Carthon in Cleveland?

Maurice Carthon wo be the Browns offensive coordinator? That's what this article suggests. I don't know jack about Carthon, but this sounds promising to me. Let me explain why. I know the Cowboys offense hasn't scared anyone recently and it's probably not the most impressive thing a guy could have on his resume. But the Cowboys ran a pretty conventional, more ground oriented attack. They weren't very successful but they were more and more effective with Julius Jones running as the 2004 season wore on. If Crennel is seeking out an ofensive coordinator with that type of track record it's an indication he is serious about playing more physical and more run-oriented football. It's not going to be exciting, but it will good for the long-term health of the Browns. And, to stretch this a bit further, maybe it will result in the Browns getting that o-line and defense this city deserves.

Also in the same article: "One coach slowly climbing the ladder with New England is Josh McDaniels, the former Canton McKinley High School quarterback."
Wow. This kid was the QB on a fantastic McKinley team, although he himself didn't seem like a very good quarterback. In fact, I always had the impression the only reason he was the QB was because his father Thom was the coach of the team. Anyway, good luck to him and I'm shocked he is now, of all things, the _quarterback coach_ for the Patriots. Amazing. Maybe he was a much better QB than I had thought!
