I don't see much success in the future.

A little consistency is the key, not drafting and cutting first round picks every 2 years.

I'd like to have an emotional players coach, someone these young guys can get behind and will get behind them.

We have a lot of young guys who need to bond together as a core and a coach who works that way.
