well if you think this FO wouldn't give him plenty of bullshit to deal with..........we might as well scratch everyone off the list and promote from with.

yep, that's right. harry the ball boy is now the HC of the 2014 cleveland browns.

but i agree schiano built a program at rutgers, who weren't even on the map before he got there (even though it took him 5 years), and he turned around the U's D from 12th to 5th within 2 years. TB was a mess. just like i'm sure chud is waking up in the middle of the nite screaming 'WHY??'

I think there is little doubt the guy can develop talent. When he got to Rutgers there were only a handful of RU alums in the NFL - now there are 28, more than Arkansas, Virginia Tech, Stanford, Clemson...

As a proud Rutgers alum and longtime Browns fan, I think he's at least worth a look.

I'm not as down on Schiano as you guys - seems he got a bad deal in Tampa and had to deal with a lot of BS (Freeman, MRSA etc.). He was building a good young team - look at their last two drafts. If he's good enough for Belichick, he's good enough for me. We know all too well how Big Bill rebounded after getting fired...
