Since it seems some seriously think Harbaugh would come here in the first place, here's the only outside shot scenario I see it working. If Haslam agrees to let Harbaugh hand pick his own GM. It's not as if Haslam never hired a HC first and let that coach be a part of the GM hiring process before. But with Harbaugh I don't think being a part of the process would be enough. He would have to have control.

As we saw with watson, once Haslam sees that bright shiny object, he will let nothing stand in his way to get it.

As of now it appears Barry has Haslam in his hip pocket. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see how far down that pocket he is buried.

Since at this point in time it seems everyone is just throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks, there's my contribution to it.

Harbaugh to Miami?

It was rumored that the Browns have been interested in McDaniels for a while, but I'm at a loss to explain why that would be or what the connection is.

I'm with you that I don't think he's anywhere near talented enough as a coach (head or OC) to make up for his goofy approach. Dude shouldn't be a serious consideration.

When I heard that 7 teams inquired with Harbaugh's agent, meaning one with a coach, my first thought was Miami.

From what I've read McDaniels he has a good football mind but just isn't a leader of men and doesn't manage his staff well, poor communicator. So, naturally, he's perfect for the Browns.

I'm not even entertaining the Harbaugh thought. I mean, there's a chance I could wind up with Gal Godot. Not a very good chance, mind you. Probably best I not spend too much time on that one.

Leader of men? What era is this?

Give me a nerd and a top QB and we will beat your Bravehart coach and mediocre QB

The top 10 NFL standings

1. Bo NIx
2. Sam Darnold
3. Derek Maye
4. Trevor Lawrence
5. CJ Stroud
6. Matthew Stafford
7. Josh Allen
8. Brock Purdy
9. Caleb Williams
10. Jalen Hurts

I can keep going. Herbert, Rodgers, Love...etc. These are the QBs that made the playoffs. I highly doubt all those HC's are leader of men. I will guess they can manage a team and know how to get the best from their star QBs or get the most of their talented QBs.

Edit: apologies if I’m coming off harsh. Most of these coaches are good managers and creative offensively

My personal rankings for the Browns next HC

1, Chris Shula DC LAR
2, Jessie Minter DC LAC
3, Mario Cristobal HC Miami Hurricanes
4, Jim Schwartz DC Clevelan Browns

Out of left field: Grant Udinski OC Jacksonville Jaguars

My prediction?
Mike McCarthy: IMO Hue Jackson 2.0

Harbaugh or bust. Give him whatever he wants. Give him so much money he can't refuse and fire everyone he doesn't want. PERIOD. I bet he would keep our DC too.

This would make things in the division interesting.

Come on football gods ! Harbaugh to the Browns, Stefanski to the Ravens .... WOULD YOU NOT BE ENTERTAINED!

I hear your point and upon reflection I actually agree with you. I would much rather have the technician than the cavemen. Prefer if they're the best of both of course but all things being equal, lean geek.

Separately, Miami has been painful to watch this year and if we thought the Browns were badly coached, I invite you to watch that Miami monday night game a few weeks ago. I hate when Trey Aikman is the announcer but I found totally agreed with him that game. It was mystifying from a coaching perspective. One game isn't everything of course and he's certainly had to work with a dog at QB. But in the games I've watched, they just didn't look cohesive or like they had a real game plan, like.. lacking a firm leadership grip. Thieu games against Pitt and the Ravens, they looked worse than us. Of course maybe I just caught the bad games. They did win more than we did, so there's that.

Two sides of a very similar coin.

Another guy that I am hearing great things about is Jeff Hafley DC Green Bay Packers
