Cleveland Browns (2012 season)

[LitlBuck]

This site says to keep an eye on David Caldwell, Atlanta's Director of Player Personnel. Things that Lombardi is not the lock that people are talking about. Same regarding McDaniels and Nick.

Where in the world did that name come from

The step-in job done with Indy. Ties too the Steelers.
Just a name I'm tossing out.

Wow...you ended a sentence without using

He was offensive coordinator for the Browns 2001-2003 when Butch Davis was HC, and then he went to the Steelers.

I knew who he is but I was questioning the fact that his name is being mentioned as a potential HC candidate for the Browns. He is pretty old and I do not think that the Cleveland faithful would be very happy with his return.

The lists I have seen are not mentioning Gruden at all. Why?

I don't know maybe everyone is just getting tired of talking about him. I think if he is going to come back to the NFL this certainly would be the year with the number of job openings that there is going to be. Unsure why his name has not been mentioned with the Browns except for the fact I mentioned above.

Doesn't seem to be interested in a return to coaching.

the one factor that could work for us, that is yet to be seen, is if Haslam is willing to dig deep into his pockets to get a coach that is a proven winner...gruden, saban, cower, kelly are all names that as of right now are all longshots but you never know how much their asking price is...i have very low expectations for our next coach and i cant see anyone being a huge upgrade over shurmur at this point...everyone i have seen mentioned is another assistant and so the 2 year coach carousel will continue

This is the big question. If Haslam is willing to give a coach a 5 year 10 mil a year contract all bets are off. I doubt this will be the case.

Shurmur and Heckart are to be fired by Monday...

Nothing like staring the offseason right away!

Not sure I like Heckert getting canned but we are the fucking browns so stupidity is expected

 

[NFBuck]

Who gives a [Mark May]. I just expect another coaching search in three years (max) anyway...until I see different.

FYI, some of you are probably going to have to sacrifice your children to Saban in order to get that deal done. That's what really happened to Natalee Holloway.
