Is Mike Holmgren Headed to the Cleveland Browns Sidelines?

The Cleveland Browns are a young team with lots of issues across it's roster, and in the coaching ranks.

A list of some of the roster issues look like this:

• No true playmaker at receiver has shown up yet.
• Those players who are considered playmakers are not getting nearly enough touches per game.
• Peyton Hillis doesn't seem to be a part of the offensive scheme as much as Montario Hardesty is, as of late.
• The defensive line is young and still needs added depth to keep them fresh and aggressive.
• Starting strong side linebacker Scott Fujita is on the downside of his career and shouldn't be starting anymore due to a lack of speed.
• There is no true free safety and the Usama Young-Mike Adams rotation is not working.
• The offensive line (except Joe Thomas and Alex Mack) is the worst it's been in recent memory.
• Quarterback Colt McCoy is having issues completing a pass longer than 10 yards, consistently.
• And many more...

These issues can all be discussed in their own separate articles, but this article is focusing on head coach/offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.

Shurmur is in over his head, period. There is no other way to put it better than that.

When team president Mike Holmgren chose Shurmur as his head coach, at the start of the 2011 year, Browns fans were putting their faith into Holmgren making the right decision to lead the team from its decade-long length of ineptness.

Then Holmgren let Shurmur decide to not bring in an offensive coordinator and he would take on that responsibility himself. It's as if being a rookie head coach wasn't going to be challenging enough for Shurmur or something.
