It's ridiculous...but she couldn't do worse than Hue Jackson.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Browns would "like to interview" former secretary of state and national security advisor Condoleezza Rice to be their next head coach.

What. This report was so wild and out there that we hesitated to post, fearing Schefter may have been hacked. He has not been. This is just the Cleveland Browns in action. The former George W. Bush administration official is well known for her football fandom, but aside from a stint on the college football playoff committee has never worked in the field. That makes sense since, you know, she has had bigger fish to fry. The whole plan is so crazy that we have a hard time believing it's anything other than a lark, but owner Jimmy Haslam was famously put over the top to draft Johnny Manziel by the advice of a random person on the street. If sanity prevails, Rice would probably be a better fit somewhere in the Browns' front office than on the sideline.

Political move to help her get a spot high up in the NFL heirarchy, I.E. commissioner. Hiring her to HC is like hiring some random nerd on SportsHoopla to coach an NFL team. Kind of a weird way to break the ice, but cool I guess.

Scary part is you're probably right, lmao.

This is something I could see the Browns doing lol

If there's one thing about Condi, she'll be the smartest person in any room she enters, especially in the Browns organization. I say give her a shot.

I wouldn't question her smarts at all. I would question her FOOTBALL knowledge or lack thereof. I know she was one of the committee members for the CFP but I don't think that qualifies her to be a Head Coach.

Shit why don't we just wheel Stephen Hawking out there? fuck it!

And this is why the Brown will continue to be the laughing stock of the NFL. What a bunch of fucking morons.

Eh, there's an easy explanation for why they would do this and it has nothing to do with hiring her.

That may be the case but there are NFL players that enter free agency that want to associate themselves with a team that at least appears to be serious about a championship.....it appears the Browns are not it.

Ehhhh, McCloughan and Dorsey have a damn good résumé to point to in the winning department. That's before talking Wolf. Wouldn't be hard to convince FA's with the cash they have they are about winning.
