Bruce Arians? Ken Whisenhunt? Cleveland Browns Coaching Search Revamped

With Chip Kelly off the board, where will Jimmy Haslam and Joe Banner go next?

Around this time last week, I wasn't very high on Chip Kelly becoming the Cleveland Browns next head coach. Yet somehow I spent too many moments of my weekend checking Twitter and ESPN to see if Kelly chose mashed or baked potatoes for his steak dinners with the Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.

Still, it didn't seem like Shurmer was a good fit for the team and the city. And his putrid play-calling didn't help him much.  Let's be real here: If you have eight yards for a first down, don't throw a two-yard crossing route! Alas, Browns fans are looking to the future, yet again…
