Well I forgot to start a "coaches fired" thread this offseason so it looks like we're starting with the hirings. Namely, the Browns.
It looks like they're in love with Chip Kelly and also that they're willing to back up the Brinks truck to get him. Definitely a swing for the fences from the new ownership.
Amazingly, this might mean that Colt McCoy is once again their starter in week 1 next year.
The downside is that it looks like Mike Lombardi will indeed be the GM. I've already voiced my displeasure at that choice. Other than coming up with cute little analogies, it's not clear he has discernible GM skill. We'll see. He's been poor at his previous spots evaluating talent (Oakland, Cleveland).
Last time the Browns dipped into the college ranks they came up with Butch Davis. While Butch Davis is terrible, he did take them to their only playoffs since The Return.

Which guest was it who said if all the QBs were getting into a car, they would toss the keys to Sanchez.? This person used this a justification for taking Sanchez over the other QBs in the draft. It was one of the dumber things I had heard. It was either Lombardi or Dilfer, I don't remember.

Now Chip Kelly is going to Philly. Awesome. Can wait for Doug Marrone. Who is Doug Marrone?

Zimmer wouldn't be a bad choice, though. I never liked Dallas losing him.

I'd prefer Zimmer over Chud. But it's hard to know how good a head coach he'd be. Chud would be last on my list of candidates. I'd even prefer that coach from the CFL they interviewed. (yes, they interviewed a CFL coach)

Has any other team ever interviewed a CFL coach?

2nd interview with Wisenhunt. He's actually probably my top choice, even more than Chip Kelly when he was pretending to want to be an NFL coach.

This article was written before the 2012 season. Worth noting that in his first year of OC'ing in Cleveland the Browns' offense was explosive... then the next year happened.
