Bieniemy interviewing for parallel move where he'd probably end up being the play caller which he isn't now.

Actually not surprised by this move. LB play left a whole lot to be desired.

Agree. I think ILB was actually our worst unit. However, I also think they were the unit most victimized by _onatell's misguided scheme. Hicks is almost certainly gone, but Kendricks could remain depending on how Flores thinks he fits what he wants to do. I think it's a little more likely we cut his money and bring in one of Flores's disciples to pair with Asamoah.

I agree Hicks is gone and big "?" regarding Kendricks...

Per that draft thread we got going, it would not surprise me to see a rook paired with Asamoah this season.

But that is damn young at a position thats not easy to do in the NFL.

A situation with essentially 2 rookies trying to set a defense that nobody on the team has previously played in... what could go wrong there?  If there was ever a situation that says pay Harrison Smith his money it would be to be the guy that wears the green dot.  Sure its new to him too,  but he's smart and he's seen it all before.

Browns hire Bill Musgrave as offensive coaching assistantCLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski continued to overhaul his coaching staff following a 7-10 season on Monday, hiring Bill Musgrave as a senior offensive adviser and making several other changes.
Stefanski's offseason has previously included firing both defensive coordinator Joe Woods and . They were replaced by Jim Schwartz and Ray “Bubba” Ventrone, respectively.
As the Browns got ready for this week's scouting combine in Indianapolis, Stefanki made more tweaks with Musgrave's addition the most notable move.
The 55-year-old Musgrave spent the past three season as California's offensive coordinator. But he also has 12 years of experience in the NFL, including three seasons in Minnesota, where he worked with Stefanski.
That’s right we have a Musky sighting…! ;)  B)

Mike Pettine reportedly in the mix to join the Eagles’ coaching staffThe Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly hiring Sean Desai as their new defensive coordinator. And it appears they might hire a former Desai associate to work with him.
Geoff Mosher reports he is hearing that Minnesota Vikings assistant head coach Mike Pettine could join the Eagles’ coaching staff.
Pettine joined the Vikings with his current title in 2022 after serving as a senior defensive assistant for the Bears in 2021. That was the same year Desai served as Chicago’s defensive coordinator. 
Given Desai’s relative youth (turns 40 in April) and inexperience (one season as DC), there’s some sense in adding a more seasoned coach to assist him. Pettine fits the bill considering he’s been coaching in the NFL since 2004 and he’s held defensive coordinator roles with the New York Jets (2009-2012), Buffalo Bills (2013), and Green Bay Packers (2018-2020). Pettine was also the Cleveland Browns’ head coach for two years (2014-2015). 
As an added bonus, Pettine is a local guy. The Doylestown, PA native attended high school at CB West. He was a head coach at William Tennent High School and then North Penn High School towards the beginning of his coaching career. Would be kind of cool to have a hometown flair on the Eagles’ defense with Pettine being a Bucks County guy and Desai having attended/coached at Temple. Plus there’s obviously Camden, NJ native and Temple alumnus Haason Reddick as a defensive cornerstone on the field.
If the Pettine hire goes through, the Eagles could look to give him the title he had with Desai in Chicago. The Birds also still have a linebackers coach spot to fill after losing Nick Rallis to the Arizona Cardinals.
