The fact is most decent assistants up for HC jobs would pass on the Browns and wait for another team. I'm not talking about mediocre assistants who will take any job offered to them. You think Matt Patricia or Josh McDaniels would leave the Pats for Cleveland. Both have had chances to leave. I wonder if Jim Schwartz of the Eagles would take the Cleveland job. It's going to be a decent paycheck but if your canned two years from now it's going to be hard to find another HC job unless you toil as an assistant again. Would much rather go after job at Indy and hope Luck heals up. You have a chance there. It seems no matter what Cleveland does it ends fucked up. You know many top candidates turned down the Eagles after Kelly was fired because they didn't want to work with Roseman. You have an owner who doesn't meddle and who will spend whatever it takes to win. Adam Gaze turned the Eagles down to go to Miami. Right now he looks like an idiot. I think this is why they kept Jackson in Cleveland. The situation is so bad only coaches that would be worst than Jackson would take job.
