From what I've gathered on the Browns situation, I see John Fox landing there as head coach with Mike McCoy as offensive coordinator

The Browns love Gruden and he has some interest. But it may not be the perfect fit in terms of offensive personnel and locale

Quote:
Two NFL sources speculated that Holmgren himself would take over as coach, returning to the sideline for the first time since he left as Seattle coach following the 2008 season. It's possible that he would seek to retain defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and special teams coordinator Brad Seely.
Holmgren took a one-year sabbatical from coaching in 2009 and then was lured to the executive suite as Browns president on Jan. 5, 2010. Prior to formally accepting the job, Holmgren said in a radio interview that coaching the team was an option welcomed by owner Randy Lerner if Holmgren so desired.

Quote:
Holmgren has always called the offensive plays as head coach. Haskell could serve again as his offensive coordinator. A source said that Holmgren would have an interest in adding UCLA offensive coordinator Norm Chow, with whom he once worked at Brigham Young University. Another possibility is Miami Dolphins receivers coach Karl Dorrell, said the source

Some of the parameters of the Dolphins job change, I'm hearing Cowher not a fit there.

Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland very likely to stay there. Cowher would want bigtime salary and make sweeping changes to football ops. So, unless

Hearing people close to Cowher don't expect him to land in Miami at this point. Dolphins very well might fire Sparano, but hearing that ...

wasnt Gruden all set to be the next Browns coach?

Quote:
•John Fox: Well-respected as coach of the Carolina Panthers and as a defensive assistant coach before that with the Giants, Raiders, Chargers and Steelers. He was 78-74 in nine seasons with the Panthers, including three division championships and one appearance in the Super Bowl. His contract was not renewed by Panthers owner Jerry Richardson.


•Jon Gruden: Currently the lead ESPN "Monday Night Football" analyst, his first job in the NFL was alongside Holmgren in San Francisco as an offensive assistant with the 49ers in 1990. Gruden then followed Holmgren to Green Bay as Packers receivers coach. After a stint with the Eagles, Gruden was named head coach at Oakland and later jumped to Tampa Bay. He put the Tony Dungy-built Bucs over the top and beat his former Raiders team in the Super Bowl. In 11 seasons with Oakland and Tampa Bay, his record was 95-81.


•Marty Mornhinweg: A former high school quarterback coached by Holmgren 30 years ago, he rejoined Holmgren as an offensive assistant two years in Green Bay. He also had stints with San Francisco and currently Philadelphia. His work in refining Michael Vick's quarterback mechanics and fundamentals with the Eagles as offensive coordinator has rehabilitated his own reputation, which was tarnished by a two-year stint as Detroit head coach. Mornhinweg was 5-27 with the Lions in 2001 and '02.


•Brad Childress: Fired as Vikings coach in the middle of his fifth season, he learned Holmgren's offense working under Eagles coach Andy Reid for seven seasons, the last four as offensive coordinator. Browns GM Tom Heckert was with the Eagles during that time. His record as Vikings head coach was 40-37.


•Jim Mora: He was Steve Mariucci's defensive coordinator in San Francisco and then was hired as head coach in Atlanta. He was 26-22 in three years with one division title with the Falcons. From there he moved to Seattle, where he spent two years as Holmgren's in-house successor. Mora then went 5-11 as coach of the Seahawks and was fired. He currently works as an NFL Network analyst.


•Mike McCoy: His job as offensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos is uncertain as that team is also looking for a replacement for fired coach Josh McDaniels. McCoy, 38, played quarterback in two leagues other than the NFL and joined former 49ers coach George Seifert with Carolina in 1999. When Fox succeeded Seifert, McCoy stayed on through 2008. He then joined McDaniels in Denver.


Other LaMonte clients include: McDaniels, the Barberton native and fired Denver coach; and Mike Sherman, former Green Bay coach now coach at Texas A&M.

They'd be retarded to bring in Foxy unless he plans to keep Ryan as the DC. Otherwise just hire Gruden or Marty and let them put together an offensive staff. Ryan was not the part of the problem.

The Raiders might not keep Cable

They just went undefeated in the West and finished 8-8, their best record since 2002.

Yep, that sounds like an Al Davis move.
