http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3823618Niners interviewing Browns assistant Comment Email Print Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Rob Chudzinski, the Cleveland Browns' offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, is interviewing with 49ers coach Mike Singletary for San Francisco's vacant offensive coordinator job. Former St. Louis coach Scott Linehan and Indianapolis receivers coach Clyde Christensen interviewed with the 49ers on Friday. Chudzinski was praised in 2007 when Cleveland's offense scored 402 points and finished eighth in the NFL, but his unit slumped to 31st this season, contributing to coach Romeo Crennel's firing. Chudzinski got a contract extension from Cleveland last season, but isn't expected to stay on new coach Eric Mangini's staff. Mangini, fired by the Jets before taking over in Cleveland, is expected to hire New York quarterbacks coach Brian Daboll as his offensive coordinator. The 40-year-old Chudzinski is an up-and-coming offensive mind, but he was known for a pass-first philosophy with Cleveland quarterbacks Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn, which might not fit Singletary's vision of a run-based offense in San Francisco. The 49ers are searching for their seventh offensive coordinator in seven seasons after Singletary fired Mike Martz late last month. San Francisco's offense improved under Martz after being the NFL's worst in two of the previous three seasons. Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press

Good luck to him. Hopefully he commits to the run a little bit more and his players execute for him.

Did we grant permission? Chud's still our OC, and can't inverview for OC jobs elsewhere without permission.

I'd say this means he's been told his services are no longer needed. Either that or his contract was up.

I'd say it's a safe assumption that we did allow it.. perhaps even encourage it.

His contract wasn't up...he got an extension after last season.
I'm assuming as well that we granted permission, but it wasn't mentioned and usually is in articles like these. Just wondering.

I was one of chud's supporters but after last years pathetic play calling and execution of the O I would drive him to San Fran. myself just to get rid of him...its hard to stand and support a guy who couldnt score a TD in what like a 5 game span? Its like he just stopped trying last year....

As a second year OC, Chud made a few mistakes,, no question about it. But I wouldn't characterize it as all his fault.. There were other issues like injuries and very poor execution.
I'm wondering, I have an opinion that Singletary is a task master, no nonsense type of guy. Hows that gonna work for chud who seems to be more used to laid back RAC.....
I do wish him all the luck in the world...

I think Chud would've been more likely to score an offensive touchdown if he came out and took the snaps himself. Dorsey and Gradkowski weren't going to do squat.

Beats me...just one of the many things that left me scratching my head this season. When I wasn't shaking it in disgust, that is.

Singletary will win in spite of it. I will throw sideways and run the middle exclusively for half of what Chud will make.

Is that the truth?
Did any offensive players volunteer to switch to D during the offseason after a few years of that?

The Niners offense in 2009 will set a NFL record for the least points scored in a 16 game season if he's hired.
Its bad enough they no answer at QB...
maybe Chudzinksi will take Dorsey with him.

I have no sympathy for Chud, no matter who the qb is. 5 GAMES without a TD (leave it to the Browns to set a new record like this) Run wildcat all game long or whatever yo have to do but c'mon.  Good ridance

I'd say that Mangini even helped him pack his suitcase.
