I would take Singletary in a heartbeat to run our defense... Played in the 46... Coached the 3-4... Demands discipline and knows how to motivate... Yes I would LOVE to see him on our sidelines as a DC...

The problem is that Singletary lost that team completely while in San Francisco.
I would like a much more experienced DC if we go with an offensive minded head coach. I don't expect that Ryan will be back, even if he does not get a head coaching gig. There's no one on the defensive side of the ball that I see as a potential DC.
Maybe bring in John Fox if he doesn't get a head coach job. Maybe Ron Meeks?
Pepper Johnson might be a guy to look at if we go with a guy who is less experienced as a DC.
Maybe Dick Jauron? I think that he's available.

This tells me you don't watch much football outside of the Browns.
Singletary was an EPIC failure as coach of the 9ers. He does not know how to motivate. On top of that, he's never been a DC ever anywhere.
Singletary and McDaniels were the two biggest jokes of coaches this year. 1a and 1b in whichever order you'd like. But at least McDaniels had success as an OC.
No thank you to Singletary. I'd take McDaniels as an OC.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

Jauron is interesting... Guess I am just musing about and trying to rationalize how I can stomach another rebuild of a coaching staff and find it within me to have some confidence in the direction they are trying to go... Really hope that MH can prove to be right on this one because not sure how many more years of ineptitude with this team most of us fans take... If he proves to be as good at this President job as he was a HC then I would allow Django to tattoo a tramp stamp of the guy on my back...

This "Head Coach Interviews" thread sucks!
Hey refs, how about deleting all the nonsense and getting it back on point? Just a thought. 
Good luck with that....they rarely clean up or police anything anymore....and people wonder why threads go long.

I'm Thinking Brian Schottenheimer would be a better coach than Morniwheg, who is a proven 5-27 record head coach in the NFL.
They have to make a decision, are they going to get serious about competing in this division, or feed us more of the same.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

I don't think you can look at his record in Det and use that as a useful gage.
Mooch coached there as well and didn't get anything done.
That said, I am not all that big on him getting the job. I would rather see Schumer if we go with a coach like that.
In the end Homie and Heck will have their process and select the guy they feel best suited for the job.
Whoever it is becomes our guy for the next several seasons.
Let's hope it works out.

j/c My top candidate: Browns confirm Mularkey Interview By Matt Florjancic, ClevelandBrowns.com Staff Writer Posted Jan 8, 2011 On Saturday evening, the Browns confirmed Mike Mularkey was interviewed for the team’s head coaching vacancy in the Atlanta area. Mularkey is currently the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, the NFC’s No. 1 seed for this season’s playoffs. Prior to his time with the Falcons, Mularkey was the offensive coordinator and tight ends coach with the Miami Dolphins (2006-2007), head coach of the Buffalo Bills (2004-05), Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator (2001-2003), Steelers tight ends coach (1996-2000) and tight ends coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1995). Mularkey has been with the Falcons since they drafted quarterback Matt Ryan in 2008. Under Mularkey’s tutelage, Ryan has completed 885-of-1,456 attempts (60.8 percent) for 10,061 yards and 66 touchdowns against 34 interceptions. Running back Michael Turner ran for 3,941 yards with 23 touchdowns and averaged over 4.1 yards-per-carry in each of the last three seasons. Link

I'm hoping for Mornhinweg. I'm sure we'll probably here of him interviewing soon.
On a side note, has Perry Fewell been in for an interview yet? Seems like he hasn't, which means we still haven't satisfied the Rooney Rule.

yea KOB, im not sure Tressel would be the right course of action. that being said if signing him ensured that we'd draft Cameron Heyward and that Brian Robiskie would get back to his old days of production id be happy with him...
on a completely unrelated note...can we draft Sanzenbacher in the 5th? I see that kid being a Welker/Edelman like stud
Also...i too am sad we havent propped up any new names...its the same 5-6 names out there for all the teams in need of a coach.

