I had to Google him, and Wikipedia has him as the head coach of the Giants. Gotta love the speed of the interwebs.
I do not remember hearing this guy connected to any team. He was the WR coach at NE. I do not know what his experience is, but Freddie did have 8 games as an OC between being a position coach and a head coach. We saw how that played out.

Good point... we really dont know how any will pan out and all seem qualified enough

1. McDaniels, his second coming is just about due.
2. Daboll, I know not a favorite but I thought he was a very inovative OC when he was here and when he left us. I thought his job with Colt McCoy was excellent. He also got the most out of Allen as well.
3. Lincoln Kennedy with Urban Myer as his GM. If you going college that is the way to go.
4. was McCarthy but he is long gone.
5. Bienemy but he seemed to be very similar to Kitchens.
Guy I think is over rated...
Baylor HC Matt Rhule...yeah I know he had a nice progression with Temple and then Baylor year 1, 2 n 3 but that is college recruiting not NFL.
But what stood out for me is that he had a powder puff schedule this year - whoopity Do 10 wins. But the 3 games he needed to make a statement. Sooner game #1, Sooner game #2 and then his Bowl Game. HE LOST ALL 3...not impressed at all and he seems to be a BB wanna bee with the Hoody...jmho
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off! Go Browns! CHRIST HAS RISEN! GM Strong! & Stay safe everyone!
Urban Meyer as GM? Really? He has never even set foot in a draft room, never evaluated a free agent, and has never coached at the pro level at any position.
Pairing him with Lincoln Riley, (who I assume you meant) who has also never been in the NFL at any level, would be a colossal disaster.

Agreed. Any new HC that come in here has a 2 problems right off the bat. First of all he has the same problem any new coach would have and that is getting to know the roster, getting acclimated to his new job etc. But here in Cleveland he has another big problem; trying to turn around a losing culture. That is harder than making roster decisions IMO. Nobody in 20 years has been able to do it yet. I'd like to suggest he take a Psychology course or 2. It might be very useful!
1. McDaniels 2. Stefanski 3. Saleh 4. Schwartz 5. Roman
My updated list that no one cares about except me:
1. McDaniels 2. Schwartz 3. Stefanski 4. Saleh 5. Roman
Thank you for your time.
Schwartz catapulted up in your list! What made the difference for you?
Someone else cared?!?!?
I didn't think Schwartz was a real candidate. After researching him a but more I like him more than Stefanski and Saleh. The following are the reasons why:
1. He has already been a head coach. Normally I wouldn't value head coaching experience all that much but I think a person who has been in charge of the entire team before would be more likely to succeed with our current team. I think that one of the reasons Freddie Kitchens failed was because he lacked preparation for things that were unforeseen (cleat issues, helmet smashing, etc.). Having head coach with experience would at least have some knowledge base with how to handle crazy circumstances. That will be very useful with our drama filled team.
2. Working for the Eagles, one of the most analytically driven teams in the NFL, would give Schwartz insight into how things would work from the top down. It would also him a year of experience working with Andrew Berry (if that is who we hire as our GM).
Was not impressed by Schwartz or his record with the Lions , period .. I understand all the rage is a guy with head coach experience.. What I want is for the Haslams to go on a three year hiatus ( anywhere ) and for a young gun to be given the chance . An obvious hard charging emotional Coach like Saleh is a front runner for me .. I also like what Roman has accomplished in Baltimore ..
After today I am wondering why we aren't interviewing the OC and DC of the Titans! That is the kind of football we should be playing. Great defense and RUN THE BALL. We have Chubb AND Hunt. We have the start of a really good D. We play in the AFC North. Defense and running the ball are really important.

If yesterday's game between the 49ers and Vikes was a head to head test of which HC candidate could better lead his squad, Saleh won. If it's between Saleh and Stefanski, give me Saleh.
That said, McDaniels, with his flaws, is better prepared for the HC role. He's tried and failed, and applied himself to learning from his mistakes. Having been in the role of HC before, he has a better understanding of the difference between being a HC and being a coordinator.
We have a team that, talent-wise, is ready to compete. If we hire Saleh (or anyone w/o HC experience), he still has to learn the lessons McDaniels (or Schwartz) has already learned. Saleh may, 3-4 years down the road, be a better HC, but we need the guy who's a better HC now or we will have wasted the opportunity.
The flip side is, if Saleh is the better long-term choice. Choosing McDaniels will hurt us down the road. Of course with Haslam as owner, 3-4 years down the road will be a different HC altogether.
Given the situation; McDaniels Schwartz Saleh Rolling the dice on another OC/DC with promise

Based on little and not disagreeing with you. Just a simpler dumb lineman consideration. Of the remainder list, which one of these candidates would best fire you up and suit up to go to war with him. For me, it would be Saleh hands down. maybe there is no place for a scorching kind of coach anymore. But I have said we showed more complacency than I expected last year, partially due to over 30 giveaways and dumb play calling. And no real leader emerged.
Saleh might be able to forge something special if he brings us some fire. We have good candidates left overall, so I am trying to look for a strong "extra" that might help us.

If the Browns make a decision as important as this based on a one game sample, then they are even dumber than I thought they were.
Not only that, but Stefanski had Cousins as his QB.
Not lobbying for Stefanski. Just pointing out that it's dumb to base the decision on a head to head matchup. Not only that but you're not hiring these guys for their coordination.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...
That's not what I'm suggesting. But as a tie-breaker, assuming you have Stefanski and Saleh evaluated equally otherwise, the ability to inspire his team to take it to the next level in a win or go home game is a pretty good measuring stick.
Besides, if that's what you took as the point of my original post, then you missed the point. The point was that this team, right now, is better served a HC with experience.

Of course they aren’t going to make a decision based on one game. That’s silly. The Browns will surely have pulled and studied all the Vikings games in preparation for the interview. That still doesn’t answer, are the training wheels really off, on Stafanski yet? The Asst Head coach and Offensive Advisor, Gary Kubiak, was in a press box yesterday, seemingly in direct communication with his offensive coordinator. Who’s really running that show?
That one game though, was not a good look for their preparation skills based on the SF defense they were facing. It was a playoff game after-all. They looked as out-classed as we did most of the season.
I agree .. based on what we have seen of the Fire and Brimstone, in your face style coaches ... Vrabel .. the Harbaughs .. even Tomlin .. I do like that style of coach better than a sit on your hands composed coach.
