OBR says they just interviewed Rob Chudzinski.

Can someone tell me who that is?

His resume is unimpressive.

I remember Chud, and Heiden really blossomed under his tutelage. Plus, the offensive numbers seemed to get better while he was calling the shots. But history had a way of distorting the truth, so prove I'm wrong...

thanks ABF......
i understand that the league may have changed the rules to stop coaches from bailing. i also understand that it's a rule using a play with words, because there is a pecking order in any business or just plain life in general.
anyone remember when mo and davidson had a falling out? it was simply because the two weren't on the same page on the plays being called. that being said, mo won the battle because he had the final say. he was OVER davidson and the other O position coaches.
they can change the rule if they want, but don't insult the fan's intelligence by saying they are all lateral moves because they aren't. there is a pecking order and they all have to answer to someone other than rac.

Just clicking...

Looks like the Browns are waiting to interview "someone" else for the OC position and the only reason they would be waiting is, they have to.

Just a guess, but there may be someone on the stafff of one of the remaining four playoff teams that Savage wants to interview.

Now, who might Savage be waiting for?

Browns asking to talk to 'Chud'
Saturday, January 20, 2007
By Mary Kay Cabot
Plain Dealer Reporter
The Browns have been granted permission by the Chargers to interview former Browns assistant Rob Chudzinski for their offensive coordinator job, the San Diego Union-Tribune is reporting.

Chudzinski, currently the Chargers tight ends coach, joined the NFL in that capacity under Butch Davis in 2004 and was promoted to coordinator when Davis resigned with five games remaining and Terry Robiskie was named interim head coach. He was viewed as a rising star in Cleveland before Davis resigned.

Chudzinski, a Toledo native and lifelong Browns fan, is one of four candidates so far. Others include current Browns offensive line coach / assistant head coach Jeff Davidson, Browns quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer and former Atlanta offensive coordinator Greg Knapp.


Chudzinski - better known as Chud - joined the Chargers after 2004 and has learned from one of the best in former Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, who took over as Dolphins head coach on Friday. It is not yet known if Chudzinski will interview for the Chargers opening.

Chudzinski, the former Miami Hurricanes offensive coordinator under Davis who coached Kellen Winslow Jr. there, helped lead the Chargers to No. 4 in total offense this season and No. 1 in scoring. He also coached tight end Antonio Gates to his third consecutive Pro Bowl.

In his first season with the Chargers in 2005, Chudzinski helped Gates achieve career-highs with 89 catches and 1,101 yards.

A former Hurricanes tight end, Chudzinski was credited with developing three premier tight ends at Miami: future NFL Pro Bowlers Bubba Franks and Jeremy Shockey, and Winslow. Chudzinski was instrumental in the Browns drafting Winslow with the sixth overall pick in 2004.

He has a great relationship with Winslow and undoubtedly would be good for him on and off the field.

In Chudzinski's three seasons as Miami's offensive coordinator, the Hurricanes went 35-3 and finished in the top 10 on offense every year. In 2003, the Hurricanes averaged 27.8 points and finished with an 11-2 record, including a 16-14 victory over Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

In 2002, Miami enjoyed its most prolific season under Chudzinski, setting school records for points (527), total yards (6,074) and rushing touchdowns (33).

this interview makes alot of sense. local boy that has a history with winslow, who can give us the identity we need on O. miamis O was full out balls to the wall, and i can see the same thing happening here.
maybe we could sign james jackson back.

It kinda makes me wonder why he was "let go" as TE's coach after Butch left. I really thought he would have been one to stick.

Then again, maybe he resigned too.

i think it was the new regime wanting their own guys more than anything. he was one of my favorite butch picks.

And now thay may want him back. *lol*

Another Plan B interview. See what Chud has learned under Cameron, who's offense led the league with 30.8 ppg. Damn near doubles our offensive output.

You should use a graemlin when you make a joke.

You were joking, weren't you?

JC

I was thinking the same thing. We want the guy back when we could have had him all along.

I wonder what it was about him that made Romeo feel he wouldn't be a good coach on his staff then and be so good now??

And just a hint....this isn't a dig at Chud

I shoulda used a wink at least. or a smirk.

Doesn't it seem puzzling that they didn't retain him but now want him back? I don't know but I wonder how often that happens. Not good enough to be the tight ends coach but relished as the OC.

It was probably RAC giving his bud, Ben Coates a shot at coaching.

Probably so....I don't think Romeo gets to make many calls on staff or selection matters anymore.

It is almost as if we have a eunuch coaching our team.

It was probably RAC giving his bud, Ben Coates a shot at coaching.

i think that was it more than anything.

You have to ask your self : Who the devil would want to walk into a mess like the " Browns " ??
