@AlbertBreer on @BullandFox on #Browns coach search: "My understanding is that they met extensively earlier this week to talk about the process and from what I understand John Dorsey got assurances from Jimmy and Dee Haslam he'd be running the coaching search"

Kyle - OC 49ers.
Seems he got a raw deal last time he was in Cleveland and has been pretty successful since he left. Not sure whom he had the conflict with in Cleveland over Manziel but I am thinking it was Farmer.(If it was Haslam then forget I brought up his name.)

I like Bruce a lot and one of the things I like best about him is knowing how bad he wants the job. I'd take either of those top 2 choices.

The knock on Harbaugh I'm reading is his inability to hire an OC to work with Baker...


Jim Schwartz could bring DeFilippo in as OC as they worked together in Philly...

The scenario would have to be DeFillipo as HC and Schwartz as DC

Why would the Vikings let DeFelilppo leave?

Why would the Eagles let Schwartz leave?

I believe they wouldn't have a choice. They could up the ante to keep him, however.

He just signed a contract last year. Unless it was a one year deal, the Vikings would have to give permission to us in order for us to interview/hire him.

This happens every year. Anything but a head coaching job is a lateral move.

Incorrect. Only if he his team is in the playoffs will they need permission. Defilippo would also be assistant head coach. You can't interview for the same position. Unless the Vikings offered to make him the assistant HC could they stop the Browns from hiring.

An assistant coach under contract for the 2016 season must be granted permission to interview with another team if the interview is for a head coach position. A team can deny interviews for an assistant coach under contract interviewing for a non-head coach position.

As it stands, if Team A is conducting a search for a new coordinator and Team B has a young quarterback coach or offensive line coach, for instance, who Team A wants to hire as a primary play caller and leader of its offense or defense or special teams, Team B can block that process from ever taking place. Nip it in the bud. Never even let them speak.

Team B can decline the interview request out of hand, refuse the opportunity to even communicate with the other team, and move on as business as usual. It doesn't matter if that assistant coach has never had much leverage before, and might be on a one-or-two year deal with only one year remaining. It doesn't matter if Team B, in this case, already has an established coordinator in place and no short-terms plans to promote that position coach. It doesn't matter if he is among the lowest-paid coaches in the league at his current position, or one of the highest. They can bury the request and squat on the coach's rights for the length of his contract.

Now, in many instances, Team B will take note of the increasing allure of this (potentially) rising coach and reward him with a longer and more lucrative deal ... but there is no guarantee he will rise to that coordinator rank with this current team, and there is always the threat that 11 months later the entire coaching staff will be looking for work if the current head coach of Team B is fired. That's how it works.

He isn't a horrible owner. He is involved in the community. He spends money.

He may not have found his long-term head coach but it isn't from a lack of trying.

At least he isn't an absentee owner like the last owner was.

I think they could pull some type of asst. HC maneuver but I'm not sure about that.

There's a difference in conducting a search and hiring the HC. I haven't seen anywhere that says who is hired is Dorsey's decision or that Haslam doesn't have to sign off on it.

Dorsey is leading the search. He is the guy who is going to say, this is our guy.

The final decision on selecting the coach will be made by Dorsey and owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, with Dorsey's recommendation weighing heavily.

Yes he is "leading the search" but there is nothing saying the hiring is his call.

This is from the article you posted.



See? Owners still involved.

I believe Assistant HC isn't just a fancy title it is an upgrade over just being the OC. I know it's been used in the past to either hire or retain a coach.

I am very confident that whoever Dorsey wants is who we will get, so you guys can hem and haw about it all you want.

so 15, was hue a “horrible hire”. Did you think so at the time or did you praise the hire like most did?? Would you have made that hire three years ago?? Fans on here who praised the hiring of hue three years and are now saying haslem cannot make good hires are phony bologna, 20/20 hindsight, after the fact critics.
most of haslems hires have been considered solid at the time of hire, sashi being the notable exception to that. I do hope jimmy has learned that chain of command is important and that trusting your hire (Dorsey) to do his job is what he needs to do.
