Cleveland seems on the upward trend. But until they show some consistency, I will see it as a coach killer.
Some of these fires I agree with. Packers, Arizona, Bucs. Running old systems or even 90's offensive systems and not keeping pace with the league. But also some of these teams are perpetually at the bottom for a reason. Impatience by not allowing a coach to establish his system and also bad drafting.

Eberflus is not supposed to sign a new contract until the Colts season is officially over but he can interview as long as the Colts front office and Reich gives the OK.
Since Ballard and Dorsey are close, I am sure the front office gave the OK. Heck, the Colts interviewed McVisor last year during the playoffs and that sort of set everything up for that mess because the contract couldn't be officially signed and McVisor could easily wuss out.

I would actually be surprised at him going to Cleveland, they should just keep the interim coach. But hey, it is the Browns, so expect them to something that doesn't make much since
I heard Arians is the favorite in TB

When you are an assistant looking to further your career there is no NFL Heach Coaching job that is not attractive. To be able to run your own ship is a role that very few coaches actually manage to achieve. Are there certain organisations that are higher profile, a better fit...of course. But you very rarely see an aspiring coach turn down an opportunity to take a HC position as they may never get that chance again.

Seems likely Eberflus will be back
The head coaching hires are dwindling in and no word of him getting a shot yet
I'd like to think Eberflus is not in a hurry to go anywhere. With 2019 looking like it is shaping Up to address some of our needs on defense, I would be tempted to see my vision realized with some solid pass rush to make the tampa-2 hybrid come to full fruition.

He also probably needs to wait for QB whisperer fever to die down again.
