<![CDATA[Browns To Interview]]>http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8820776/marc-trestman-cleveland-browns-talk-reports

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns will meet with Marc Trestman, coach of the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, on Monday, according to multiple reports.

The Browns reportedly have scheduled their meeting with Trestman in Chicago, where the Chicago Bears also have an interview scheduled with the coach on Monday, sources told ESPN.

Trestman's resume includes extensive time as an NFL offensive assistant. He has been with Montreal since 2008, leading the Alouettes to two CFL titles in his five seasons.

With Trestman recently signing an extension with the Alouettes that takes his deal through 2016, it's unknown whether he'll be allowed out of his CFL contract if an NFL team decides to hire him.

A source with the Alouettes indicated to ESPNChicago.com that it's likely Trestman would be allowed out of his contract because the team's ownership is "usually pretty good about stuff like that ... although Marc just signed a new extension this year. So I don't know if that might hold things up."

The source added Trestman "works well with a front office" and is "a player's coach for sure."

The Browns met late last week with Chip Kelly but decided to reboot their search for a coach after leaving Arizona late Sunday morning without landing the Oregon coach, sources told ESPN.

Kelly has decided to turn down a chance to go to the NFL and instead will return to the Ducks, league sources told ESPN.

Kelly was intrigued with the Philadelphia Eagles' head coaching job but decided he wasn't comfortable leaving the college game, the sources said.

Trestman possesses considerable experience in the NFL, where he's worked on staffs tutoring quarterbacks such as Steve Young (worked for 49ers from 1995-96), Rich Gannon (Raiders from 2001-03), who was named the league's MVP in 2001, and Bernie Kosar (1989). Trestman also worked in 2007 with the New Orleans Saints as a consultant.

Other NFL stops for Trestman include Minnesota (two stints), Tampa Bay (1987, then again in 2001 as a senior offensive assistant for Jon Gruden), Detroit (1997), Arizona (1998-2000) and Miami (2004) as well as the University of Miami (1981-84), where he received his law degree.

Trestman spent 2005 and 2006 at North Carolina State, before leaving in 2008 for the CFL.

In addition to his duties as a coach, Trestman worked during the offseason to prepare college quarterbacks for the NFL draft. Trestman worked with Jay Cutler and Bears backup Jason Campbell before their respective drafts.

According to his official website, Trestman has also worked with Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden, Denver rookie Brock Osweiler, as well as Tim Tebow of the New York Jets and Carolina's Jimmy Clausen.

yay another no name and now were stooping down to the cfl ranks come on

Panthers OC Rob Chudzinski will be the next head coach of the Cleveland Browns, per league source. Browns have not confirmed yet.

I'm down with that.

Keith Britton ‏@KeithBritton86

With Whisenhunt 2nd interview complete, I've been told Zimmer will NOT be getting 2nd interview tomorrow. Chudzinski the favorite at this pt

Word is Zimmer is interviewing again tomorrow.

Saw the Browns want to decide by Sunday between Zimmer and Whisenhunt. If I had to pick, I'd go with Whisenhunt. HC experience, took Arizona to a Super Bowl, and is an Offensive coach. I've been pretty negatively outspoken about this search. But honestly I think we need to realize whoever is hired will be in Cleveland for a LONG time. Hopefully they get better support than the rest of the coaches we've had.

Saban is a douchebag who can't win without an extreme talent advantage he will never have in the NFL. Remember when he was the coach of Michigan State?

^this + 1000. he ain't getting a slew of #1 college prospects into cleveland in one draft.

no. he needs red crapet treatment coming outta bumfuck ala airport with 3 blondes ready to unzip every big black nikka from wyoming to tucumcarie. in the nfl he'll be a dud. he already showed it once in miami, and ran away with a tweet to his players and his tail between his legs.

fuck saban that phony fuck.

Got to like what he's done in Cincy with their 4-3.

Zim is known as a salty SOB who gets the most out of his players.

More than likely. Who the hell wants to coach this team? You're most likely going to be fired after two years. Yeah yeah new owner whatever. The Browns HC job is the least appealing due to the shit we've been through for over a decade.

Probably a college coach that doesn't want the public to know.

Or maybe Jerry Sandusky ... he's kinda shy on the media.

Rob C. Hometown guy that went to St. Johns H.S. right here in Toledo. Some interesting choices will be made here soon. Hopefully. Wouldn't mind seeing Zimmer or Trestman as a coach, with Chud as a OC. And wouldn't complain about any of them being our next HC. Seeing Chud as a HC coach would be pretty cool.

Browns to interview Ghoolie for vacant HC position. Qualifications, knows more about football than any current HC or GM in the NFL. Outside the box contrarian thinker. Excellent at playing the Browns fight song on his accordion to get the team fired up before the game.

Disapointed he didn't get the Emcee gig to replace Gene Carroll on "Polka Varieties".

But seriously folks, we can't bring Zimmer here just as a DC- that's considered a lateral move. Has to be a promotion to say at least assistant HC.

if anything good gets through the gifted QB's head, it'll probably be from what he learned from

Chudzinsky, if not, an old fashioned beat down from Ron Rivera would do the trick.

Also, while looking for stuff we said about Chud when he was here the last time, I stumbled across this gem of a thread.

http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2499&st=0&p=35044&hl=chudzinski&fromsearch=1entry35044

It's just weird seeing us talk about Delhomme as a Panther and the theory that Carolina might be taking a young QB.
