sure he was.

i know if someone is puking, i aint going anywhere near him and there were a boatload next to him.

Dorsey will resign.

I do believe he was on the injury report with an "illness".

Being allergic to The Browns is not an illness.

Seems like Dorsey's next play.

The embarrassing and disastrous hire of Kitchens was his demise.

that will open up alot of options for coaches then.

j/c:

Those three would be an excellent start.

I only want Stefanski if Gary Kubiak comes with him.

What's a Matt Rhule??

The rumors of Andrew Berry returning are quite exciting.

Baylor's Coach

It doesn't matter at all who we get; nothing will change.

Hope will spring again, and it will all crash down again.

It's just pointless.

Jim Harbaugh is currently trending on Twitter.

I'll be very concerned if we hire McDaniels.. I just don't think he has the personality to vibe well with big ego guys.

This is really interesting and seems to have just been glossed over by those on here.

Why would Matt Rhule not be interested? My theory goes like this...Matt Rhule by reputation is an actual leader and a smart guy. He would never put his career in the hands of the Haslams who couldn't identify a leader if it bit them in the face and if they happened to stumble upon one, wouldn't provide the structure and culture to have them succeed.

I think that Matt Rhule has no interest is a really interesting side plot to all of this. A natural born leader wants nothing to do with the Cleveland Browns.

I mean what does that say?

Who knows? Maybe he doesn't like Ohio/winter weather?

1) I try not to read into things.

2) I assume not everything I read on the internet is true. A few months ago some were chastising Baker because a false report that he refused to shake Sherman's hand before a game.

3) A lot of people like to twist words. Take Mary Kay for instance. He easily could have said he had a bad experience at a Cleveland restaurant once and it becomes he said he's not coming to Cleveland to coach.

4) If it is true and he doesn't want to coach here, good. I don't want him here either. No big deal.

He's interested in the Giants. My guess is that he's only interested in teams that he knows actually want to hire him. The Jets wasted his time last year. Also, the obvious Haslam factor.

The last 2 guys I want are McDaniels or McCarthy ...... (no Mc's for me)

That means that we'll wind up with one of them.

Those two will end our playoff drought so oh well let’s get em.

Yeah, why wouldn't you want two of the better/best choices?

If anything, McDaniels is similar to Belichick's situation. He was an up and coming "genius" that tried as a coach and failed, went back to being a coordinator under one of the best coaches around, and now is ready to try head coaching again.

McCarthy has probably the best past track record (win/loss record) as any head coach available. He's apparently been spending the entire season having his own conferences with other unemployed/former coaches trying to improve as a coach for his next gig. He hasn't been sitting around collecting unemployment checks. He wants to come back better than ever.

What I kind of don't want is a college guy/first-time NFL coach. We already tried that gamble, and it failed miserably.

No love lost from me if he takes his cud-chewing over-inflated sense of self-worth somewhere else. Freakin Lord Dorsey.

McDaniels didn't do that bad as a HC. HE took the Broncos to the playoffs and won a game with Tim Tebow as his Qb. He did quite well as coach given how terrible his GM was. (Yes, I know he was his own GM)

Actually he was fired 12 games into his 2nd season and never took the Broncos to playoffs, but I'd still take him as the coach here.

I hope not, but shine has dulled on John Dorsey. If he leaves, so be it. I am sure that Wolf would gladly take the position. I have seen a report that Haslam wants to bring Andrew Berry back.

Really? My bad. I must have misremembered.

Part of a Story about McDaniels firing in Denver ...
https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=5892528

After winning his first six games his rookie season, McDaniels lost 17 of his last 22 with the Broncos in his first NFL head coaching job.

He had plenty of off-the-field issues, too, including linebacker D.J. Williams' drunken driving charge that caused him to get stripped of his captaincy.

Before he was fired Monday, McDaniels said he was reticent to turn to raw rookie quarterback Tim Tebow even though the Broncos had been eliminated from contention with a 10-6 loss at Kansas City, their seventh loss in eight games.

McDaniels made a series of personnel decisions that backfired, notably trading away Peyton Hillis, who has become a power running back in Cleveland. He also let go of Casey Wiegmann, who's anchoring the league's top rushing attack in Kansas City.

After beefing up both lines in the offseason, the Broncos rank 29th in the league in rushing offense and next-to-last in run defense.

Why don't the Browns interview Caldwell? I still don't understand why he was fired after going 9-7 and going to the playoffs.

wrong use of the word "reticent," the word should be "reluctant"....not to quibble but if that's indicative of the whole article, just sayin'

What's the number of open positions up to now? 4 with Dallas possibly the 5th?

Dallas, NYG, Washington are pretty high profile jobs. Carolina has weather going for it and then there's...Cleveland.

Better interview these guys quickly if you want to nab your first choice coach.
