Doesn't sound like a guy who'd be cool with relinquishing play-calling to the HC.

I guess I can see the thinking behind that, but it’s weird that it’s part of their decision making process at all. Who cares what the media thinks? I’m sure they can have a successful press conference regardless of whether the staff is in place yet or not.I heard some insider being interviewed on 92.3 yesterday saying that someone with the organization mentioned to him that they wanted to introduce Freddie with his staff so that the questions about "is he ready to be a HC" could be more easily addressed by pointing to the guys in the team around him.
If they plan to move very quickly on his staff--namely at DC and OC--then I suppose he wouldn't have to take questions on his staff by merely waiting a few days. It makes sense.I guess I can see the thinking behind that, but it’s weird that it’s part of their decision making process at all. Who cares what the media thinks?

Probably not but coming here might be his best shot of getting a head coach job next year.
This basically describes Ryan Lindley, right?Which begs the question...how interested should we be in hiring an OC who probably will be gone next year?
I'm almost thinking I'd rather go in a completely different direction. A young guy, maybe a position coach somewhere, looking for his first shot as an OC. So he won't be expecting to call plays, and Freddie can show him "his way". You then develop that guy in-house to the point where he's calling plays in a few years. That lets Freddie have his system ingrained in the players/franchise, and the players don't have to get used to their 4th different coordinator in 3 years.
You get the experienced dude as the DC.

I don’t see why that’s important, personally.
Last I heard, the reason the Browns haven’t announced the hire or scheduled a presser is because they’re still negotiating Freddie’s contract. That makes more sense as the holdup.
