I like Heckert. Don't wanna see him go. But I don't care as long as the next guy continues things in the direction they've been going.

Probably not. Known as the Turdo move.

I bet none of the names that have been mentioned will be a Browns HC. I think we will get somebody we did not expect at all, just like Shurmur, except hopefully he isn't an ass clown.

I think McDaniels will have success in his next job. He made alot if mistakes in his first but part of it was having too much power. You're doing something right when the Hoodie wants you back immediately.

One more log to throw on the fire: those two initial sources said that if Lombardi and McDaniels indeed team up in Cleveland, the chances are good that they will attempt to trade for Patriots backup quarterback Ryan Mallett and install him as the franchise quarterback. Brandon Weeden would be out, or in a backup role.

Remember the last back up Pats QB that was traded to be starting QB? Yikes.

I don't see Mallet being any worse than Weeden but I don't think his ceiling is much higher.

I was waiting for the first person to say this. There are more coaches who have failed their 2nd time around than not.

Yeah. If he was coming in to do what he did in Philly (cap/numbers guy) I would feel much better about him. Sadly he seems hell bent on making football decisions because I think he was jealous he was never given the recognition in Philly he thought he deserved for their success- largely because he wasn't in on the personnel decisions for the most part.

Iggy is already worried, you don't need to worry him any further.

Im actually a fan of Mallet. Say the scenario did happen, at least he would be in the same system that he has shown potential in. Unlike Cassel who went to into a new system.

Unless mallett is a very different player now than he was at Arkansas, then he basically is weeden. Big arm, questionable decisions, no mobility, accuracy issues.

I'm down with mcdaniels though, as I said a few weeks back. Really want an offensive coach with some pedigree.

At least McDaniels would open up the play book more and actually have Weeden in the shotgun(assuming he's still here next year) but that's how Weeden and Mallet were sucessful in college...by passing out of the gun. And have sets of Gordon, Little, Benjamin, Cameron and whoever else at the wr slot and with T Rich in the backfield. It would be nice to turn Benjamin into a guy like Wes Welker...someone we can throw screens for and get him mismatched on slower defenders. I would think that in the draft we would be targeting a guy like Milliner from Bama or a LB. But I really think we need to pair Haden with a younger soon to be "stud" because Brown and Skrine wont get it done. We should be looking into safeties also...Ward's a good SS but not so good in coverage and he gets injured quite a bit.

Hmm...

Looks like another one of those "coach leaves town one step ahead of NCAA investigators" stories. You know, like "why in the world would Pete Carroll leave USC, where he was king of the state?" all over again. Let's say Kelly decides it's time for him to give the NFL a try. I wonder if Goodell would suspend Kelly if it is determined that Oregon was cheating. We all know he set the precedent.
