  1. So Tony Grossi knows this for a fact? I dont think we know these request to be fact yet. Havent heard anything from anything from Mary Kay or any of other Browns beat reporters. Or Sheftie or Rappaport. Its not like Tony has any inside scoop of this information.

  4. As a 40-year Browns backer, I'm totally sour on Harbaugh! St Nick is my choice. He's worked with Schwartz and Reese previously and he was in Cleveland with Belichick before the team left for Baltimore. So check the boxes on continuity and history. Then there's the Deion connection. So he would come out of retirement to take the job. I think he could be convinced because it's not a total rebuild. The GM and ownership need to stay out of on-field football decisions. If Berry and ownership can show a 2-year path to a Superbowl Saban just may be convinced. Because he wouldn't be in to this job for the long haul he would likely groom a successor. That's the winning culture we need and would give Saban that Jimmy Johnson legacy of both collegiate and pro success!

  6. Just stop with the Harbaugh BS…he's a smart man & has no intentions of going to a crappy team with zero chance of competing, no talent…there's no future for the Browns anytime soon

  7. Harbaugh will be the coach, and he will let Sheduer be Sheduer. Sheduer will be the starter period… Harbaugh pushes Balamore to pick Shedeur as the backup to Jackson. But Sheduur said no

  13. ngl, id do it… lol whats the worse thing that can happen? he trades baker mayfield away? trades for desawn watson for 2 1st round picks, 200 mill guarantee contract, drafts 2 QBs in a single draft. runs a RB into the ground? trades for a WR from the Broncos who cant catch a 500 mile wide football? in 6 years drafted 3 players who lasted 3 years on the team? 1 of the 3 lasted 4 years.. ignored 2 top 5 O LINEMEN in the league during drafts.. yeah same same, but different.

  14. I'm beginning to see I have a high football acumen. Andrew Berry, for all his Hahvahd pedigree, wouldn't know coaching talent if it smacked him I the face. How many super bowls do you think Curt Cignetti, that's right Indiana's Curt Cignetti, have in him? John Harbaugh has 1, that's right ONE in 18 years and everybody wants Harbaugh. Then you bring in Cignetti's Mendoza. I'm going to say at least 5. and that is why Cignetti would be
    A shrewd move. He's younger, brilliant football IQ and obviously knows how to build a championship team. GE's Jack Welch said a great leader has to have the vision to see around corners. This is why the Browns are forever struggling. No vision. Cignetti would bring their first Super Bowl and first championship since 1964.
