Classic Browns. We have a consensus on the board in favor of Zimmer; Whisenhunt will be hired and hysteria will ensue.

Makes sense. They've done a fair amount of interviews and narrowed in down to 2.5 guys. The Whiz and Zimmer with Arians still up in the air. It only makes sense that they bring the final candidates in for a more indepth interview. Honestly, Haslam and Banner probably gave Whiz and Zimmer some homework and asked they come prepared to address certain issues about the team. Their responses will likely determine who the choice will be.

I've actually always had a preference for defensive minded guys, I wanted Fewell when we hired Shurmdog. Zimmer works for me and Jackson is just gravy. I hope they get it done. Not a huge fan of Whisenhunt but I won't blast them if he ends up getting the gig. The D has a lot of young talent and I really want someone to come in and make them nasty. The AFC North will be up for grabs in the next few years, the time is now.
Not to mention stealing Zimmer and Jackson from a divisional rival only makes them more appealing. For people who want fire and emotion, he's their guy.

The article makes no mention of Chud. So Whiz got a 2nd interview on Thursday. Zimmer is gonna get one on Friday and the decision is going to happen sometime Sunday night. What are Haslam and Banner going to do Saturday and Sunday? I bet there is a third if not a 4th person that is apart of the final round. Chud and Arians maybe?

Give me Zimmer with Rob Ryan at dc for the pure hilarity of every future press conference :chuckles:
Utilized how? Modern NFL teams don't run the ball 40 times a game. He should get about 25 touches.

How much has Britton really been right about during this entire search? I'll wait for more facts to come out until I'm freaking out over his word.
