Shanahan was my preferred guy... but it sounds like he's not interested in any of the current jobs. I think his 2week vacation was partially to wait for some playoff teams to possibly go through the system.
I wonder if there's a possibility to get him as a GM though too ? Yeah I know, I'm dreaming. But I think he's the kind of guy that could turn the program around and knows college talent pretty well. In the midst of inVinceble Young and Lienart he got Cutler, who I also rated higher than the other two.
And he has a habit of picking out RBs from the 2nd day of drafts and undrafted... success with drafting OL. The guy knows his stuff.
Anyway, at least Mangini is smart enough to draft some Buckeyes. Browns should never draft based just off that... but seriously... wtf... how can you [censored] it up with such obvious outstanding choices nearby? Our secondary sucks ass and you could probably build 2 or 3 secondaries out of Buckeyes in the NFL...
Not much worse off with WRs, OTs, LBs, etc.
If ever there was proof that the SEC isn't god at football... just hot-weather football... just look at Savage and the Browns.
