my point is, 2010 the Panthers an Jimmy Clausen ranked 32nd int he league on offense… The very next year they were ranked #1.

Maybe it might work out for the Browns but when it cones to Norv, be careful what you wish for.Everybody thinks he is a great OC but anybody could have run offence with Emmit,Irvin,Aikeman.

We saw the same thing in Baltimore with Billick and then Cameron. Their previous offensive success apparently had more to do with personnel than the x’s and o’s.

GREAT NEWS! Now I don’t have to spend money on tickets next year. I’ve already seen this circus once. Now I can afford that “Factory of Sadness” t-shirt I’ve been saving up for.

I guess a prerequisite to being the Browns coach is a bad resume. Chud isn’t terrible, but he’s done nothing to prove he deserves this. And after everything the Browns go through year in and year out, for this to be the hire from the ‘new regime’ is extremely disappointing. If I were a Browns fan, I’d have been excited when someone bought the team. However, upon hearing this news, I’d be ready to scrap my love for the team if they don’t surprise the hell out of me this season.

How do Browns fans stay fans? I’m really curious…it was hard for Saints fans for a while, but at least we had talented coaches in the past who just couldn’t get it done. The Browns haven’t had a talented head coach (aside from BB who wasn’t anywhere near as talented as he is now at the time). They keep hiring disappointing name after disappointing name. When is enough enough?

This is not a good hire for this organization.

Not as bad as people think it will be, especially with the news that Norv Turner will be OC.

New owner. New management Same factory.

Good luck Chud. You’ll need it. If they hire Lombardi as the GM, I’m done.

Chud is a dud. When you can’t coach in the NFL, you can always get a job here in Cleveland. And Haslam paid over a billion dollars for this team, and hands the keys to this guy?
My heart is sinking.

Looks like a poor choice. It’s too bad they didn’t interview and take a good look at Bruce Arians of the Colts. Bruce really proved himself in his interim coaching position with the Colts that he is a very good NFL Coach. Some team will be smarter and hire him.

I just want to know if Chudzinski is going to be able to dedicate enough time to coaching the team while trying to take over the Cleveland underworld and fighting Britt Reid.

Be it the color of my suit or the color of your blood, BROWN will be the last thing you see. Beware the reign of Bloodzinski!

This is a GREAT move. Chud is the next Andy Reid. That means the Clowns will lose the only SB they get to while the Steelers win two more. That’s what Eagles fans were treated to under Reid while the Giants were winning SBs.

On the positive side, it could have been Ken Whisenhunt.

Notice the pattern of coaches the Browns, Jags, and Bills keep hiring? It’s like a guy in high school bragging he’s going to get the captain cheerleader only to settle for the clarinet player from the band.
===================================

Another sad, ignorant person that’s never slept with a clarinet player. Have you ever taken a good look at a clarinet and how they hold it?

mike McCarthy was an unimpressive OC before he was hired as GBs head coach. Some guys are better fit to lead the organization. You never know how it’s going to turn out.

brownspower — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:39:32 +0000

So this is “the best of the best”?
And now we get to watch another newbie learn how to be a head coach as we rack up 4 wins a season for the next couple of years. What are these guys thinking?
The only way Haslam/Banner can top this is by making Mike Lombardi the GM…. oh wait. Never mind.

this should be and interesting fire.

The Steelers are obviously done riding the Cowher wave. That joke Tomlin will have them in the cellar for the next 5 years.

the Bengals have just finished their twice a decade “one and done” playoff appearance.

After Baltimore gets pounded by the Broncos, they can look forward to winning the division at 9-7 next year.

it’ll be nice to see Cleveland win that division with regularity starting in 2014.

Wait…Did I just see a Bills fan on here questioning this hire? Didn’t they just hire a Syracuse coach that went .500 in 4 years there, and then hired a 33 year old OC, that has absolutely no NFL Coordinator experience?

I know Marrone turned around an Orange team, if you call having two losing years turned around, but its the Big East. A weak College football division, and they played in the pinstripe bowl for sakes! Marrone didn’t even call the plays when he was with the Saints!

Atleast you can see Chidzinki’s track record as an OC in the NFL, and if they hire Turner as OC, they made a very smart pick.

Joe Banner is an egotistical douch who will be in the unemployment line with “Chud” next year at this time. Thanks, Jimmy……for nothing. Kindly go back to your truck stops in Tennessee because you are in WAY over your head in the NFL.

By: donmcg2012

donmcg2012 — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:18:16 +0000

His record says it all. Hope he enjoys his two years here in Cleveland. Very disappointed Jimmy, your era starting off terrible.

Wait a minute. Wasnt this the guy fired by then Bucs head coach Raheem Morris as OC after a few games?

Give Ski three years cause in Joe Banner you got a good football man.

Good hire by the Browns. To all the negative people posting, most of them were criticizing Sean Peyton’s selection as head coach by the Saints too. By guess here is Haslam and Banner know more than you.

In 19 years as an NFL defensive coordinator or head coach, Dick Jauron has ONE top 10 defense in yards allowed, which was Cleveland’s 10th-ranked defense in 2011. For a guy with a decent reputation, that is stunning.

By: mungman69

mungman69 — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 09:08:23 +0000

This looks like a move just to make a move. They should have kept the other coach. Oh well, Joe Banner is a good football man so who knows.

The BROWNS hired a big meaty guy named CHUD. Mr. Mackey is laughing somewhere. You just know Trey Parker and Matt Stone are writing an episode about this already. Immature, I know, but comedy in this case really does write itself.
