How the Browns choked away the 2nd half of the season is beyong me. Idk anyone would like to see him come back to the Texans? Doubt it though since I think he and BOB won't coincide with what each is trying to do. Here is the link. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...-soured-cleveland-browns-friction-report-said
I feel like the NFL is going to tire on him soon if not already. Might be time for him to give college a try. He might actually be better there.
This was his only opportunity away from both Kubiak and his dad... and the results were less than stellar (teams definitely adjusted to his initial run heavy approach, and he showed very little adjustment ability). He's not really proven himself to warrant all these OC opportunities he's gotten... I agree that he probably should go to the college ranks and pay some actual dues.
Daddy Shanahan and Kubes have both been linked to the Chicago job. He will find another OC gig in the NFL somewhere....
He did have a talent issue in Cleveland; Hoyer is awful, Gordon has spent most of the past two years suspended and their big FA acquisition (Tate) proved a waste of money. If he's still a viable candidate, I would imagine that's why.

Kubiak is an OC and no more. Bills would be better served finding a HC who understands offense, defense and special teams.
10-6 and 12-4 with a competent DC says otherwise. Get him a competent QB and you have a playoff team.
Kubiak strikes me as one of those guys who learned his lessons from his first HC job, and will now use that knowledge to become a better HC in his second go-around. He'll need a good DC and QB, but how many offensive-minded head coaches can get by without either of those things? I think whoever gets Kubiak this time around is going to get a hell of a coach.
All true... but most coordinators make their marks by taking a team that's either under-performing or with little expectations (because of a perceived lack of talent), and they turn those programs around and make themselves a HC candidate. Kyle Shanahan is a head coach candidate now, why? Was bad in Cleveland and showed diminishing returns and regression under his dad in Washington (a stint that included player confrontations with him that helped contribute to his firing). His best run of success was now over 4 years ago in Houston... under Kubiak. Is that why he's getting consideration? I've never seen a HC candidate who's accomplished as little as he has during his coaching tenure.
If one of these retro Bronco-esque offensive guys ever get the opportunity to team up with an Aaron Rogers/Andrew Luck type the League will definitely be put on notice.
To add _ they also lost their best offensive linemen and had to depend on rookie RB's... And the defense was trash. The games they did win was because of Shanahan. It's just an interview dude... Todd Bowles has been interviewing for head coaching jobs forever and hasn't gotten one yet. A lot of head coaches had to go through that process. And it's not like Kyle is the only person Buffalo is interviewing.
A lot of head coaches aren't great as 1st time head coaches. It's a list of coaches that had success their 2nd time around. I don't know how Kubiak would do but it's not outside the realm of possibility that he would be successful. He wouldn't be my 1st choice though. Hopefully he learned that he should leave GM duties to the GM while he's in Baltimore. I think one of his biggest problems was personnel issues.
Kubiak only hired a competent DC, after 5 years of defensive failures and the owner made him. To see what hen Kubiak does when left to his own devices, see his Special Teams coordinator.
