It's normal to turn to dear, old dad for some sage advice on career moves.
When the dad is a two-time Super Bowl-winning coach, a son contemplating a major move in his coaching career might sprint to pops for words of wisdom. You can only think that's exactly what new Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan did when he was tossing around the idea of accepting the post offered by coach Mike Pettine.
Shanahan's father Mike, who led the Denver Broncos to Super Bowl wins in the 1997 and '98 seasons, should have told his son to be very careful. It's rare when a coach runs the gauntlet that is being a Browns coach without emerging on the other side a little worse off.
When Kyle was introduced to the media Thursday, he sat between new defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil and special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, a member of former coach Rob Chudzinski's staff. Of the three men, Kyle was undoubtedly sitting on the warmest seat.
Being offensive coordinator of the Browns is one of the most scrutinized jobs in Cleveland, following that of the head coach and mayor, in that order. Fans, as they are in all NFL cities, are unforgiving and impatient. If the offense puts up just two field goals in the first game of the 2014 season, radio talk shows will have a surge in ratings all day Monday because of criticism from angry fans.
It could be worse for Kyle than it was for Norv Turner, who held the job for one season before exiting after Chudzinski was fired. Turner had the advantage of being respected as one of the best offensive minds in the NFL.
Shanahan brings 10 years of experience at the tender age of 34, and there have been some successful moments. Most notably, the 2012 Washington Redskins were fifth in total offense under his direction, an accomplishment made more impressive because the stars - quarterback Robert Griffin III and running back Alfred Morris - were rookies.
When Kyle breaks down tape of what he has to work with next season, there won't be many wow moments once he's done studying receiver Josh Gordon. When he gets to the rest of the talent-depleted receiving corps, along with the running backs and quarterbacks, he might want to reconsider his commitment to the Browns.
No one knows at this time who will line up at quarterback when the season opens. Odds seem to favor Brian Hoyer, who had a short but successful two-game run before suffering a knee injury last year. Then again, it could be one of the hot-shot rookies expected to be drafted early - perhaps Johnny Manziel or Teddy Bridgewater.
Kyle's first challenge working with a rookie would be to learn from any mistakes he may have made in his dealings with RG III. Media reports have characterized the relationship as borderline frosty, a situation that was made worse when Kyle's dad benched Griffin late in the season in favor of Kirk Cousins.
"Robert and I did some good things together. I'm really proud of that first year," Kyle said. "He challenged me because I had to do some things I hadn't done before.
"Going into that second year was a challenge. Anytime you go through a 3-13 season, it's a challenge for your relationship. With a high-profile guy there's a lot more stuff that comes out. We managed to keep our relationship through the year. I'm not going to say it was easy, but I believe going through it, it will make Robert and I better in the long run."
The crazy thing is that dealing with RG III might seem easy after one year of working with "Johnny Football."

Lance Armstrong and girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting their first child together, the cycling champ tells PEOPLE.
"Anna and I are thrilled to confirm that we are expecting in June and our families are ecstatic and grateful," he says in a statement. "We are very much looking forward to what 2009 brings on many fronts."
He adds: "We appreciate respecting our privacy, as we are both eager to celebrate the holidays as a family."
Armstrong, 37, who won seven straight Tour de France races after battling testicular cancer, announced in September his return to professional cycling and the Tour de France next year.
He has three children, Luke, 9, and twins Isabella and Grace, 7, with ex-wife Kristin (they divorced in 2003). The children were conceived through in vitro fertilization with sperm frozen prior to Armstrong undergoing chemotherapy.
The pregancy was first reported by PerezHilton.com.

You may feel ambitious today and prepared to do what it takes to bring about positive change. Maybe you're rethinking your personal or professional goals and imagining what your ideal scenarios would be in these areas of your life. You might want to think about sitting quietly today to ponder how you'd like your life to look in the future. Project yourself to one month, one year, or five years from now. It may serve you to be as optimistic as possible as you consider the possibilities. Your thoughts and attitude will influence the quality of anything that you create in your life.
Optimistically assessing our goals allows us to affect positive life changes. There are no limits to the goals we can set for ourselves. Each different facet of our lives has the potential to grow and improve until they evolve into the grandest and noblest of our desires. If we can cheerfully search within ourselves to determine what it is we most desire, we place ourselves on the path toward manifesting that very reality. Our thinking, even in its most initial stages, is the launching point for every action we will take and every change that results. Take a look at your life circumstances today, be hopeful as you set goals, and you will manifest a wealth of positive life changes.

