Wonder if him and his dad will end up in Oakland if in fact he did prefer Carr over Johnny.

Quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains has been in Johnny Manziel's corner all year long. In fact, he played a key part in bringing him to Cleveland. On draft night, Manziel sent Loggains a text message saying "Hurry up and draft me."

Loggains used it to convince the team to draft him, he told ESPN radio:

"When I got that text, I forwarded it to the owner (Jimmy Haslam) and to the head coach (Mike Pettine). I'm like, 'This guy wants to be here. He wants to be part of it.' As soon as that happened, Mr. Haslam said, 'Pull the trigger. We're trading up to go get this guy.'"

The Browns picked Manziel at No. 22 overall.

Talk about mixed signals. Shanahan didn't want Manziel and is now gone. Loggains wanted Manziel and is now gone.

They were 7-4 with a great chance at a playoff spot before they choked....

And the Commanders were 6-2 under Zorn at one point...before THEY choked.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to this year.

Coordinator Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains are out as the Browns’ top two offensive coaches in the latest shakeup by the organization that is allergic to stability.

The Browns have not confirmed the moves in an official statement.

Shanahan had a previously scheduled interview for the Buffalo Bills head coach position on Thursday and had expressed unhappiness with pressure from non-football executives to play quarterback Johnny Manziel, according to a report by Cleveland.com.

Shanahan won’t be out of work long. Reports have linked him to potential coordinator jobs with his father, Mike, and Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Both are up for several head coaching vacancies.

Loggains was a Manziel backer, but his days were numbered when he disclosed the inner workings of the Browns’ draft room that resulted in Manziel’s marriage to the Browns in May. In an interview with an Arkansas radio station a week after the draft, Loggains revealed that owner Jimmy Haslam gave the instruction to make the trade to acquire Manziel with the 22nd pick of the first round of the draft.

It’s possible there will be more changes on offense.

The Browns weren’t happy with Loggains’ openness. Pettine actually made Loggains wear a dunce cap in team offices after his comments were made public.

I'm well aware of what they did this year. My point was, there are a lot of teams that have good 7-8-9 game runs. We've had 3 in the last 10 years. But the Browns are one of the few teams that have made the playoffs less than the Commanders. I would hazard to say that Haslam is actually a worse owner than Snyder--certainly a bigger scumbag.
