BEREA, Ohio (AP) - With his new boss, the former Super Bowl-winning coach looking over his right shoulder, Pat Shurmur began his career with the Cleveland Browns. Mike Holmgren prays it's a long one. ``This is the first head coach I've ever hired,'' said Holmgren, the club's president. ``I trust it will be my last. I don't want to do it again.'' This time, the Browns believe they got it right. They'd better. St. Louis' offensive coordinator the past two years, Shurmur was introduced Friday as Cleve |

| Berea, OH (MySportsbook) - The Cleveland Browns named Pat Shurmur as the team's new head coach Thursday afternoon. Shurmur becomes the 13th full-time head coach in franchise history, replacing Eric Mangini, who was fired following a second straight 5-11 season. He spent the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams, who engineered a turnaround from 1-15 in 2009 to 7-9 and the brink of a playoff berth in 2010. Quarterback Sam Bradford made a huge impact for the Rams this past season |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Raiders have the only head coaching vacancy left in the NFL. With Denver's hiring of John Fox on Thursday, six of the seven head coaching vacancies have been filled this offseason. Earlier Thursday, the Cleveland Browns hired Pat Shurmur as coach. The Raiders announced last week they were not picking up a $5 million, two-year option to retain coach Tom Cable. Cable went 17-27 in two-plus seasons. He led the Raiders to an 8-8 mark in 2010, Oakland's best record since 200 |

CLEVELAND (AP) - Pat Shurmur quickly turned rookie quarterback Sam Bradford into a rising NFL star. Shurmur's next project will be tougher. The Cleveland Browns are no easy fix.

Shurmur isn't a big-name hire, and his addition won't trigger a c |

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Cleveland Browns could have a new coach in hours. The team is in talks with St. Louis offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur to succeed Eric Mangini and become its fifth coach since 1999. Shurmur's agent, Bob LaMonte, arrived at team headquarters Thursday to negotiate with Browns President Mike Holmgren, who just happens to be one of his clients. Shurmur spent the past two years running the Rams' offense. He helped develop rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, who led the Rams to a 7-9 recor |
