[Mr. Scot]

Per Joe Person on Twitter.

Wat happened to Hue

[carolina-chuck]

Shurmur after Hue and Ken, but I think he can give us a more balance offense. Wouldn't love it but also wouldn't hate it

[Mr. Scot]

Both Shurmur and Jackson interviewed today.

I like to imagine Shurmur about to sign his contract and Gettleman shows up and slingshots him unconscious with a rock. Then chews on a cigar. Then leaves.

And he has a long beard.

I just cannot fathom how we are considering a dude whose only OC experience is a 1-15 team.

[carolina-chuck]

I'm feeling an OC hire by this evening. It will be Hue or Shurmur but knowing Chico, it'll be Shurmur by 6/7 pm today

[Salvo]

What's with this team's fascination with former Browns coaches/coordinators? Shurmur is a WCO guy...which doesn't fit this team at all.

Well then he went to an organization in Cleveland who we clearly have a lot of respect for "how they do things."

[TheRed]

Ugh. Get him out of here please.

[Guest]

Yeah, shurmur can just keep on drivn'...

[Growl]

I'm really hoping this is Rivera just trying to keep an old pal by throwing him a bone with an interview.if we hire this goober Gettleman should kick Rivera's whole crew to the curb regardless of what Fat Cat says.

Person speculates we could take a look at some assistants from the Browns staff as well.

Nolan Cromwell has a pretty good rep as a wide receiver coach (Person thinks that job belongs to Proehl) though in Cleveland he was an offensive assistant. Cromwell has coached special teams before though and was a great special teamer as a player. Honestly, he might conceivably be worth a look as a potential OC.

The guy who actually held the WR coaching duties is named Mike Wilson. He's best known for helping develop Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin in Arizona. Could be worth a look.

Browns RB coach Gary Brown interned with the Panthers in 2007. He's inexperienced but has had decent results. I remember him as a player. I think there are better options.

And of course, Panther fans should remember LB Coach Billy Davis. He was the guy that coached Salt and Pepper (not the one that Greene choked though, that was Kevin Steele). Doesn't look like he has any history with Rivera though.

The Browns also have a couple of old hands on the defensive side of the ball in Dick Jauron and Ray Rhodes. Unknown if there'd be a fit for either here except in a consultant type role (which is what Rhodes was doing in Cleveland anyway). They also have an experienced S&C coach who might be worth a look.

Familiarity.

Shurmur and Rivera worked together for five years in Philadelphia.
