Anytime you can limit your coaching pool by having strings attached to the job you must do it!

"Don't call me, we'll call you."

I don't think Monkin has the charisma to be a HC. Players don't even like him in lesser roles. He is part of the reason the Ravens don't have a HC anymore because Lamar hates Monkin.

If that is the case then just hire Jim Schwartz and then have him find a good offensive coordinator.

The best way to keep Schwartz is to make him head coach. An arranged marriage isn't the best way to go.

Slide Tarver up to DC, find a new LB coach and things on that side of the ball remain mostly the same.

Hire a good OC and then allow Schwartz to demand the toughness his D's have exhibited throughout the entire team.

This isn't that hard to figure out. Why do we always make simple solutions into complex calculations?

This whole talk of Harbaugh coming here has me thinking shades of the past.... That in the worst possible way.

Andre Rison..... paid a boat load, went out on the limb to get him.... Modell had to borrow from a bank to just pay his salary....

Backing up the Brinks truck to get Holmgren... Another example of shooting your shot.... Nothing

Most recently, Deshown Watson,,,, need I say more.

If you get Harbaugh, pay him what's reported that he wants ($20 mil) Pay his staff ($10 mil) and turn over the responsibilities of finding F/A talent and drafting talent and managing the CAP.......

I think you burden the team for years to come.

I get it however,, we have a new stadium coming,. They want to be Up and Running by the time we play our first game in there. They want to make a splash.

You'd never see a Pittsburgh do that.... You'd never see a Baltimore do that. They both build organically. And they always stay in contention..

Big Risks can be fun to watch, they just rarely work out.

I get what you're saying. First and foremost Harbaugh has decided to limit his list to a few teams he will even interview with and we don't know if the Browns will even be one of them. I know if I were in his position the Browns wouldn't be near the top of my list.

And secondly you have to figure out how badly you want a guy. If you make the decision you want him badly enough you have to pay what the market will bear for his services. That's why athletes make so much money. Very few athletes are at the elite level. When they are people pay them a fortune for their talent. Supply and demand.

Harbaugh is going to get big money and a lot of control somewhere. The only question left is where.

As it pertains to the money. I don't think there's a chance in hell Harbaugh will come here in the first place. But for the sake of argument if he did, the money means nothing. Coaches salaries do not count against the salary cap so it in no way hampers the ability to sign FA's once they get the watson debacle off their back.

Let's face it, Halslam has never had a problem firing HC's who still have time on their contracts. At one point he was paying three HC's at the same time. Two fired HC's and the current HC by firing the previous two so quickly........................

“I’ll say one other thing: These are expensive moves,” the owner said. “We’re not only just saying it; we’re talking with our pocketbook. These are not cheap moves to make. I’m not saying that should be the guiding factor, but we are doing everything we can to get this right.”

In what has become an almost annual tradition, the Browns will pay a head coach not to work for them next season. In fact, they will pay two of them, as Pat Shurmur still had two years remaining on his deal when he was sacked at the end of the last season.

Rams pass game coordinator?

That would require real reporters..wanting to actually doing their jobs and playing devils advocate instead of asking stupid crap every week no one gives a hoot about. At times I think they are on the Browns payroll .

I remember complaints from fans saying they struggle to hear the questions the press asks at pressers, including myself.

Maybe they are doing us a favor by not hearing them
