Next Browns Head Coach Odds

If the Browns get to have their way early, then it will be the under, but I highly doubt that happens. Spread: Chiefs by 10 points Another Kansas City Chiefs game, another double digit spread. Now is the time to start thinking about how to approach next season and if you are a Cleveland Browns fan, the 25-1 odds look like an insane deal. With an actual off-season with their young head coach and Odell Beckham returning, giving Cleveland only the 13th-best odds after the season they have had and winning a playoff game, seems ludicrous.

A top assistant coach for the Green Bay Packers’ record-setting offense is getting some head-coaching interest. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett has a virtual interview with the Atlanta Falcons for their head-coach opening.

The Philadelphia Eagles are close to finding a replacement for Doug Pederson, as the NFL Network’s trio of Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported Thursday that the Eagles have zeroed in on Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni as their next head coach.

The deal still needs to be finalized, but Sirianni is the guy.

Here are five takeaways from the deal.

Eagles get closest thing to Frank Reich

Philadelphia couldn’t bring Reich back from the Colts, so they hired the closest thing to him in Sirianni.

Sirianni helped build the offense in Indianapolis and he knows how to call plays based on his quarterbacks’ strengths.

You’d have to believe that the opportunity to coach Carson Wentz was a huge reason for him accepting.

Eagles still all-in on Carson Wentz

The Eagles have said all the right things about Wentz and they went out and acquired a coach who should be able to get the best out of their franchise signal-caller.

Sirianni has a presence about himself and we’ll find out really quickly his thoughts on Wentz.

Sirianni has worked with quarterbacks

Sirianni has coached both Andrew Luck and Philip Rivers.

A year after missing the entire 2017 season, Sirianni helped Luck toss 39 touchdowns and with a career-high 98.7 passer rating. Rivers was efficient with Sirianni and the new coach should build the offense around what Carson Wentz does best.

Was Eagles job attractive?

The Eagles interviewed a wide range of candidates and the question has to be asked, did Philadelphia choose ‘their’ guy or did Jeffrey Lurie get the best candidate available at the time.

Sirianni’s interviewed span more than one day and it’s possible that the young vibrant offensive mind blew the Eagles away.

Duce Staley and Eric Bieniemy continue to wait

It’s unknown if Staley will want or have a place on Sirianni’s staff and it becomes another year where two of the NFL’s top motivators and black assistant coaches get passed over for the next big thing.

Staley’s never called plays, so that process is understandable, but Bieniemy either declined an interview or the Eagles were unwilling to wait for the Chiefs star play-caller.

It sounds like Christopher Johnson is putting all his faith in Joe Douglas to shape the future of the Jets.

The general manager will run the search for the next head coach, according to The Athletic’s Connor Hughes, after the team fired Adam Gase on Sunday night. Johnson will have the final say in the hire, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, and team president Hymie Elhai will assist in the search, but it appears that Douglas’ football acumen will carry the most weight.

This is unequivocally the correct move, and one the organization failed to make in its previous head-coaching searches. The Johnson family utilized search firms and endorsements from other big names in the league to pick the past two head coaches, neither of which worked out well.

The Jets hired former general managers Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf in 2015, who hand-picked Mike Maccagnan for the open general manager job. That led to the hiring of Todd Bowles, who went 24-40 in four seasons with the Jets. Johnson kept Maccagan after firing Bowles in 2018, and the two chose Gase after a late phone call from Peyton Manning reportedly sealed the deal. We all know how that ended.

It looks like Johnson finally learned from the franchise’s past mistakes. Douglas, who has vast experience in two of the most successful franchises in recent memory – the Eagles and the Ravens – will spearhead the search for his coach for potentially the next four years. He’ll have a lot of talented people to choose from at the professional and collegiate ranks, including Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy, Colts DC Matt Eberflus, Ravens DC Wink Martindale, Titans OC Arthur Smith, Iowa State’s Matt Campbell and others, according to NFL Network.

Douglas will likely cast a wide net for the next head coach, though, and should take his time to find Gase’s replacement considering how he’s built the team heading into 2021. Douglas doesn’t have any experience picking coaches – he was a talent evaluator in Baltimore, Chicago and Philadelphia – but he’s likely made a lot of great connections over his long career in the league.

There are a couple of great candidates with ties to Douglas, but the Jets aren’t the only team on the hunt for a new head coach. The Falcons, Lions and Texans already need a head coach, and the Jaguars will likely become the next team soon.

The key to Douglas’s search will be pitching the job to potential candidates. Fortunately, Douglas set the team up for future success with a couple of savvy moves this past offseason. Not only do the Jets possess the second overall pick in this year’s draft, but they’ll also have six picks in the first 100 selections in 2021, four in the first three rounds in 2022 and more than $72 million in cap space this offseason. That’s an enviable job for a potential hire.

Whomever Douglas picks will have a connection to the GM the past three head coach never had. Gase, Bowles and Rex Ryan were all arranged marriages with their respective general managers. Only Ryan enjoyed relative success, and that lasted just two seasons. That won’t be the case this time. While Johnson will still have some level of say in the hiring, Douglas should still lead the search and should effectively make the final call after all the vetting and interviews.

This is an important step for the Jets. It shows the team is willing to break from its old mold to build a better franchise. It also shows Johnson trusts Douglas and understands his vision in spite of the Jets’ 9-22 record under the GM’s direction. There were a lot of mistakes made by the previous regimes of Maccagnan and John Idzik, and Douglas has tried hard to dismantle what they did the past two offseasons with frugal offseason spending and shedding players with bad contracts or trading them acquire draft capital.
