CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Browns are expected to hire Jim Schwartz as their defensive coordinator.
What the Browns are doing, we have no clue. Rob Chudzinski assembled a star-studded coordinator pairing in OC Norv Turner and DC Ray Horton last offseason. Horton is one of the brighter defensive minds in the game. The Browns have told him he can seek employment elsewhere, and he'll have zero trouble landing on his feet. Schwartz worked with the Browns as a scout from 1993-1995 when Bill Belichick was the coach. Current Browns GM Mike Lombardi was also on that staff. Schwartz coordinated the Titans defense from 2001-2008. Of course, the Browns have no idea who their next head coach will be. Jan 1 - 2:16 PM

:slap:

Or perhaps they already have an agreement with their next head coach but have to adhere to the Rooney rule before they make an announcement.

Probably. But, if you're the HC... don't you want to assemble the staff?

Cleveland is whack!

 

[Angry Ram]

Factory of sadness.

I got a feeling Ray Horton will end up in Washington...

Or if it's McDaniels, do they have to wait until NE is eliminated next weekend?

See what I did there? :sly:

IMO, they know it's McDaniels. He and Lombardi are best buddies. I wish we'd hire Horton. He's a great DC.

yes, can you call fisher and tell him to get on the phone to horton?

I can try but I don't think he'll answer. :wink:

 

[PhxRam]

In all honesty, what was Waltons qualifications for the DC position?

Lombardi is assembling a core group of Belicheat disciples, so the OC and HC will come from that same corrupt coaching tree.

The same as any young coach becoming a coordinator for the first time?

 

[Mojo Ram]

No doubt. I wonder if Gregg Williams career is done...? It'd be a risky hire from a PR standpoint,but i for one would like to know if Fisher would even the explore the idea of re-hiring GW. I drool at the thought of what he could do with this front seven.

Nah. Williams is working for the Titans right now.

 

[LesBaker]

Yeah I just got his voicemail. He never picks up.

 

[jrry32]

Yeah it just got his voicemail. He never picks up.

He answered for me. But he thought I was Chinese delivery and was none too thrilled when I told him that I didn't have his egg roll and chicken lo mein.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Nah. Williams is working for the Titans right now.

But isn't that staff getting blown up?

Don't know.
