He talked about hiring an offensive coordinator. He talked about cherishing the opportunity for a real off-season this year with a roster of players he now knows pretty intimately. As far as looking toward the future though, he wasn’t able to shed a lot of light other than the fact that there will be changes and everyone is intent on doing much better next year.

Browns QB & HB Up For Grabs In 2012
If I was a starter on the Cleveland Browns offense in 2011, I’d be very worried as it seems everyone will have to earn their job next season. This even includes quarterback Colt McCoy and might also mean Peyton Hillis may not be back. Personally, I can’t blame head coach Pat Shurmur for not guaranteeing starting spots as his team went 4-12.
