Will There Be A New Coach In Cleveland?

Cleveland Browns, Football, NFL, Sports

By Blaidd Drwg

Seneca Wallace on the possibility of Mike Holmgren returning to coaching:

“I kind of do just because things probably haven’t turned out the way he wanted on offense and being an offensive guy, I think he still has that itch to come back to coach,”

If Mike Holmgren really wants to coach again, and I always did believe that he had every intention of eventually making himself head coach of the Browns when he took the President of Football Operations job with them, he is going to do it.

Holmgren and Mangini have a meeting about the future of the Cleveland Browns on Monday. I would be willing to bet the mortgage payment that Mike Mangini is out of a job by the end of a week (especially in light of the thrashing that the Browns took this week) and Holmgren becomes head coach sometime in the next few weeks, right after the Browns pretend to interview a couple of candidates.

–UPDATED 3:20 PM – it didn’t even take to the end of the week – Mangini is out of a job.

  2. I think that they give Colt next season to determine if he is the QB of the future. The Browns have too many needs to take another QB in the first round. The problem that you have is 3 of those 6 games he started against playoff teams were against the Steelers and Ravens who they will have to play twice every year and they both made him look bad since they had a scouting report on him.

  3. To be fair, Pittsburgh and Baltimore ranked #1 and #3 respectively in scoring defense this year.

    Also:
    #2 and #9 in Opponents YPA.

    #5 and #8 in Interceptions.

    #3 and #12 in passing TDs allowed.

    #2 and #5 in Passer Rating against.

    Those are a couple of tough defenses. They make pretty much everbody look bad.

    Cleveland needs a few more pieces on offense before they’re going to be able to compete, regardless of who’s at the controls.

  4. Cleveland has needed a few more pieces on offense to be able to compete since they came back into the league. The have not ranked higher than 26th in total offense with the exception of the year they went 10-6 a few years ago since they became the Browns again. The probably aren’t any better than 6-10 next season, even with a full year of your man crush Coltrane.

  5. 6-10 is probably about right. Figure 4 nearly automatic losses to Baltimore and Pittsburgh. That would make Cleveland 6-6 in the other games.

    The upper window is maybe 7 wins, the lower window is 4 or 5 wins.
