Browns hire Rob Chudzinski as new coach

[IE]

A person familiar with the decision says the Cleveland Browns have hired Carolina offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski as their new coach.

Chudzinski will become the Browns' sixth full-time coach since 1999, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday night on the condition of anonymity because the team has not yet announced the hiring. The 44-year-old Chudzinski has spent the past two seasons with the Panthers. He has had two previous stints with the Browns as an assistant coach.

Chudzinski, who grew up in Ohio and rooted for the Browns as a kid, interviewed with the team on Wednesday. He has spent the past two years working with quarterback Cam Newton.

The Browns have been searching for a coach since firing Pat Shurmur on Dec. 31 after a 5-11 season.

Chud & Whisenhut both had 2 interviews and Esss-pen was saying Whistenhut had the strong shot, but Chud will do a great job. Former Buckeye if my memory serves me right!! At least the Browns may have an offense again in 2013-14. They need a lot more depth added and some receivers.

BOL Chud-ster!!

Werder is saying that Chud is targetting Norv Turner as the OC? OMFG!!! Can you fire him already!!?????
If Norv was that good of a coordinator, they would have won consistently in SD!! DOn't bring that whack job back in the NFL. Ron Turner was a joke as a coach at Illinois and got all the kudos because of his brother Norv!! Both Turners don't belong in the NFL. Get them out of here!! CHUD DON'T DEW IT!!!
