BEREA Orange Bernie Kosar Jerseys , Ohio (AP) — Mike McCarthy’s connections with the Browns could land him his next job.Dumped by Green Bay on Sunday after 13 seasons, a Super Bowl win and amid a seemingly growing rift with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, McCarthy’s candidacy to become Cleveland’s next coach has gotten more legitimate.The 55-year-old McCarthy was already being mentioned as a possibility for the Browns, who dismissed Hue Jackson last month and will wait until after the season before hiring his full-time replacement.As far as center JC Tretter is concerned, the Browns couldn’t go wrong with McCarthy.“I’ve always enjoyed working with Mike McCarthy,” said Tretter, who played four seasons under McCarthy before signing as a free agent with Cleveland in 2017. “I think what he has done in his career in Green Bay has been extraordinary. I think he’s a great man, too. I don’t have a bad thing to say about Mike McCarthy. He was really an awesome leader and an awesome coach.”McCarthy is no stranger to the Browns.General manager John Dorsey, who has revamped Cleveland’s roster and is leading the team’s coaching search, spent 21 years as an executive in Green Bay and helped hire McCarthy. Browns assistant GM Eliot Wolf, son of former Packers GM Ron Wolf, worked in Green Bay’s scouting department for 14 years, and vice president of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith was with the Packers for 19 years before he was hired by Dorsey.Tretter said he can’t provide any more information to Cleveland’s executives about McCarthy than they have already.“They know enough upstairs,” Tretter said. “They got Eliot and Alonzo and they’ve got other guys from the Green Bay organization. I don’t think I can bring anything more to the table than they already know. They were with him longer than I was and they were upstairs with him more than I was downstairs with him, so I think they know everything they need to know. I’m just looking forward to seeing the direction we go with this team.”Dorsey hasn’t revealed much about his plans to hire Cleveland’s 17th full-time coach — and sixth in the past 10 years.Interim coach Gregg Williams Bernie Kosar Jerseys 2019 , who took over for Jackson, will be interviewed; Dorsey has not disclosed who else is on his list. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley has been mentioned as a possible candidate along with Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Minnesota offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, and New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels among the most prominent names being mentioned.It will be tough for any candidate to have a resume as impressive as McCarthy’s.He went 125-77-2 in 13 seasons with the Packers, leading them to a Super Bowl title in 2010. However, Green Bay has struggled the past two seasons, missing the playoffs last year for the first time since 2008.The Packers are 4-7-1 this season, with McCarthy’s relationship with Rodgers becoming a weekly drama around the team.Tretter knows both men well, and said any of differences have been exaggerated.“That whole story line gets a little overblown,” Tretter said. “They are just two competitive people and I think they are both competitive in the same direction in that they both want the team to win. They just are very confident in what they think is best for the team to win, so I never really interpreted it as a bad thing.”Cleveland’s coaching gig has never looked so attractive.Rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield has shown signs of being the franchise QB the Browns have coveted for years, and any coach who comes to Cleveland will be required to further develop him.Tretter feels McCarthy would be ideal for Mayfield.“They would do great, he said. “He started working with Aaron when Aaron was a rookie, too, and Aaron’s developed into a hell of a player Browns Odell Beckham Jerseys , so I think that relationship would be fine. I see a lot of similarities between Aaron and Baker personality-wise, competitiveness, and that’s all the things that Aaron came in with, too, when he was a young player, so I think they’d work well together.”NOTES: S Denzel Ward remains in concussion protocol after getting hurt in Sunday’s loss to Houston. … DL Larry Ogunjobi (biceps) said he doesn’t think his injury is serious. Williams said Ogunjobi was still undergoing tests. … The Browns did not put a claim on former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, waived Saturday after a video showed him shoving and kicking a woman at a Cleveland hotel. Dorsey drafted Hunt in the third round in 2017. Former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians continues to talk about a job for which there鈥檚 no indication anyone wants to talk to him. But Arians knows what he鈥檚 doing, because if he says the right thing at the right time to the right audience, the right person could decide he鈥檚 the right man for the job.Arians, who for years refused to play political games or otherwise promote himself for open positions, has opted to subtly launch a media-based effort to build support for the Browns鈥?head-coaching job. It started innocently enough, with a seemingly spontaneous blurt that he鈥檇 return to the game for only one job 鈥?the Browns job. It continued over the weekend with quotes on the record to the NFL’s in-house media outlet regarding his interest in the job.And he said he’s ultimately interested in the job not because of the presence of a young franchise quarterback who could lead a team to the Super Bowl, but because of (wait for it) the fans.“I’ve always loved Cleveland,” Arians told NFL.com. “The fans, shoot Ozzie Newsome Jersey 2019 , one of the best groups in the league and when I called their game this past year, I got that feeling about them.”When he was asked point blank to attribute his interest to the quality of the roster or the fans, Arians said,聽“Mostly the fans.”It’s a smart move by Arians. Even though the job has been open for several weeks, and Arians is available to be approached, he apparently hasn’t heard from G.M. John Dorsey. Indeed, Arians pegged his chances of getting an interview at “one percent” before adding, “We’ll see.”We’ll definitely see, based on whether the fans take to Arians the way Arians has taken to the fans. Because if one homeless guy can influence owner Jimmy Haslam to select Johnny Manziel, imagine what thousands of home-dwelling (and ticket-buying) fans can do, if they get behind the idea of Arians becoming the next head coach.Of course, there’s also a chance that interim coach Gregg Williams wins enough games to get the fans behind him. Regardless, whoever gets the fans has a good chance of getting the gig, and Arians is wisely doing what he can to get in line. www.nflshopoutlet.com/cincinnati-bengals
