Absolutely love this hire. Balancing a young staff with one of the top OL coaches in the league... #Browns doing a good job so far with the staff. https://twitter.com/MacRobinson95/status/1219388883869282305

Some real quality names. Glad to know some of them that are gone, and glad to know we have their replacements in place. Same grinder, but feels bit different so far. And glad to see ST coaches. Now if we had a placekicker or just cut The Hammer loose. Just felt like a steady positive vibe. The loyalty for in-house quality to be kept is not just promising, but encouraging and refreshing.

@damienwoody on @BullandFox : “ai can’t even imagine what Nick Chubb will be able to do next year. I think Browns fans should be ecstatic that they got Bill Callahan on the staff.

Callahan is a tremendous hire.
Given the good possibility we will be drafting an OL in the first round, he'll be a great guy help develop the player.
Good news on the other coaching staff front as well.

J/c. My friend at work is a huge skins fan and has raved about how well Callahan has coached their O line. I know that B Scherf and Trent love the guy according to him. Wouldn't mind seeing them in Browns uniform next year as we clearly need a LT and RG.

Stefanski is slowly winning me over with these hires so far.
If we get Paton and McDaniel I will start to get excited.
What would it take for us to pry Trent Williams from WSH?

Next year I'd be offering a 3rd and making them feel like they won by asking us to throw in a 5th. He's got all the power just by saying he's holding out again and waiting for the fans to do the rest.

I like that there is real effort, or at least the appearance of real effort, to look at what we have already in-house before looking outside.
I'm not going to get my hopes up, or set expectations, but it would be great to see this carry over with whomever the new GM is when it comes to the players' roster.
The old way of getting rid of "their guys" to bring in "my guys" and all the ego that drives that sort of small-minded inferiority complex-type thinking MUST get left in the past. If we are ever going to move this franchise forward, it has to begin with a complete overhaul of how we THINK.
I do too, but it makes sense. Stefanski was held over through 3 head coaches in Minnesota. Hold over coaches are valuable to the new coach and valuable to the players. They offer a bridge each way.

I am really pulling for Callahan to succeed, and I think Stump will have a solid product at worst, and an outside chance at an amazing success if we get some better horses better trained.

We should be working out a trade, and taking no prisoners. Probably should get a GM.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I always thought the 'losing out on all the top assistants' line of thinking was a bit dubious, or at least didn't give the full picture. There are a lot of nepotism hires (I'm including friendships and past work colleagues in this context) and general incompetence in the NFL. Maybe the better way to look at it is this extra time gives the Browns more time for due diligence to make excellent hires. Callahan is a good one. I'm excited to see what he can do with the O-line.

It seems like every time we hire an OL coach, he's the greatest. We've hired like 5 'greatest' OL coaches in a row.
It seems like our OL coach hires always get tons of love when they're brought in.

Yeah, I like to wait and see. I do like that Callahan has HC experience though too

It seems like our OL coach hires always get tons of love when they're brought in. Bob Wylie probably had the least hype but the best results. He had Robinson looking competent for a stretch anyways. Callahan seems to be pretty cerebral and adaptable from what I've been able to find. Sounds like a good fit with the "aligned operation" we're putting together, on paper.

I'm guessing that Joe Wood can't be made official until after the SB. Which means it's not yet set in stone.

Here's some analytics (aka information) from 2018 on OL Coach rankings: Not trying to be annoying ('trying' being the operative word), but those columns would be much more indicative of your QB/RB, offense and opponent before your Oline coaching, imo.

If not, I don't think we would just be milling around waiting and hoping. We'd be seeing some defensive people rolling in to town. We will see Woods fly in to town the Monday after the Super Bowl, and be announced that afternoon. My bet is the contract is written and approved by all parties. Woods Browns clothes in his size are hanging in his future office, ready for signing day. He shows up, signs, and begins. His wife is already scouting homes in the Cleveland area. Maybe already has it picked out.

Here's some analytics (aka information) from 2018 on OL Coach rankings: This info looks very incomplete imo. Considering the success of San Fran and the Titans this year and what seems to be trend towards zone blocking run oriented teams this would seem particularly incomplete. It’s a ranking based on only 2 metrics.

Wade Phillips must have had to give his Browns gear away. 
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I can appreciate that and agree a better fit should mean more success. What I was trying to indicate was that we had success in spite of ourselves. Didn't hand him the horses last year for line.

Thank you for that. Yeah, it definitely seems like if you've got Tom Brady and Chubb on your team, you're gonna be the best Oline coach ever, according to that. That said, I looked at it again and it's kinda interesting to see teams who diverged significantly between the 2 stats.
