    Kindasleazy Rice to become the new coach of the Cleveland Browns??

    Source: Browns eye Condi Rice for HC interview

    Browns general manager John Dorsey said last week that he was open to hiring a woman as Cleveland's next head coach, and one prominent name is on the team's wish list to interview.

    The Browns would like to interview former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for their head-coaching job, a league source tells ESPN.

    If the Browns follow through on it, Rice would become the first woman to interview for an NFL head-coaching job.

    Cleveland's interest in interviewing Rice comes at a time when women recently have moved into decision-making roles in men's professional sports. The San Antonio Spurs hired Becky Hammon as an assistant coach, the Buffalo Bills hired Kathryn Smith as a quality control assistant, the Oakland Raiders hired Kelsey Martinez to their strength staff, and the San Francisco 49ers hired Katie Sowers as an offensive assistant.

    A potential interview hardly means the Browns will hire Rice, but they are interested in talking to her about the job and seeing what she could bring to the position and the organization.

    "She's an amazing person," one Browns source told ESPN.

    The interview process could even lead to Rice becoming more involved in the organization in an official capacity or as a consultant.

    As much as the Browns admire Rice -- she attends some of their games and was spotted on the field with owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam before Cleveland's game in Oakland on Sept. 30 -- she admires them.

    Rice, 64, is a lifelong Browns fan, a love she got from watching Cleveland's games with her father at their home in Birmingham, Alabama. Rice has been featured in a Browns jersey in NFL ads, and there has been speculation that she even could become commissioner of the NFL.

    Rice has become more involved in sports, specifically on the collegiate level, since serving as secretary of state under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2009. She was one of the inaugural members of the College Football Playoff selection committee, where she worked from 2013 to 2016.

    Rice also recently chaired a commission on college basketball that recommended major changes to the sport this year, including an end to the one-and-done rule.

    Browns GM John Dorsey says no:

    “Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is a great leader, possesses the highest possible character and also happens to be a Browns fan. I have the utmost respect and admiration for all she’s accomplished and was honored to meet her for the first time earlier this season. Our coaching search will be thorough and deliberate, but we are still in the process of composing the list of candidates and Secretary Rice has not been discussed.”



    Interviewing Rice would put the Browns in compliance with the Rooney Rule.

    Being a lifelong Browns fan means she's stupid. :D

      LOL comment on Deadspin:

      Rice is a shrewd choice for the only organization in America that tortures more people than the Bush administration.

          Oh goody. A brown noser is perfect for running the Browns. Coming out of Washington she's already used to dealing with heap loads of bullshit.
