    Craig, how’s Matt Flynn workin’ out over there in Seattle? Not starting over a 3rd round rookie I see… How’s RGIII doin?

    I don’t get it. What’d I say?

    Hey Craig, How does LAZY describe the Holgrem legacy?

  • Big Z

    You wrote an article back in JAN titled “For the Browns, Please Let it Be Matt Flynn.” I just wanted to remind you what an epic fail it would’ve been (in retrospect) to choose Matt Flynn over RGIII.

    Since you guys were rehashing the Holmgren era and all…

    Answers to questions for the masses:

    1) Yes, I think so. I think Haslam carries enough clout to get a guy like Gruden or even Cowher. I’d be shocked if he went with a coach with no NFL head-coaching experience.

    2)Goodyear – I think it’s northeast Ohio’s largest company? GM is another thought if they’re not too poor to do it.

    PS, that isn’t to say that I think Gruden or Cowher are the best men for the job… just that I think Haslam would like to make a splash and announce the Browns as being for real.