Our Dog, No Name
Just Looking at Dogs
You may have already noticed if you follow me on Instagram. But we got a dog. Last November, we attended a birthday party at an animal rescue. Then, soon after that, I was ready for a dog again, just like that. Like NOW NOW NOW!! I WANT A DOG NOW!!!!! That's what Isabelle has been asking me to draw about: our new dog. So, I'm slowly working towards that story…in comics.
I Miss Making
I'm not making any promises that I'm coming back to this space. And I'm not saying, I'm going to try. That's just setting me up for failure. But I do miss having a creative outlet. Mostly it's only been Instagram. But I don't think it's enough.
Maybe that's why, when my homeschool group got together for a geography club, I happily went overboard creating a few things. I made passports for all the kids. Yes made. Designed it all, printed them all out, then hand bound each and every one of them with embroidery thread, all twenty!
Then I made stickers to "stamp" each passport.
And then, if that weren't enough, I HAD to make plane tickets. Yes HAD. As in I was compelled to and just couldn't stop making. I even ran the tickets thru my sewing machine to give them perforations.
Yep. Definitely miss making.

Rolls-Royce has cheered investors by handing back £1 billion after deciding against a big acquisition.
The engine maker had been examining a bid for Wartsila, the Finnish maker of ship and power plant engines, but said that it was instead returning to shareholders the proceeds of the sale of its energy gas turbine and compressor business to Siemens.
"As no material acquisitions are planned and reflecting the strength of our balance sheet, we will return the proceeds of the energy sale to our shareholders," John Rishton, the chief executive, said.

Former Miss Nevada Juliette Kimoto Scams Thousands of Americans, Beauty Queen Online Dietary Supplement Fraud Scammer
Juliette Kimoto was announced as crowned Mrs. Nevada in 2006. Her grace, beauty and elegance had many convinced that this stunning young woman would be a great ambassador for pageantry and a great role-model for teenaged girls nationwide. Blone and with a Japanese last name, the beautiful Nevada born and bred young woman had been married to her childhood sweetheart for over 12 years.
In addition to that, she was a mother of six, was a part of her church and volunteered to help at risk teens. There was one other small detail. Juliette Kimoto was allegedly part of an online dietary supplement scandal that robbed tens of thousands people of money over $30 million.
You can read about the saucy details of Juliette Kimoto here, but the main thing to realize is that we should ban beauty pagaents. All the women do is flash flesh and scheme everyone. These pageants are pointless, barbaric and demeaning to women. They distract women from their home duty and that's why I support the feminists in shutting all this pageant nonsense down.

If you're posh and planning a trip to Santa Barbara, and also happen to be a celiac you are in massive luck. I just spent the weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara, not on a luxury vacation but visiting my mother-in-law. It's one of a handful of trips I've made to SB since being diagnosed, and luckily, my MIL has done a lot of g-free research for me around Goleta and SB. So before I even arrived I was ahead of the game. Which is probably why Woody's (my husband's favorite BBQ restaurant in the whole world) was probably not the first place our family should have gone out to eat, but we did.
Like a lot of barbecue sauce, Woody's has soy sauce as an ingredient. We know because they picked up the bucket and checked. That's right, a bucket. My husband's favorite barbecue comes from a bucket. So I went for the celiac special — a burger without a bun — and the rest of my family enjoyed a gluten-filled meal. Oh yeah, and this:
Which is why I included Woody's in this round-up. Because that place is a blast, even if you totally can't eat there. Which you can't. So don't go.
One place you will want to frequent, however, is Simply Pies. Almost every one of their pie options is also made gluten-free and honestly, it's the most amazing pie crust I've ever tasted. My MIL brought me a lemon pie a few months ago, and I enjoyed this caramelized onion and mushroom quiche on this trip. That pie crust is truly inspiring. Look it: Continue reading
