Has there been any speculation at all any coaches under Marrone are in trouble? I like the idea of replacing Wash, but I figured by now you would have at least heard they’re considering changes.

Hue ended up inviting him as his guest and Chad was working with draft picks for a few days during the Browns training camp.
Chad ended up leaving and Hue said that he believes that Chad discovered coaching was tougher than he thought it would be. Chad did mention that he would come back, and Hue said he could come back from time to time. But Hue wasn't sure if he would come back. I don't think he really did come back after training camp with the Browns. (Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that, and if he did come back after their training camp. But I don't think he did).
Maybe Doug wants Chad to work with some of the players in training camp. I'm not sure if it might be something beyond that. If so, hopefully if Chad is hired he will be effective and stick it out longer than he did with the Browns.

I think Keenan McCardell is doing a good job with our WR corp. Why would they bring Ochocinco in?

We need someone to coach up self-promotion?
Honestly, if he is looking to get into coaching, give him a QC position, let him study film, and work under a guy like McCardell. If McCarddell is a good coach he's probably going to be a good teacher of other coaches, and also may not stick around forever waiting for a promotion.

Oh what fresh hell is this? This is a joke right? Freaking Ochocinco? We all laughed at him on the sideline, this is Marrone rebuilding the staff?
And I'm hoping we make a run at Wade.

lol. On the bright side maybe this is a sign that Doug is attempting to make changes regarding the staff of this team. Granted it's not a move people were expecting, but maybe it's the start of some changes. Hopefully they will do something regarding the Defensive Coordinator position. Maybe get Wade and Schwartz is also still technically out there. I did see that reports that Scwartz is a serious candidate for the Browns and he met with them on Wednesday.
They still have to interview Kevin Stefanski today (and according to Peter Schrager, Paul DePodesta really likes him.) And then Josh McDaniels on Friday. I saw a report that the Browns wanted a deal in place by Saturday. So we should know soon if Jim will still be available.
Looking around the league I have mostly liked the hires that other teams have made at the Head Coaching position. I think that Mike McCarthy can help Dallas and could be a good fit for them. I like the Panther's hire. I'm a bit iffy on the Giants hire as HC, but it might work out for them. And while the Jags didn't change HC's maybe they can still make improvements on the staff like getting a better DC.

Agreed. I think it was NYC saying Wash and Warhop gone at least. I think we could all get on board with those 2 going. Ochocinco wasnt a bad player, he was actually really good but TO levels of drama. I'm sure hes calmed down now but if we want to go the ex-player route, which I do like, theres better choices out there. Why not go for Jerry Rice??!!
It will be interesting to see how Jerry and McCarthy work next year. Solid hire on paper but Dallas is JerryWorld. Rivera was a solid hire by Washington. Not sure of the Judge hire in NY. Tough City to coach in, young roster with lots of holes and been a bad team for too long. The rest of the East has gone experience...
Normally the team still looking for HC now are onto the 3rd/4th name on the list. Not a crazy amount of turnover this year so while the Browns are still searching, the look to have a run at who they want. I think they go heavy for McDaniels. Give him Mayfield to improve and a lot of weapons for his O.

He's probably trying to just beg his way into an internship or apprenticeship under McCardell. More than likely also motivated by the Minshew hype and hoping to cash in a bit if he can be around camp in July and promote himself.
The Jaguars are not hiring this guy to any serious position. Let's not get carried away here.
