It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Peter King tweeted tonight that he will be surprised if Josh leaves this offseason and a week ago he said (on TV, no link) that McDaniels is having more fun coaching this year than he ever has and didn't expect him to leave back then either.
The fact that Bill never tapped Lombardi including when Pioli moved on and he felt the need for some veteran presence in the FO (and that post went to Floyd) tells me while he may like Mike he doesn't see the off the air analyst as a potential franchise contributor. Lombardi has been jonesing for a FO career lifeline for several seasons now and BB never threw him one.
Wanting a fresh approach means not hiring a coach looking for a second chance such as New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who had been linked to Cleveland as a potential head coaching candidate but is not expected to be a candidate.
I'm sure there will be a lot of McDaniel talk for every job, but nothing is going to come of it. He's not going anywhere, and won't for a couple of years.
BTW- I thought the Browns played competitively and hard for Shurmer that he deserved another year. Christ Rex is going to get another year, why not Shurmer. The Browns weren't good team, but they weren't a national joke.
I don't get all the HC talk right now. The guy was a failure as a HC.
As NFL owners and executives revisit the success of college coaches at the pro level, Penn State's Bill O'Brien may be on more short lists than Oregon's Chip Kelly and that would include the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles, according to league sources.
