Person speculates we could take a look at some assistants from the Browns staff as well.

Nolan Cromwell has a pretty good rep as a wide receiver coach (Person thinks that job belongs to Proehl) though in Cleveland he was an offensive assistant. Cromwell has coached special teams before though and was a great special teamer as a player. Honestly, he might conceivably be worth a look as a potential OC.

The guy who actually held the WR coaching duties is named Mike Wilson. He's best known for helping develop Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin in Arizona. Could be worth a look.

Browns RB coach Gary Brown interned with the Panthers in 2007. He's inexperienced but has had decent results. I remember him as a player. I think there are better options.

And of course, Panther fans should remember LB Coach Billy Davis. He was the guy that coached Salt and Pepper (not the one that Greene choked though, that was Kevin Steele). Doesn't look like he has any history with Rivera though.

The Browns also have a couple of old hands on the defensive side of the ball in Dick Jauron and Ray Rhodes. Unknown if there'd be a fit for either here except in a consultant type role (which is what Rhodes was doing in Cleveland anyway). They also have an experienced S&C coach who might be worth a look.

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
