The Cleveland Browns are taking a chance and have hired Brad Childress as their offensive coordinator. By hiring Childress, the Browns hope Pat Shurmur will have the support he needs to start a turnaround in Cleveland.Childress is a former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. Childress is a logical choice because he has roots in the West Coast offense, as well as connections to the Browns and an agent whose influence on the franchise is well documented. Bob LaMonte represents Childress, Shurmur, President Mike Holmgren and General Manager Tom Heckert, among others.
Shurmur has been juggling the duties of a rookie coach and an offensive coordinator, resulting in the Browns ranking 29th in offense, 20th in scoring and finishing the 2011 season with a record of 4-12.
