Apparently the Browns agree with me for once. I wrote last Sunday, “… Chud, who (personal bias admitted) would be a fine candidate for the open job as Browns’ offensive coordinator.” Now, indeed, we learn that the Chargers’ tight end coach, formerly the Browns’ acting offensive coordinator and Wheelie’s OC at the U, will interview for the chance to take charge of the Browns’ perennially pathetic offense. (UPDATE: The job is now his!)

Longtime blog readers may recall that Chud is a former classmate of mine, but many voices other than mine commended his performance during the otherwise disastrous 2004 season. Wherever he has gone, the tight ends have produced, and I can tell you firsthand that he is a very bright, serious, and personable guy. He can only be a good influence on Wheelie, and probably on the Detroit Diva too. (Longtime blog readers may also recall my penchant for bestowing nicknames on those Browns who try to coin their own.)

In any case, Chud has been Chud as long as I can remember, and I’m glad that his past association with the PHD-era Browns is not a disqualification for his potential return to his favorite team.
