Re: OT - Browns to fire Pat Shurmur after tomorrow's game.
Saban ain't leaving Bama. He's making five million a year, T-Town loves him, and most importantly his wife says that's where they're staying.

Re: OT - Browns to fire Pat Shurmur after tomorrow's game.
Mike Zimmer as next head coach?
All his career he's taken fairly average units and improved them
I remember him on Hard Knocks with theCowboys
Bengals are doing very well right now. Credit due
He interviewed for the Bucs and Dolphins jobs so he wants to step up somewhere.
Things are looking up in Cleveland, sounds strange to say that but they had some young talent on that roster

Re: OT - Browns to fire Pat Shurmur after tomorrow's game.
I recently read a column that said Saban's wife did not enjoy the NFL lifestyle. I don't know if this will factor into Saban's decision, should the Browns reach out, but I doubt he leaves Tuscaloosa. He's already had a statue erected in his honor, and is practically a deity in that community.
As for Shurmur, I agree that he will be on the short list of potential offensive coordinators for next season given his history with Harbs, although something tells me that if we do well offensively in the playoffs, Caldwell will be retained.

Re: OT - Browns to fire Pat Shurmur after tomorrow's game.
Cincy could very well lose BOTH assistants this year. Zimmer has been a HC candidate for a few years now. Gruden's name is pretty hot because of AJ Green and Dalton. I'd say Gruden's stock is even HIGHER than Zimmer's right now because he's a young exciting coach.
Of course, knowing our luck, both will say "they just want to help the Bengals win" and turn it down like Phillips did last year for Houston..

Unless we make it to NOLA, I don't see Caldwell being the OC.
Shurmur peeks my interest but not as much as Norv.

Re: OT - Browns to fire Pat Shurmur after tomorrow's game.
Norv seems to be a hot name for OC for a lot of teams. The Jets fans are all convinced that Woody Johnson is going to pay him big money and force Rex to take him if he wants to keep his job. I've also heard his name for the Bears and the Panthers.
I honestly believe that Flacco could really benefit from a west coast system. It would force him to make quicker decisions and give him more options in the passing game. Shurmur makes a lot of sense if they go that direction. Plus he passes the Harbaugh relationship test.

Re: OT - Browns to fire Pat Shurmur after tomorrow's game.
The "Harbaugh relationship" barometer goes both ways, you know?
Recently interviewed, Norv said he would go to a place as coordinator where 1) he could win and 2) "be in a situation that there are coaches I've worked with and been around."
So, even if Harbaugh might want Norv, Norv might pass because HE has no ties to Harbaugh.
But yeah, let's continue to mock Harbaugh's system of picking coaches who he's familiar with, because obviously he's the only one. (This isn't a dig at you GOTA, just a dig at everyone who constantly jumps on Harbaugh for "hiring his buddies". Basically, EVERY coach has a preference to hire people they know from previous work)..

Good point RS.
It's such an exclusive job set that every coach hires his buds in some capacity.
Yet Harbs gets a bad rap? Awfully silly, IMO.

The loyalty meme is so overblown. So many coaches know each other because its a small community.

Re: OT - Browns to fire Pat Shurmur after tomorrow's game.
Guys, hate to burst your Norv to Baltimore bubble, but the great Jamison Hensley called Norv becoming our offensive coordinator a "pipe dream". Jamison knows all, so I think we should discuss other candidates.
