Listening to the Bill Simmons podcast this morning and Peter Schrager just said Nathan Scheelhaase is a serious contender for next head coach of the Cleveland Browns. That would be a wild turn!
Scheelhaase to the Browns?
- Thread starter Jkclone15
- Start date
I'm currently, right now, just like Nate and trying to take the Browns to the Super Bowl.
-Browns, Ravens, Raiders, Steelers so far
It is sad, but every time a minority coach is in the hunt for a job I wonder if the poor guy is getting Rooney Ruled. I think there are still a lot of really, really, good minority coaches who don't get a fair look. I wouldn't be surprised if they interviewed him but were really just looking at him as a coordinator. But I think he would be a GREAT hire for the HC job.
Unfortunately the League is still largely run by old, white millionaires.

How Rams' Nate Scheelhaase Became Architect of the Aerial Assault
WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. When news broke last offseason that the Rams were able to retain offensive assistant Nate Scheelhaase, the move came and went from the news
www.si.com
Back in 2022, when Scheelhaase was Iowa State's wide receivers coach, he stole McVay concepts built for Cooper Kupp to turn wide receiver Jaylin Noel from a little-known prospect into a household collegiate playmaker.
"I remember sitting with Jaylin Noel after the LA Rams 2021 Super Bowl year, and watching Cooper Kupp stack, choice, decision-making based on coverages and, I mean I literally remember after his freshman year, watching that cut up and just showing him all the different looks that Cooper Kupp got, and saying man, we're going to do this play with you this next year."
"And then Jaylin ran a ton of that, I mean, all throughout his time there at Iowa State. So there was an appreciation, for Sean, the offense, of what they were doing here, for Cooper Kupp. So those things happen naturally."
In the three years after the 2021 season, Noel recorded 206 catches for 2,586 and 18 touchdowns. The Houston Texans drafted Noel and Iowa State teammate Jayden Higgins, whom Scheelhaase recruited and coached, in the 2025 NFL Draft. Scheelhaase was on the opposite sideline for their debuts in week one.
Analyst to head coach is a big jump.
So, if things don't work out for Campbell at Penn State, he will become an analyst for the Browns!
I hope Nate gets whatever he wants but the Browns head job hasn't exactly been a career maker.
Man I wish we could have gotten a couple more years out of him at OC.
He could hire Campbell as his rambling motivational speaker
I'm a Chiefs fan, we're obviously hoping for a new OC and my podcast dudes had Scheelhaase in the top 2 or 3 of their short list for whom they hope would get that job. His profile is no secret in the NFL, and he has the McVay fairy dust now.
He wasn't an analyst for the Rams, he was their offensive pass game coordinator. Which is essentially the highest offensive assistant behind the coordinator LaFleur and McVay.
