By the way, on McDaniels, the Browns FO is not squeamish over the fact that he is a BB disciple nor a retread, apparently:

thats the guy hell he took the Lions to the playoffs twice also has a winning record as a head coach in the NFL

The Gipper

So....who are we talking to? From above, It seems:

Josh McDaniels

Robert Saleh

Greg Roman

Those sound good.

Who else?

Who NOT: Rivera....as he seems set to go with Redskins. Is there anyone else that it seems clear that the Browns FO is rejecting (not who you or I would reject).

I didn't see where it had been announced that permission to interview him had been requested. Did I miss that? If so, certainly....put him on the list.

Cleveland: Fired Freddie Kitchens on December 29. Requested permission to interview Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Requested permission to interview Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Requested permission to interview 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. Plan to interview former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, along with bringing Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski back again this year. from PFT also being reported that talks with Rivera and the skins have slowed

Saleh to interview.

He looks "mixed race" which I assume means that his interview would comply with the Rooney Rule....if nothing else.

Or, actually, based on his name and appearance, he could be "middle eastern". He is from Dearborn Mich. which has a large population of mid-eastern descent.

I mean, I don't really care....it is the NFL with its Rooney rule that requires the inquiry into race/racial background.

DieHardBrownsFan

Hopefully he gets passed over.

Rappoport just said we have made 7 or 8 requests to talk to other teams staff... so missing a couple...

Can you say cast a wide net?

Tour2ma

Seems like we did this wide net thing back when Jimmah was cutting his NFL teeth (which we are still waiting to come in...).

And IIRC we ended up with Chud...

Meanwhile things seem to be dragging in DC to the delight of at least one columnist...

"... if you take that 15-1 season off Rivera’s ledger, he went 61-62-1 in seven-plus seasons in Carolina, with only two other winning seasons — all with the benefit of working for a stable organization with a franchise quarterback."

Awesome...

Well we really don't know who they would reject my guess is somebody who's going to want complete autonomy which I don't think Dorsey will be willing to give up if Dorsey is still at the helm. That's why my guest leaves slightly toward McCarthy because they are friends.

(Just complete and utter speculation pipedream whatever, I wondered what would happen if we bring back Williams and ask Freddieif he would go back to offensive coordinator?)

But I don't think McDaniels or Roman are responsible for any of the success there teams have had, just right place right time. As for Saleh who knows? Maybe a little bit of sharia law would cut down on penalties and mistakes? ?
