Bates?

Big thread going on at the Watercooler over at BerniesInsiders.com. The jist is the Savage would hire Bates if he had his pick, and apparently a lot of reliable sources back it up via Hal Lobowitz. OK... looks like the HC search will take a lot of twists and turns before all is said and done. I still like Grimm, but I who knows how his interview went -- I imagine it'd have to go quite well to beat out lots of guys with more actual coaching experience. So Crennel makes sense. And Bates, really, he makes a lot of sense too since he has a very good track record and ties to Savage. I wouldn't be dissappointed with him either. The way things are going it is feeling like the Browns will have a coach within a week. And it probably won't be whatever guy I'm thinking it should be, and I won't really care cause we're gonna sink or swim with Savage's decisions.
