Well then, I guess I'll take the time to formally withdraw my name from consideration as well...I think they've withdrawn from consideration too
Browns
• Fox Sports: ”Cardinals DC Todd Bowles has told the Browns to withdraw his name from their list of HC candidates, source tells FOX Sports 1.”
• Denver Post: ”According to two NFL sources, the Browns are waiting on first-year Denver offensive coordinator [Adam Gase] to become available for an interview before they hire a head coach. The Cleveland Plain Dealer also reported Monday that Gase could be the Browns’ top target.”
This whole thing has the chance to massively implode. I'll give them mild credit for identifying their guy and not settling for stiffs like Detroit and Washington. They're going for their own potential stiff.
I tend to agree. People are making a big deal of some guys withdrawing. But guess what, if the Browns hired any of those guys the fans would have went balistic. So are they withdrawing? Or the Browns have told them they are not interested, and to save face they are "withdrawing". Really the only name that withrew that hurt was McDaniels.
So the Browns want Gase... and hopefully the interview Roman too. I have no problem with them willing wait on WINNING cordinators to finish their season. It isn't like you get a blue ribbon if you hire your head coach the fastest. Take your time and get it right this time!!!
Nope, what the Browns need is to win. I don't care who does it. Winning will lead to stability and getting rid of the toxic atmosphere.
And guess what, the best way to find the guy (now) is to go after the "hope this coordinator is a good head man" scenario. Who else is out there? Besides a college head coach, I don't see a stable NFL head coach out there that is available.

One of THE classic sports moments in Cleveland radio history this morning. Since Gase is apparently their frontrunner, considering they've let all these other guys take other jobs and they insist they're waiting to interview him, the Fan had a Denver beat reporter from their sister station on to talk about him, expecting that they were going to here a lot of puff and have to wade through the bull[Mark May] to decipher what the guy was really saying. The interview lasted almost 10 minutes...after about 7, the interviewers started getting agitated, not at the guy, but at what they were hearing . Among the "highlights" are (and I am transposing from what I remember, so this is paraphrasing, but it is close):
Q: "So then did Gase call the plays for Denver's record-setting offense this year?"
A: "No, he gave Peyton certain 'concepts' and Peyton called the plays."
Q: "Well did he at least assert his authority in some way and overrule Peyton? Say we can't do it this way, we need to do it that way?"
A: "To my knowledge, that never happened."
Q: "So what do the people in Denver say about this guy then?"
A: "Most of the people I talked to in the complex aren't sure he's at all ready to be a head coach anywhere."
and at the end, when they were clearly agitated...
Q: "Why in the world do we want this guy here?"
A: (after a period of awkward silence) "Because he's a young, exciting coaching candidate that..."
Q: "What the hell is so exciting about him?"
A: "I have no idea."
