The Browns’ GM search is underway. On Tuesday, the Browns fired John Dorsey (or, mutually agreed to part ways with the veteran exec, depending on who you ask).
Before that, the Browns axed first-year head coach Freddie Kitchens. After that, the Browns wasted little time in requesting interviews. Here’s the latest on the names being considered for the job:
- 49ers’ run game coordinator Mike McDaniel is likely to interview with the Browns, a source tells ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). No date has been set yet, but McDaniel figures to be one of three SF coaches to get a look. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and passing-game coordinator Mike LaFleur will also reportedly be interviewed this weekend.
- In addition to that Niners trio, the Browns have also requested an interview with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy, as Schefter tweets. It’s shaping up to be a busy bye week for Bienemy, who has also drawn interest from the Panthers and Giants.
What a disaster…Dorsey put a solid product on the field, they need to buckle down and hire a well respected HC that can quickly turn them around…maybe hire a numbers guy as GM so that said HC could tinker with the roster to his own liking…the names above strike me as more of 2 season bandaid type hires to me…you’re not going to get lucky and hire the next future hall of fame head coach to his first gig very often
band aid…recent former andy Reid’s assistants are not doing too bad..Doug Pederson super bowl champ 2 years ago…last year Matt Nagy takes bears to playoffs…but definitely just a band aid
Well there is always an anomaly but are any of those coaches you mentioned clearly on their way to HOF careers yet? What I’m saying is that the Browns aren’t really in a position to gamble and hope they catch lightning in a bottle, they need a battle tested field general that can right their ship in a hurry
Not sure with Paul Deposesta on board that any real GM is going to want to be part of that dumpster fire. Short of Kitchens, Dorsey did a great job accumulating talent. Unless they get a coach/GM package deal a la McDaniels and Caserio, it’s going to be another cycle of this in two years.
Maybe bill cowherd or someone who could be a HC and GM
