A Cardinals sportswriter says he hears Mike Mcarthy will be the next head coach of the Browns.

He has an interview with them tomorrow I think, wonder if they let him leave the building without a contract 

[Team archer]

I cant wait till we hire someone that the fanbase hates. Forum should be very lively

[The Walrus]

Have to say, this beats the draft and waiting for months to know your fate.

I'm very very concerned we're going to get someone vanilla.

[Pac]

Whoever the next HC is make Greg Williams one of the highest paid DC's in the league.

[BroadwayRay]

I believe it.

Who ever gets hired will be hated... jets fans would find a reason to hate the hiring of Vince Lombardi 

[Jet Life]

Great hire for them if true

[peekskill68]

You can see the handwriting on the wall with Macc being retained.  We're going the hot young coordinator or college route.  Watch...

[14 in Green]

Their fans love what Williams and Kitchens have done. They’re gonna be very upset with a McCarthy hiring. I’m surprised he’s considering a job where he’d be the fans 3rd choice at best, and probably have to keep 1and 2 on his staff.

[Grandy]

I'm surprised they're moving on from Williams/Kitchens without hesitation. I'd seriously consider retaining them with the team doing a 180 since taking over.

[Gastineau Lives]

But we're the best destination

This.

Whoever the next HC is we need to staff up with A type coordinators and position coaches.  No more finding guys in the mountains.

If I'm Gregg Williams with the job he's done this season and the Browns bring in McCarthy as Head Coach there's no way I'm staying to be a coordinator anymore.

EDIT:  One more thought.  Williams coached D in New Orleans under Sean Payton.  He was the "bounty gate" coach.  Were Williams and Carmichael there together???  THAT would be interesting.  The Jets hire Pete Carmichael as HC and he brings in Gregg Williams to run the D.

It'll be funny when McCarthy doesn't even give us an interview.

Jim Caldwell HC of the NYJ

[The Crimson King]

So if you are McCarthy, do you choose Cleveland and it's roster and media or the Jets with its roster and media?

NY media are mostly jerks, idiots and s*** stirrers (did you listen to the post game interviews today?). It would be illogical not to think that this works against the Jets

Dorsey doesn’t give a sh*t what the fans or the media thinks. Him picking Mayfield No. 1 was an example of this. He seems to just go with what he thinks are the best people.

Might be some teams waiting to see how the situation plays out with their eye on Williams.

If he does, it would only be to get more money from the Browns.

My money is on Todd Haley.  I mean he's only had 3 player revolts on teams he's coached.

Lombardi doesn't pass enough for the league today. I wouldn't want him either.

Jets call Mike McCarthy's house.  His wife answers, "Sorry, Mike can't come to the phone right now.  He's sitting in the living room talking to Jim Harbaugh about how neither one of them will be interviewing with the Jets."

[dbatesman]

Hard to believe he’d turn down the chance to work with Mike Maccagnan.

His loss. He’ll never experience the genius that is Big Mac.

That would be my favourite scenario to be honest.

Yeah.  It just kind of occurred to me that there could be a connection.  Some people here have talked about Carmichael as a favorite.  He'd definitely check the box for offense and he's very experienced (9 years as OC in New Orleans).  Along with Gregg Williams that would be a dynamite tandem in my opinion.

[choon328]

One thing you're all forgetting is that the Browns have probably secretly interviewed their minority candidate already since they fired Hue Jackson during the season like the Jets should have done with Bowles. They're way ahead of the game. McCarthy interviewing with the Browns has nothing to do with Macc. The Jets are probably just now putting a list of Coaches together. Way behind the 8 ball.

They should interview hugh Jackson as their minority candidate.   ?

Im a Shanahan guy, but this combo sounds pretty damn good to me. Definitely the best idea about a coaching hire I’ve heard on this site. ?

Neither of those things is likely true. The Browns would have to make the interview public knowledge due to the ROnney Rule. If you think the Jets were somehow hamstrung and couldn't put together a list prior to today then you are just being silly.  The jets retaining Bowles was a positive to any coach considering the job, and they made their list a month ago. 

[TRUE GREEN]

I believe that.  With Dorsey being the GM ... Makes sense.

Well, most of the posters here are pretty pessimistic so whomever we end up hiring will be bashed.
