Before GB & San Fran, McCarthy was OC for the Saints. He did a great job. He made Aaron Brooks look above average.

This is the 4th team that has a coach in place before the gm is hired. You got Cleveland, Kansas City, Carolina and New York. It’s not a conventional model but Seattle did the same thing. Pete Carroll was already in place before Korn/Ferry’s interview process led to Seattle hiring John Schneider.

Mike Mcarthy was a bit of a failure as OC in San Fran before becoming the head coach for the Packers. In fact he was fired and nobody knew who he was. You just never know.

You know the old saying “Out with the old, In with the old.” Wait a minute, how does that saying go?

This is the first guy that accepted the Browns head-coaching position. The rest of the interviewees fled.

Anything Cleveland Browns related ends in ultimate failure.

*THUD*

I suppose this means Norv will be bringing 4-wides & a spread offense up there to the frozen tundra & they’ll be switching back to a 3-4 again?

Speaking as a Bengal fan, I’m delighted …

Well, there goes Trent Richardson’s Career….

Wonder how many times Chud will have T-Rich run out of the Shotgun like he did with DeAngelo and Stewart….

Chud is a RB career killer

It’s an interesting hire. Chudzinksi seems like he’s at that age, with the requisite coordinator experience, to get a shot. I really don’t know how to judge his recent work, as Cam was and still is a work in progress, but I guess it’s a positive that they got better as the season progressed. Actually, what I really potentially like about the chances of this hire working is that there seems to be a great chance that Norv Turner ends up there. Norv is still one of the best OC’s in the game, and with a stud running back like Trent Richardson, I like Norv’s chances of building a good offense there if Rob is able to get him.

I’ll be very curious what route they go with on DC. If Lovie Smith can’t find a HC gig, he would perfect there.

Eh – he’ll probably do just fine. I remember when people were wondering why the hell you would hire a special teams coach to replace Chuck Noll? But, the first 10 years of the Bill Cowher era were better for the Steelers than the last 10 of the Noll era.

Hopefully he is a good fit for them I am mildly shocked they went in this direction before they got a GM. Mel Tucker is available to return as DC LØL.

I really don’t understand this hire. I realize I don’t know anything close to what the guys in the NFL know but what the hell am I missing?

SOB. One mite think that eventually they could get it right. But this fan is really losing hope. This is horrible. And they are probably switching to the 3-4 again. Were beyond screwed!!!

Simply amazing how these moribund franchises get it wrong time after time after time. I don’t have the greatest memory but has it ever worked hiring a coach before hiring a GM? Simply points to the fact that the owner and defacto President (Banner) will have their mitts all over every decision to be made. Pity the poor shlup who gets the honor of being the next Brownie GM. My heart goes out to the great fans of Cleveland who will have to put up with this utter nonsense for years to come.

Good Luck Browns on your new hire. Hope it works out and produces more wins than in the past few years and finally a much needed Championship.

The lesson in the NFL is once again, don’t coach for a team that is going far in the playoffs, or else you’ll be left out in the cold while coaches from 4-12 and 7-9 teams will get scooped right up. The only question in this hire is will he be fired after the 2014 or 2015 season.
