With 11 quarterbacks on a pace to pass for more than 4,000 yards, it's pretty clear that the passing game has become more important than a running offense. Sure, it helps to have the balance of the New Orleans Saints, who have Drew Brees' passing backed by the No. 5 running offense. But the rules encourage passing, and to win consistently, teams need a quarterback who can throw for 225 to 250 yards a week and put up at least 22 points. For what it's worth, none of the top four rushing teams have winning records.
Saw this on ESPN,how/or does this effect your list of HC candidates?
It means that we should hire the qb coach from Seattle and install the WCO...oh, wait...

Would you not love to take a run at Peyton Manning for QB coach when he retires?
QB coach? I'd take him as a head coach!

Has he ever even been an offensive coordinator, has he called plays? Who's to say Grimm would be a good head coach? I've got no problem with taking someone who hasn't been head coach, but I don't want another staff brought here without anyone with experiencing calling plays on offense. So if we bring Grimm in as HC, I hope someone like Bratkowski comes along as OC
I agree with you about Grimm as HC. I just dont get it. Its like some fans love him as a player, know he's been a O-line coach on some superbowl teams and think he's qualified to be our head coach. In my opinion, he's done nothing to prove he'd be better at the job than Zorn. Now, id consider him as an OC, but thats about it. We need an experienced coach right now. The team needs it. After the Zorn debacle, the players need someone they can respect.

If we win some games and finish around .500 you may be right. Its hard to say but for VC to go we would have to lose most of our games we have left.

They have indeed gotten much closer over the years. Snyder reached out to Marty when his son was diagnosed with cancer to give him access to the same doctors and the Mayo clinic that he used when he went thru the same thing.
Back OT, I would be very happy with the following set-up:
President of Football Operations-Floyd Reese
General Manager-Phil Savage
Director of Pro Personnel-George Kokinis
HC-Whomever Reese and Savage decide upon!
Phil Savage was the GM in Cleveland for more than a couple of years and assembled most of the "talent" there. He drafted Brady Quinn; he signed Derek Anderson to a long tem deal and kept the two QBs on the same roster. He drafted Braylon Edwards.
The Browns brought in Kokinis to Cleveland this year and have already fired him - - looking for a reason to fire him "for cause" so they don't have to pay him.
And that is your "dream team" to come in here and fix up the place? Wow...

I can see Zorn staying, Cerrato demoted to something like GM assistant, and Holmgren brought in as GM. It almost makes too much sense.

This does seem to make since of bring in Holmgren to be the next GM. Zorn has 2 years left on his contract so maybe Synder keeps him if the team continues to show improvement and win 5 to 6 more games this year. I think they would keep Sherm Lewis as play caller and if Zorn would agree with it than if not Zorn is gone. If Zorn goes I see John Gruden coming in as Head Coach and Vinny stays as the GM.

I have a sinking feeling that VC will be here next yr which means we are screwed
