Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban (official thread)
Per college football news Nick Saban of LSU might be headed to Cleveland. No links yet, but on there front page in breaking news it talks about it. I dont know if I like this choice, due to the lack of success college coaches have had at the professional level. I guess we will have to wait and see...

Had great success as a DC in Cleveland. I like the fact that we are going back to our team history to find a guy. I like someone who connects with the tradition of Browns football and understands the way our fans want our team to play. Screw Miami North...I want a dominating D, punishing runners and a leader at quarterback.
I was under the impression we were looking for a GM first. Jim Brown is talking to Ozzie now. PLEASE bring some of the old guys back! I want the new Browns to start feeling like the old ones.

Four years as an NFL DC would be more qualifications than most college-to-pro coaches have. I could live with this one.

Good point about him being a DC for four years with the Browns. But, LSU is coming off a sub par season. I know they lost alot but at times LSU didnt look very good this year. I know you cant totally blame that on the coach, but some has to be put on his shoulders. If Saban does get hired, alot of changes are going to be needed to be made very quickly. Cleveland fans are getting tired of this bull[censored].

Did I miss this the Browns getting their General manager position all straightened out?
I thought that was their first order of business, then the search for a coach.

Everything I have read says hiring a GM is the first choice. He will then help select the coach. I personally am not sold on another college coach for the Browns. So many have failed and only a few have had any kind of success. I would rather yank a coordinator who is currently in the NFL. However, the GM choice is going to be the more important choice. Also, everything I read before was that Saban wanted personnel control, which is not going to happen in Cleveland now with any coach. |

"Jim Brown is talking to Ozzie now."
There's your problem right there. If JB is in charge of the hiring, no way Saban gets the job. Why is he involved at all?
Randy Lerner = Mike Brown
