NFL Playoffs Teach Us that Building Teams is Hard Work
January 23, 2012Former Indian Omar Vizquel Signs Deal With Toronto At Age 45
January 23, 2012Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal was first to report that the Cleveland Browns have hired Tim Hauck as their defensive backs coach. The Browns were left without a DB coach when Jerome Henderson bolted for Dallas a couple weeks ago. Henderson was one of the few Mangini assistants to be retained after Shurmur was brought on as head coach.
Hauck is a former NFL player and really made his mark from 1999-2001 when he played with the Philadelphia Eagles as a strong safety opposite Brian Dawkins. His coaching career has taken him from the University in Montana, to UCLA 2008, to the Tennessee Titans in 2009.
A little trivia… When Michael Irvin was famously carted off to the applause of the sometimes-brutal Philadelphia Eagles fanbase, it was Hauck who delivered the hit.

no idea what to think about this hire. he’s pretty new for the NFL (3 seasons) and the Titans are the ‘other’ team that appears good at pass defense until you start look more closely (3rd w/ 6.4YPA, but 21TDs to 11INTs). then again, Tenn struggled to generate a pass rush, so that is a factor there too.
umm, nevermind. he was not retained after 2010, so he didn’t coach Tenn in 2011 (or anywhere else that I can find). that’s a tad alarming.
When do we get an Offensive Coordinator? That seems to have been a missing position for over a year now…..
Almost for a full baker’s dozen of years.
Maurice Carthon, anyone?
He seems to have a talented young group under his wing. If they play as well as this year I’ll be satisfied. Now about that run defense…
…but, par for the Browns course, I’d say.
on defense?
Dwaine Board – DL – coaching since ’90
Bill Davis – LB – NFL since ’92 (coaching since ’90)
Dick Jauron – DC – NFL since ’85
Jerome Henderson was the baby of the group starting NFL coaching in 2006. So, we keep that coaching position as one of youth.

on offense, I agree. and, it is perhaps why it shows on the field.
Hagan – TE – career college coach except ’01-`04 and 2009 until now with us.
Gary Brown – RB – NYG 2005, ’09-present w/ us. College coach in between.
George Warhop – OL – NFL since ’95
Whipple – QB – college coach except for ’04-06 w/ Pitt, ’98 w/ Philly and last year with us.
Mike Wilson – total of 6 years of NFL coaching experience, but it’s choppy (95/96 w/ Raiders, 04-06 w/ Cardinals, 11 w/ us). I don’t know what he did from 07-10.