It appears that it's going to be Ron Rivera not Rob Ryan for the Panthers HC position. Quote:
All signs continue to point towards Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera becoming the next Panthers coach. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune says an announcement is expected on Tuesday.
This doesn’t’ come as a surprise. SI’s Peter King first reported Rivera was returning for a second interview, and Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the Panthers have started to call other candidates to tell them they didn’t get the job. Steve Reed of the Gaston Gazette says Rivera is “closing in” on the gig.
It’s not a hire that seems to have the Panthers fanbase excited, mostly because Rivera reminds them of John Fox in 2002. The fans want help on offense.
Rivera is a great example of how coaching stock can fluctuate over the years. Rivera was a hot coaching candidate in 2006-2007, but got a reputation as a bad interviewer. (Carolina was his ninth head coaching interview.)
The Bears surprisingly didn’t retain him for the 2007 season and Rivera had to rebuild his value as a linebackers coach in San Diego before taking the Chargers coordinator job after Ted Cottrell was let go.
A few solid seasons later, Rivera was a popular coaching candidate again. It looks like he’s taken advantage of the opportunity.

I'll propose, that there are 4 or less possible coaching hires that could win with the Browns in the afc north, that is amoung those who aren't already a head coach or already feel too big for the Job, examples Dungy, or Cowher.
So of even the coaches the Browns Could Get, the opportunity to get the RIIGHT ONE for success, is very limited.
If they get the wrong one, then the ability to win this division will be about the same as if they kept Mangini, or Crennel
Can I just forget the Browns coaches other than
Marty, Bill Bellichik, and Butch Davis.
All the others ( since 1989) have been to coaching what Wali Rainer was to linebackers.
It is a very important decision, they need to not Settle for just another head coach.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Hopefully Mularkey gave a better interview.

Fully agree. Now that Harbaugh and Rivera are off the market Brian is my top choice that I hope like hell we give serious consideration to. Holmgrens first picks so far are quite... uninspiring.

They might be uninspiring, but I'm hoping more Holmgren actually knows what he's doing and gets the correct person as a result.
He ain't about to tell us his plan, so I'm just gonna wait it out.

Last night on Sports Extra, Coach Sam said .....
"Gruden or Holmgren should step down and take over the side lines".
It's was reported earlier in the year that Gruden's son was quoted as saying that his "Father would be the 'next' Cleveland Browns Head Coach" [rumored] and that's after we beat NO and Mangini's job seemed to be some what secure.
I don't see it happening.
There certainly has been no reports coming from either side
(witch happens to be one in the same as we all know.)
So they do not have to say anything publicly, but if Gruden is not contacted prior to a head Coach being hired, then there is sure to be some questions and speculations by all.

Hope I am not starting to sound like a broken record but I am still hoping for Dom Capers. Unfortunately I have not even heard a rumor about him interviewing for any of the job openings.
Am I perfect? No
Am I trying to be a better person?
Also no

and you won't until the Packers season is over. coaches on teams without the bye week have to wait until their team is eliminated to interview. teams have little to gain by throwing rumors out there.
morhinweg I think was more of a connection by association to Holmgren than anything speculation from the media (he's free to interview now of course).

I wouldn't trade being able to follow my own Son threw his Sr. Year, but then I never had an opportunity to Coach my home town team either.

Thinking out loud:
Whoever is hired is clearly qualified.
Think about how difficult Holmgren must be to impress. The man has likely interviewed hundreds of coaches in his life so he knows where the bar is set. Many have become successful head coaches and coordinators. I'd have to imagine he knows what traits to look for.

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer Published: Monday, Jan. 10, 2011 - 12:15 pm CLEVELAND -- Philadelphia coach Andy Reid says he has not received paperwork from Cleveland to interview Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg for their coaching job. Mornhinweg is believed to be on Browns president Mike Holmgren's list of potential replacements for Eric Mangini, fired last week after consecutive 5-11 seasons. Mornhinweg played for Holmgren and has coached on his staff, and their relationship could give him an advantage to become Cleveland's fifth coach since 1999. Mornhinweg went 5-27 in 2001-02 with Detroit. Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert have interviewed St. Louis offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and Atlanta's Mike Mularkey. They're also expected to speak with New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell this week. web page

Yup,...the "Son" deal won't be limited to just this year of high school. If the kid is any good, he's gonna get some PT in college too.

I wanted to go read about Pat Shurmer and see what he has done and type of Production and his backround..so I googled his name and nothing but "Fire Pat Shurmer" came up. Granted it was 2009, but think about if Dabol got hired by the Cowboys next year and has a good season..is that a reflection on him or the players..so what is the difference between Pat Shurmer and Dabol..
What can anyone tell me about him..that goes beyond one year and having Sam Bradford? Can he be a Head Coach or would this be more of a buddy system hire. Is anyone else interviewing the guy?
