McDaniels a possible option for Browns head coach

[HILife]

Mods Please merge thread. Someone beat me too it.

The Cleveland Browns are expected to start over. Again.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that coach Rob Chudzinski likely will be fired after just one season with the team, according to a Browns source. The firing could happen Sunday night, rather than Monday morning.

It's a move nobody saw coming as recently as a few days ago, when it was assumed that Chudzinski was part of a front-office plan to restore a sense of continuity to a franchise that has chewed through coaches like cotton candy since returning to the league in 1999.

Rapoport was told earlier Sunday that team brass had soured on Chudzinski down the stretch because of a lack of effort and accountability on the part of his players. A seven-game losing streak, including a 20-7 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday to cap a 4-12 season, didn't help.

NFL Media's Albert Breer believes that Penn State's Bill O'Brien and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels likely would top Cleveland's wish list as candidates to become the team's seventh head coach since '99.

He's the bad penny of NFL coaches

I'm sure changing coaches year after year will help.... I'm sure McDaniels will heal up the Browns ills....

I'll bet Chud is thrilled to get the **** out of there

McDaniels would be the kind of hire they would make for sure. Whisenhunt would be the best choice, a guy that is experienced and took the Cards to a Super Bowl, though I think the Lions would be a better fit for him.

poor Cleveland

[BroncoMan4ever]

honestly, if i had control of a bottom feeder team like the Browns, my first call to find a new coach is Marty Schottenheimer. Crap in the playoffs, but that dude can build a team.

Think we can talk McKid into trading away Joe Haden for a bag of shiny beads?

i'd take josh gordon

Considering the Brown's GM used to be a Belicheat flunky, I am not entirely surprised McDaniels would suddenly be on the Brown's radar.

And it would be a mistake, Cleveland. A huge one.

That idiot with two first round picks again.

I hope Cleveland does it for the LULZ.

Are there any slow, midget corners coming out this year?

[KipCorrington25]

Let's send them a 2nd for a 1st nobody on earth is stupid enough to accept that other than one man.
