Say what now?

Per Pro Football Talk:

The Browns' unpredictable head-coaching search nearly finished with what would have been the most unpredictable outcome of any head-coaching search since Jon Gruden was traded from the Raiders to the Buccaneers a dozen years ago.

Per multiple league sources, the Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a trade with the 49ers for the rights to coach Jim Harbaugh.

A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams. But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers.

Can't imagine why you would leave that team and that city unless something is really messed up with your relationship with others in power ... or if you crave total power over in an organization.

Interesting. With Harbaugh, nothing would surprise us.
