What Now?
If I was a head coach candidate. I would kill to go to Buffalo.
Let's see if the Browns contact McDermott. Yeah, Josh Allen in his prime will make that job a priority job that is open. If new coach does not keep Joe Brady OC he will also become a hot name that is available.

I wish I was confident in the head coaching search.
I don't feel good about these young coordinators with the roster we have.
Schwartz seems like the safest pick. He has a boatload of experience that doesn't come easy.
Jim will be able to hire a staff quickly.
I think he knows who he wants as a OC.
JS is easier to trust than guys who have not had head coaching experience.

With McDaniel now out of the picture.
Doubt in this search is creeping in.
How Monken is being considered is off the wall to me. He knows offense but he is not a guy who can run a team.
His personality is not right for the job.
Sure you can talk yourself into "hire the young hot coordinator; he will be the next McVay."
Except McVay was qualified. He was the OC for three years and he had great experience before that job.
Undinski has one year of experience as a OC. Scheelhaase was an assistant and is now a passing game coordinator.
They are supposed to come in assemble a staff and be the face of a franchise?
This is going the direction I feared.

I can see this going the way I feared from the beginning.
We end with someone others did not consider and get turned down by candidates going for better opportunities.

I'm starting to feel the same way, like we're going to have to settle for leftovers. Of course, we could do the smart thing and hire JS and then an OC if Rees leaves. That might be the easiest and smartest way out.

What I think should have been obvious from the beginning is the Browns are not a desired destination for top HC candidates. There are and were much better situations available to them. Only if and when those avenues are exhausted would they consider coming here. When someone turns down an interview as your HC to accept a position as OC on another team that should tell people all they need to know.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

The Browns HC job should be a covered posit.
You sign a 5 year contract
Get fired after 2
Get another job

We end with someone others did not consider and get turned down by candidates going for better opportunities. To be fair, all the candidates interviewed by the Browns have had or are planning to have interviews with other teams. How the other teams view these candidates are anybody's guess. The younger guys, they are viewed as very intelligent coaches. The obvious question is can they lead a team. I am not worried about if they can build a staff. I am sure they have connections throughout the NFL and/or they do have veteran coaches that can vouch coaching with them. You can look at it in a positive light, they are doing their due diligence on casting a wide net of coaches from various teams and backgrounds. They know Schwartz very well as being with the organization for a few years. I expect/assume they know what exactly JS wants and have gotten their feedback (positive or negative) about his feelings regarding interviewing other candidates.

We end with someone others did not consider and get turned down by candidates going for better opportunities. We can do what (I believe) the Patriots did. They hired a placeholder (Jerod Mayo), and then dumped him when someone they were targeting became available. This offensive roster is going to be a mess for at least another year.

I have no problem with the process and even the candidates.
Berry is a smart guy. However, Haslam will add his two cents which is worth way more since he owns the team.
I think Haslam and Berry want a guy who can develop a quarterback. JS they want as DC.
The question is will JS be ok with that? Or, will they accept a OC that JS wants?
