Canton Mike Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Canton Mike said: My guess...Freddie gets the HC & Stefanski, INTERIM OC in Minnesota, (whose Vikings contract expires today & is NOT returning) will be OC & Asst HC. Just an old man's mind (what's left of it) working. Mike 21 minutes ago, jrb12711 said: FWIW, it sure seems like the stars are aligning in that sort of pattern and it would be just fine with me. 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. I think he's coming in to sign up for the above (Freddie HC/Stefanski OC, asst HC) & I expect an announcement tonight or (most likely) tomorrow.

LOL, you know what our departed Flamebaiting Troll would say.... Stefanski will be running Freddie's offense. (MHO- for the most part) He wasn't exactly lighting up the NFC North, even with a QB like Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..... Not true, Bob Kraft called Gregg up a week ago and offered him Billy B's position, no interview needed just show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Kitchens is still in the building with Stefanski headed back in. Stefanski's contract expired last night at midnight. That makes him fair game for an interview other than head coach.

I'd be close to 100% confident that Kitchens will be running his offense and Stefanski will be one of the many OC's who assist in game planning and helping with managing players but not calling plays.

Who's guy is Stefanski? Is he coming back to interview as OC? And is that at the request of Freddie? Or is this a shotgun from Dorsey? Is it the other way around? Kitchens is still in the building to see if Stefanski will keep him as OC? (another shotgun) It all just seems, weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If compatible, the hire(s) may be announced tomorrow. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue reunited with Bob Wylie. And nobody wants to claim Amos f'n Jones 😋..if it's Freddie am assuming Wylie would stay. But am not sure Freddie would fire his Zona mate in Famous Amos Jones though..that maybe a deciding factor that Dorsey chooses.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 If Kitchens is our next coach and Stefanski OC, I'm not enthusiastic about this move. Hopefully I'm wrong and Dorsey nails it, but I think it is a risky bet that follows the trend of offensive coaches in current NFL. I love Kitchens but I hope we don't ruin it by putting him in a position where he is over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP1 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Stefanski, even if the ceremonial OC, gives the whole feeling that somebody felt it necessary to have "their guy" somewhere. They got exponentially more than they expected from Williams and Kitchens and that threw a wrench in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Maybe Stefanski HC? And let Kitchens run the O for a year. Because it’s Kitchens or Stefanski as the HC. It looks like Dorsey may have to make that difficult/unpopular move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(another shotgun) It all just seems, weird to me. see my other thread...it is looking like Dorsey has actual little say in this hiring. That if there is a shotgun wedding it may be made by the owner between Dorsey and whomever the owner wants to bring in. Which to me means that Dorsey could decide to walk.
