Chud and Norv is a coaching super power waiting to happen.

Pretty fucking stoked.

Not sure about Norv. Jerry Jones wants him badly to call plays so we will see how that pans out.
 
The guy who let Cam Newton do whatever he wanted for 2 full seasons gets a head coaching job........ awful, awful hire.

The guy who got Cam Newton adjusted to the NFL in one year, and then Cam went AWOL.

Chudzinski has a long line of being an innovative coach, and has been very successful as an OC.
 
Cleveland Browns hire Rob Chudzinski as head coach

CLEVELAND -- The Browns hired former Browns offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski as their 14th fulltime head coach, a source told the Plain Dealer tonight.

He's also the sixth fulltime head coach since the Browns returned in 1999.

Chudzinski, 44, who was coordinator of the Panthers, interviewed with the Browns in Cleveland on Wednesday in Cleveland. He's expected to bring former Chargers coach Norv Turner as coordinator, a source said. The two are close.


A Toledo native and lifelong Browns fan, "Chud'' joined fellow former Hurricane coach Butch Davis as tight ends coach in 2004, and served as interim offensive coordinator in 2004 after Davis resigned. Chud coached the Chargers tight ends -- including All-Pro Antonio Gates -- in 2005 and 2006, and then returned to Cleveland as offensive coordinator in 2007 under Romeo Crennel.

In his first year as Browns OC, Chud helped the Browns to a 10-6 record and No. 8 ranking on offense. Four of his offensive players went to the Pro Bowl: quarterback Derek Anderson, receiver Braylon Edwards, left tackle Joe Thomas and tight end Kellen Winslow. The following year, the Browns went 4-12, plummeted to 31st on offense and Crennel was fired.

Chudzinski returned to San Diego and served as assistant head coach/tight ends coach in 2009-10. Last season, he was named Panthers' offensive coordinator and guided rookie quarterback Cam Newton to tremendous success. Newton became the first player in NFL history to pass for 4,000 yards and rush for 500 yards in a single season. The running game was equally effective as the Panthers became the first team in NFL history to have three players with 700 or more yards in the same season.

Last offseason, Chudzinski interviewed with the Jaguars, Rams and Buccaneers for their head coach vacancies.

Details to come.​

I'm hearing from a very good source that Norv Turner is, in fact, coming with Chud to CLE.
 
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Chip Kelly to Marrone to Cowher/Gruden to post season coordinators to Chud?!?!

I love it or I will learn to love it

This calls for some pot smoking.
 
Also:

Joe Person‏@josephperson

Bet on this: Chud will take Scott Turner, Norv's son, with him. Scott, CAR off quality control coach, was Chud's right-hand man in Charlotte
