Chudzinski will have roster control, may call plays himself

[Mr. Scot]

From Mary Kay Cabot...

Browns' Banner on Chud's role in personnel decisions: "He won't just be involved, he'll dictate that.''

Also says it's undecided whether he'll hire an offensive coordinator or call plays himself.

Chud will decide if he or OC will call plays. Will have shared final say on 53-man roster w/ others.

And despite previous reports that he'd have a 3-4 defense, Chudzinski says he'll let whomever he hires as DC dictate what the base alignment is to be.

Chud said he'll play an attacking-style defense. As for 3-4 or 4-3, it will depend on coordinator and could go either way.

So Norv decided to go be a silent partner or something? The hell?

[KillerKat]

lmao. The Browns are so fuged.

[Sloth]

The Browns are really gambling with this.

Also WTH is Norv going to do, coach up the TEs?

In other words it depends if someone else is willing to pay Norv more than Cleveland.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

it really sounds like Chud doesn't know what he's doing so far. Just being honest

[Mr. Scot]

Regarding Norv, this from Cabot...

It's possible #Browns new coach Rob Chudzinksi will bring Norv Turner in as OC, source says. They're v. close.

So despite previous speculation, it's not a done deal.

[Growl]

Cleveland has got to be the worst run franchise in professional sports. I feel horrible for their fanbase.

[rayzor]

basically norv would either be here and control the O or go there and be a stooge.

[Mr. Scot]

This info is culled from Chud's press conference today, by the way.

He talked a lot about how coaching the Browns was his dream come true.

[Dpantherman]

Anymore stupid questions as to why he left? Who's turning that down?

As for the Browns...good luck.

[Mr. Scot]

And yes, Chudzinski expressed gratitude to Ron Rivera and the Panthers organization.

[KillerKat]

He should be thanking Cam and showering him with gifts for giving him that job.

[Marguide]

If Norv chooses Cleveland over Carolina, as it sounds he has, it can only be for several reasons:

1) $

2) Maybe he's not as close with Rivera as we thought

3) And most likely in my opinion, he doesn't want to be dismissed with the rest of the staff next offseason
