Since Pettine wanted DeFellippo to interview for the Browns' OC last year, I see him as the favorite for this year. I don't believe that DeF has called offensive plays at the NFL level, so it looks like we have that going for us :/

Cavanaugh would be nice, because we are taking from a divisional rival AND he has experience with the ZBS scheme.

Callahan would be pretty good, as well, but due to the Cowboys' OL success I'm not sure Jerry will even let him interview. IIRC he's got that Assistant HC as part of his title.

I think Trestman would be a good get for OC, although since he was already the Browns OC in like the early 90s, I can't see him too eager to take the position.

I've also seen that the WRs coach (close with Shanahan) will most likely wind up where Kyle goes, and DB coach Shafley (sp?) is going to get some run as a potential DC.

It was just posted on Twitter that Chan Gailey might be someone to look at for OC.. Farmer was with him in KC.

Edit:

I'm not sure why the Browns would want Chan Gailey. He got fired because the Bills got too pass happy, which would seem to be a not so great idea here.

I really want Trestman. His offensive system is similar to what we just ran, for the most part, and he has been incredible with QB prospects in the past, Jay Cutler excluded obviously.

Yeah, basically Trestman and DeFelippo are the only two names that move the bar for me.

Both of them are less appealing than Kyle Shanahan.

So I guess it is what it is.

Former Bills coach Chan Gailey on the Cleveland Browns' radar for their OC vacancy

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former Bills head coach Chan Gailey is on the Browns' radar for their offensive coordinator vacancy, a league source confirmed.

Alex Marvez of Fox Sports first reported Monday morning that the Browns were interested in Gaily as a possible replacement for Kyle Shanahan, who resigned last week.

Fox's Mike Garafolo also reported that the Gailey would have a chance to join Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles if he gets a head coaching job.

Gailey, 63, has been out of football since the Bills fired him after the 2012 season. He went 16-32 as head coach of the Bills, including 6-10 in 2012.

Gailey worked with Browns general manager Ray Farmer in 2008 in Kansas City, where Gailey was offensive coordinator and Farmer was director of pro personnel.

Gailey joins former Raiders quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo as a candidate for the job. Marvez also cited former Browns offensive coordinator Marc Trestman, recently fired as Bears head coach, and Raiders senior assistant Al Saunders as candidates.

Cowboys offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Bill Callahan, who worked with Browns coach Mike Pettine from 2009-11, is another coach the Browns could possibly become interested in. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that Callahan's contract is up in Dallas, and is drawing interest elsewhere. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that Rex Ryan, who's agreed in principle to become head coach of the Bills, is interested in Callahan.

Ryan is also expected to hire Browns candidate Greg Roman as his offensive coordinator in Buffalo. Roman, the John Carroll University grad, was schedule to interview with the Browns Monday, but now that's unlikely.

DeFilippo, a native of Youngstown, is a rising offensive star in the NFL and received credit this season for the fine job he did with Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr.

Saunders, 67, has more than 41 years of coaching experience, including the past 32 in the NFL. He has been a part of 15 playoff teams, five division titles and one Super Bowl championship and on 20 occasions his offensive units have ranked first in the NFL in total offense, passing, rushing or scoring.

Just to clear a few things up... Cavanaugh was the QB coach for the Bears under Trestman these past 2 years and he was with the Jets prior to that. He hasn't been with a divisional rival (Baltimore) since 2004.

Callahan was actually a target for the Browns OC job last year but Jones wouldn't allow him to interview even though he was demoted from OC with play calling to OC in charge of the offensive line. Scott Linehan was given OC and play calling. Callahan's contract is up now so he is free to become a coach anywhere they'd like to hire him.

Thanks Phils, I have been confusing Cavanaugh with Kubiac for some reason; I blame the constant fluidity of the OC position for my insolence

Marc Trestman, please. This in a Browns shirt is just too hard to pass up on...

I'd really like some candidates known for their commitment to the run game to pop up. All these guys throw it around. I like Trestman, I've been hoping we'd get him since Mangini was hired. However, his offense doesn't have much in the "hit you in the mouth, ground and pound" department. I get the impression that's the tough-guy mindset that Pettine wants. Plus, we have no Qb or receivers, so we might want to focus on using what we do have.

Some names are known as QB development coaches first, but it doesn't mean they totally abandon the run.

Both Cavanaugh and Saunders have a longstanding resume with mixing the run and the pass. For NFL history geeks, Cavanaugh was college teammates with Tony Dorsett on those dominant late 70s Pitt teams. I think the best thing about those two older guys would be their ability to focus on the run while developing the young QB. They have a history that would bring a young QB along slowly.

I am interested in getting both Cavanaugh and DeFilippo if that is an option.

If you want a running team, Callahan is your man. Plus he makes a mean brake pad.

Well that's a monkey wrench. Invite them all to Cleveland, and tell them to bring Manning with. Broncos and 49'ers have lost their damn minds.
