Ted Ginn is pretty good. Actually, he was awesome last year.

Great . . . another white coach . . . 
j/k of course. This would be an outstanding hire if it pans out. From what I've read in the Cleveland blogs he may have an out in his contract due to Mangini being fired.

Well, if they get him, it looks like a very good hire to me. 
But would the Browns grant permission (or are they willing to get rid of him) and would he be willing to join the Niners staff? It is merely a vertical move, after all, which might not be as enticing to him and if the Browns wanted to keep him, they could simply deny the request, as it would not be head coaching job and it would not even be bad form, as it would not entail a promotion (as far as I know, teams can block interview requests if it is not for a head coaching job, but the usual "accepted" agreement is to grant interviews if it would include a promotion. For example, teams usually grant a position coach interviews for coordinator jobs etc.)

Eric_Branch: One more Brad Seely fun fact? OK. Seely coached for four seasons in Carolina (1995-98) with Niners OC Greg Roman.

Adam S clearly states that the 9ers are already talking to him.

Couldn't the Browns decline us an interview since it's a lateral move? Actually, it would be a demotion because he wouldn't be the assistant HC as well as ST coach.
Edit: If we are already talking to him I assume the Browns gave us permission. Not too often does a team decline an interview even if it is a lateral move. It looks bad to the rest of the league and obviously that coach could end up angry if he wanted to coach elsewhere.

I was poking around some of the beat writer blogs from Cleveland and one of the guys speculated that since Mangini brought Seeley in, there may be an out in his contract since Mangini was fired.

I'm not sure how it works, since the Browns fired their old coach, Shurmur might be letting the old staff go, just like they let Ryan go.
