Whisenhunt was in my top 3 last year. Zimmer was #1. I don't remember who the 3rd guy was so Whisenhunt may have been 2 or 3.
But I thought the Browns said they were no going to consider people they interviewed last season?
It is one of either three things.
1. They changed their minds, or...
2. They lied, or...
3. They really aren't going to interview him.

Good articles, both of them.
The last paragraph of the second article struck a nerve with me...
"There are currently seven head-coaching jobs open in the NFL. How many will be open again in three years? Probably three or four. Maybe then teams will realize failure isn't the fault of just one man; rather, it stems from the inability to help build the organization around the coach, the team's leader."
If this FO does not get behind and support their new coach then it will be the "same old Browns".

Whisenhunt is interviewing for 3 different HC jobs in the lead-up to the SD v. Denver game!  first, if true, that is absolutely ludicrous. second, I thought there was a NFL rule precluding this from happening (as we had to interview coaches from playoff teams ONLY during the bye week).

This seems to be an odd year for coaching replacements.... Not only have we not filled the position... neither have several other teams... And not a whole lot of names being thrown out as usual...
I think that is because most of the popular candidates are still alive in the playoffs...

Funny, hypocritical article from a year ago: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000...=ATL_newsdriver
Django: After reading that Lombardi article, I couldn't help myself.
This is what I wrote in the 'comments' section:
Quote:
"My, what a difference a year makes.
Do you feel sad again this year... considering the fact that you are part of a "brain trust" that just fired its Head Coach after 11 months?
Sad, indeed."
Granted, it doesn't help fix the Browns' current situation, but it made me feel a little better....

J/C If I remember right when Mangini was fired some on here suggested Rob Ryan for the head coaching job. After a stint in Dallas where he was fired as the DC ( which seems to have been a mistake by Jerry Jones) and a successful, to date, run as the DC for the Saints he would seem nearing a point where he starts being talked about for a head coaching vacancy somewhere. I don't see him meshing well with Banner or Lombardi but have nothing really to base that conclusion on, just a feeling.

In all of Rob Ryan's time as an NFL coordinator, he's been a part of one winning team, which happened this year.
One.

One.
I don't think his defense this year is all that great too. Blown out a bunch of times.
Not to mention they did give up that score late. Thanks to horrible special teams and a dumb horse collar penalty, it set them up for the win.
He's not a great coordinator, but the players love him, and his defenses get streaky, so he'll be around a while.

I'm going to lock this thread, anyone can feel free to start a new one. When we decided to go with unlimited pages we were not aware of how this would effect people accessing the board on phones, etc. It's not working for those folks at all.
We will now be locking threads at 10 pages, and as always, posters can start a new thread if there is still interest in discussing the topic.
