Whatever one thinks about Shurmur’s coaching in Cleveland, rest assure the new OC will just follow in the same channel as Shurmur, unless he has the freedom to call his own plays.

Cleveland needs an OC who is creative, dynamic, and able to scheme a fascinating offense with the players on the roster. In the WCO, there should never be a question about getting 3 yards on 3rd down, or going for it on 4th and one.

This is a QB-driven league, but you also need ground-pounders to keep defenses honest. It used to be that the run was used to set up the pass; it’s now reversed.
