ballpeen Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Everything I've read is saying both Haslam and Banner are in AZ to interview candidates. I haven't read anything specifically saying Haslam is in the interview but based on what little I know of the guy it seems highly unlikely he's not. Thanks. Today I am reading more that says Haslam is in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Updated list of interviewees: Ray Horton Bill O'Brien Ken Wisenhunt Doug Marrone Chip Kelly (tomorrow) Also, it was reported that Banner plans to interview more candidates after Kelly. Any guesses? Mike McCoy Kyle Shanahan Others?? Or is that comment simply a smoke screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is important to do all this due diligence.....but lets face it, I don't think any decision will be made until next week AFTER they have had a chance to talk to Nick Saban after his bowl game.

BadNewsBrowns Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 One guy I do not want at all is Whisenhunt. Why? 58-0. Could you imagine the shit Shurmur would have gotten if he lost a game 58-0? The Browns were not outscored by 58 points cumulatively until week 15, 17 if you take into account our wins.

The Gipper Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Mandich really held back. He's a hoot on radio down here in South Florida Zombo I am sure he is just pissed that Saban left the Fins for what he thought were greener pastures. Nothing compared to what we have called some of our turncoats....see Modell, LeBron. If Saban were to come here, face it...it would probably be for a fairly short run. Longer if he had some real success. I will say this: If Saban were to come here the way he went to Alabama and won 3 titles in 4 years, I would be willing to say goodbye to him after the 4 years. After all, he would then be 65 and of retirement age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I take it you are not giving Notre Dame much of a shot? Zombo No, no, actually I would prefer if ND would win. And I think they have a hell of a chance.....but then so does Alabama. I guess I would be somewhat satisfied if Saban took the Browns to 3 Super Bowls, winning 2. Would you take that?

The Gipper Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Jim Mandich passed away from cancer over a year ago. I was referring to Saban who is, I think, like 61 or 62 right now. 4 years til Social Security. He brings the Browns 3 Super Bowl wins in those 4 years and it is OK if he retires.

The Gipper Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Status as I understand it on various coach searches: Cardinals interviewing Lovie Smith, Todd Haley, Ray Horton Bills interviewing Smith, Ken Whisenhunt, Mike McCoy OC of Broncos and Chip Kelly Bears interviewing Bruce Arians, Mike Sullivan Buc OC, Keith Armstrong Falcons ST coach, Joe Camillis Cowboys ST coach Chiefs have hired Reid and will likely bring Heckert in as GM Eagles interviewing Kelly, Armstrong, McCoy and Mike Nolan Chargers interviewing Lovie, Arians, Whisenhunt. Where are the Grudens? either John or Jay. Cowher? Holmgren? Billick? What about Brian Kelly? Les Miles? Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Browns lose out on Kelly (and I don't think they will, due to Banner being all palsy-walsy with Kelly's agent), my fall back plan would be Kyle Shanahan. I'm not particularly enamored of Saban- and if you read the undercurrent- Haslam & company are looking for a "long term solution"- which Nick most definitely is NOT. I doubt he'd be the type who would want to coach well into his seventies like Marv Levy. PS regarding Holmgren- bah humbug. The guy already had one chance last year- with the Browns. He should have taken over when it was obvious his protege Shur-loss couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the Grudens? either John or Jay. Cowher? Holmgren? Billick? What about Brian Kelly? Les Miles? Anyone else? Billick has said repeatedly that he wants no part of going back to coaching. I'm surprised that Brian KElly hasn't gotten any attention or mentions. I'm sure we'll hear something from both Grudens once the Bengals are eliminated. I doubt that Cowher will ever come back to coaching. He's not that young anymore and he had his career. I wouldn't be shocked in Jon Gruden waits out another year and goes to Carolina when that job opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hempman Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Kelly tried to play the Browns. I don't think we know who their "number 2" really is. I don't think they have been "formally" interviewed yet. Guys like O'brien, Marrone and Horton are patsies for Kelly. Sorta what the Eagles are using Mike McCoy for.
