The Browns begin their spate of coaching interviews today, with the following set up:

Thursday, 1/7 - Pat Shurmur, Offensive Coordinator, STL.  His uncle was Fritz Shurmur, a Defensive Coordinator under Holmgren in Green Bay.  Pat also worked for the Eagles, so he is familiar with the WCO.  He has been credited with some of the development of rookie Sam Bradford this season.  He's 45 and has never been a Head Coach before.

Saturday, 1/9 - Mike Mularkey, Offensive Coordinator, ATL.  He has been the Offensive Coordinator in Atlanta for the last 3 years and has been credited with the development of Matt Ryan.  No history with Holmgren, but he does have Head Coaching experience - 2 years (14-18) with the Bills from 2004-2005, resigning due to the "direction of the organization" because of disagreements with new management.  49 years old.

Unknown (supposedly sometime this week) - Perry Fewell, Defensive Coordinator, NYG.  He's only been the Defensive Coordinator in New York for this season, but he did a really good job bringing the Giants D back to life after a poor 2009 following the departure of Steve Spagnuolo.  Prior to that, he was the interim Head Coach in Buffalo last season for the final 7 games (3-4).  He has no previous history with Holmgren.  He's 48 years old.

Sometime next week - Marty Mornhinweg, Offensive Coordinator, PHI.  5-27 in 2 years as Head Coach in Detroit ('01-'02).  Has been the OC in Philly the last 5 years, including calling plays for Andy Reid and being credited with developing both Kevin Kolb and Mike Vick.  He was a Quarterbacks Coach in Green Bay under Holmgren in the mid-90's.  Still only 48 years old.
