Pavo Joe Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'd be ok with Freddie. He has lots of experience even if it wasn't as a head coach. Josh can stay there. He had his chance and turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I told my uncles on Christmas Eve I had a gut feeling that they were gonna hire Kitchens. They thought I was crazy. I hope I get to do an "I told you so" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news Josh McDaniels is staying with New England. Z Well, if you look at his bio on Wiki, he's been coaching since 1999, and coaching in the pros since 2006. Not like he doesn't have a fair amount of experience. & it's not unheard of to have a guy who was below the coordinator level to make the jump up to head coach...

AP1 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 If it is Kitchens, any speculation on OC or DC? Does Williams stick around? Is he asked to stick around? Why wouldn't he want to stick around if offered? Wanting as much continuity as possible, I am guessing that as HC Kitchens would have an OC, that calls plays, which was one of Kitchens' upsides during the last half of the season. Or does Kitchens call his own plays? None of this is devil's advocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren15 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 19m19 minutes ago More My understanding is that two finalists for the #Browns head coach job are Freddie Kitchens and Kevin Stefanski. At this point, those are the only two known finalists, so that may be it. @TomPelissero said Stefanski headed there now, Kitchens is still in the building.

Interesting Gregg hasn't gotten any interest in other HC gigs, but he may be waiting to see what happens when the smoke clears in Berea.....

Westside Steve Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 He's a great OC. He could probably do both jobs if he had someone to rely on completely as DC and the right-hand man some the chores of head coach that he's not used. Williams? It needs to be his pic not a shotgun marriage like Hue & Haley. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton Mike Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I honestly believe Gregg may stay. He is respected here, has a staff in place, a GM who will work to get him what he needs & a HC (assuming Freddie) who he knows he works well with. Let's just see what happens.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Stefanski was asked to interview for HC with the goal of surmising if he'd interested in taking this route if offered the position. The fact he's coming back to Cleveland leads me to believe this is exactly what the plan is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
