Two years with Chip Kelly having apparently washed the Browns off of him, Pat Shurmur is up for a head coaching job again.

According to Tim McManus pf PhillyMag.com, Shurmur has been granted permission and will interview for the Raiders opening.

The 49-year-old Shurmur had a 9-23 record as the Browns head coach, though hindsight tells us it wasn’t all his fault.

But spending the last two years as the offensive coordinator for Kelly and the Eagles have gotten him back to his previous status as rising assistant coach, before he inflicted Cleveland upon himself.

Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie worked with Shurmur’s uncle Fritz in Green Bay, so there’s a built-in familiarity there.
