The Cleveland Browns haven't made any commitments stating that quarterback Colt McCoy is their starter going forward following an encouraging rookie campaign.
However, Browns team president Mike Holmgren told ESPN Chicago that the hire of coach Pat Shurmur wasn't coincidental. It was at least partially because of McCoy.
“I hired Pat because I think we have a good young quarterback, and I wanted an offensive-minded head coach," Holmgren said. "It pretty much boiled down to that. And, I wanted one familiar with the system I was familiar with.”
It's the strongest statement Holmgren has made yet where he's indicated that McCoy is a big part of the future.
