Give the Schot a Shot……cause we got nothing to lose…..

One overlooked fact is that Schottenheimer seems to bring young qbs like Quinn along pretty well. With Kosar, Brees and Rivers his track record is better than most 'offensive geniuses' like Shanahan.

Hey where is Stranahan in all of this? Get him and have Marty as your GM! That is the winning combination. If Parcels comes along then woohoo, but I am not holding my breath! Browns need to start thinking things through instead of making brash decisions here. We have 2 months to look at the prospects and make a decision from there. So what are you waiting for ?????? Get Stranahan!!! Goooo…go…go…go…!!!! move it!!

Since Coward, yes I know I spelled it wrong, doesn't want to coach here or anywhere I believe Mangini would be a good fit. Without a Favre holding him down he did a good job of coaching. Pioli will want a Kings Ransome but is he worth it? I say yes! I've been a Browns fan since the late 50's and long for the good old days. Let's give our fans the chance they deserve. Please forget Shanahan. Remember who he traded for to rebuild his D-Line? Our rejects. There is a reason he is not in Denver anymore. The game has passed him by.

It is way sad that so many folks want to hire a has been like Marty. We ran the guy out of town once… and it'd happen again… but after 5 more years as the Steeler's b**ches. But what REALLY worries me is the most retarded performer of the crew… Chudzinski. I dunno who will be kept but if he's not running a dry-cleaners in Newark next year then Lerner is too stupid to be allowed to own the team.

Marty Schottenheimer would make this team competitive immediately. Bring him back!

i like the option of rich mckay as gm. if i may remind you, he was an integral part of the Buccaneers rise to being the competitive franchise they have been since the late 90's. as well, he has experience that this organization seriously lacks and needs and this moment. as for a head coach,shanahan is an intriguing option, but i do think he wouldnt be happy not having control over the personnel decisions.all the other options for coach, dont overwhelm me, but i do like the thought of spagnoulo from the giants. reason being,i believe he could turn this defense around. it has been said many times this year that this team is better suited to be a 4-3 rather than 3-4 defense, and i do believe his record speaks for itself since he has been the defensive coordinator with the giants.

Lerner is a BOOB !!!!!!!!!!! for not calling Marty

John January 2, 2009 at 12:54 pm

I would get Pioli for GM because he will have great insite from his in-law Bill Parcells and go get Mangini, Billeck or Shanahan. All these guys have HEAD COACHING experience. This is what are team needs. Of all the vacant teams I believe the Browns have the MOST Talent out there. Would be a very scary team if someone could get them to come together as ONE. NOT ME ME ME ME ME!!!!

Who cares? The Browns SUCK whoever they get. Never been to a Super Bowl in history of franchise! SUCK

1. shanahan – yes he has not won since elway rode off into the sunset but he's still been to the mountain top more than the brown's entire organization and the rest of the guys on this list have been combined! and his running schemes will work well in on the frozen tundra on the shores of lake eire on a cold december day.
2. cower(d) – if the only reason that he doesn't want to coach in cleveland is out of respect to pittsburgh, that's just dumb. if he wants to spend more time with his family then that's smart, only time will tell where his real loyalties lie.
3. marty – never won the big one but he's not the one who fumbled the ball on the goal line – that was ernest byner – and yes elway drove the length of the field but we weren't the only one's he did that on, the fact is that marty has won everywhere he has gone and cleveland, kansas city and san diego have the same number of championships after he left – zero. maybe the problem wasn;t all marty huh.
4. man-genius – will he have the same success in his second gig as his mentor did? i doubt it but the experience certainly helps. still he's below .500 and that's with an 8-3 start this year. i have my doubts but if 1-2-3 are gone its probably better than the coordinator route.
5. spagnuolo/swartz – which is not to say that this can't work but if you go this way, give chud the offensive to lead and let one of these manage the defense, still we don't have anywhere close to the talent in n.y. or tenn. that's where the gm has his work cut out for him.

MARTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

idontgetit January 2, 2009 at 10:13 pm

MARTY??????????????? You guys need to start an old farts league. You embarrass yourselves whining and begging for a guy who quit on you before and has no desire to come here and coach. If you want him so bad, he will come if you have enough money. You all need to get together and see how much you can come up with and quit trying to spend Lerners money on a washed up has been. He left the Browns branded as chokers in the big games. Let it go.

Oscar Madison January 2, 2009 at 10:45 pm

If we can get him we need Marty back!

Craig January 3, 2009 at 3:01 pm

GO BROWNS!!!!!!!!!!!
