Just listened to Florio rank all the coaching opportunities on a scale of 1-10 and gave the Cleveland job a 1.5 mostly owing to the presence of slippin' Jimmy Haslam. That and there is no clearly identifiable realistic solution to the QB position for next year and who you do have to work with is kind of a nightmare scenario. He's not wrong. I think anyone of any real merit will hesitate. My guess is we're going to have to go with a coordinator who just isn't on many lists, a washout like McCarthy or an age out. But Harbaugh is not coming here, even with "an offer he couldn't refuse". Schwartz with Rees makes the most sense. It's the stability/ continuity choice. It's also the easiest to pull the plug on next year if it goes t!ts up. But it doesn't sound like there's much enthusiasm, like they're doing it because everyone is asking them about Schwartz and Rees.
Pick Schwarz & Rees, trade down & pick up another #1 next year, do the OL & WR rebuild and revisit the whole QB thing again next year when hopefully the pool is deeper. If you do clean house next year, you've got the lure of 2 #1's and fresh slate without the DW overhang.
