If the goal was to not hire him, then yes, that is a fail. If we interviewed him and determined that we didn't want him, then no that is not a fail. That is just going through the process.

I would consider it a minor fail if we wanted him and then didn't get him. It's hard to call something a fail if the person just didn't choose you.

That's true. If given the choices available, Cleveland would not have been my first choice.

But if Haslam decided not to hire McCarthy, it appears he's more concerned with being dazzled in the interview process than hiring a proven winner. Yes, I would call that too a fail.

Or McCarthy wasn't the right hire. Given his history I would not bet on Jimmy Haslam making the correct choice.

He probably wasn't the right choice for Haslam. He's won too many games and has a SB ring not to mention all the playoff wins and appearances. Haslam wouldn't want that guy because he probably didn't say all the right things.

McCarthy was/is definitely saying all the right things in the press. Also, shouldn't it be the goal of an interview to say all the right things? If McCarthy didn't say all the right things in the interview isn't that a bad thing? Resume should be considered but if teams are hiring off resume alone then there would never be any first time head coaches and Brian Billick would getting interviewed for every job.

Doing the right things is more important than the ability of being able to dazzle in an interview. It's funny, over the past 20 years the Cowboys have been far more successful than the Browns. Yet Sashi was great and McCarthy was right for the Cowboys but wrong for us. Success means nothing if you don't dazzle Haslam in the interview.

Only in Cleveland can people make up that kind of BS.

Exactly. McDaniels was a proven head coach with a SB ring and more than likely would have been fine having Wolf as the GM. No way the Browns wanted him. He knew what he was doing. That's why they had to get rid of Dorsey. Once they figured out he knew how to draft and bring in real talent he HAD to GO!

Haslam will hire a head coach that has never done it before. Then let that inexperienced coach hire his own GM. It will be a dumpster fire.

Mike McCarthy was just fired a year ago for, allegedly, not doing the right things (by a highly competent organization).

It is definitely possible that McCarthy was right for the Cowboys but not right for the Browns.

Haslam is a bad owner. He will probably get this wrong. We all have a sickness.

Rodgers pulled the plug on McCarthy. The team had to go with Rodgers or McCarthy. They chose to side with the disgruntled golden boy.

As a result the golden boys stats weren't any better this season.

The team also went 6-10 with Aaron Rodgers at QB. That might be a fireable offense by itself.

If you are running an offense that your QB thinks is bad and doesn't suit him that is a bad thing, right? Isn't that what we just complained about all season with Freddie Kitchens?

I would have no problem with Brian Billick becoming the next HC of the Browns. At least he knows how to BE a HC and has a SB ring to prove it. I don't WANT yet another first-time head coach. We have been down that road too many times. I want a coach that has actually been there before! McCarthy was perfect and that's why we didn't hire him. We could have kept the front office mostly intact with Wolf as GM. Nope, couldn't have that. We need to find the least experienced HC and then let him hire his own yes man GM. That always works out so well. *snicker* As long as Haslam owns the Browns they will always be the leagues dumpster fire franchise.

You mean the same offense that same QB won many many games in and won a SB in? The WCO that has dominated the league for 40 years or so? That offense? How can you even compare that with what Kitchens ran this year? McCarthy's offense had a winning record over time. They always scored a lot. Their problem was always on the D side.

So you're saying the team is intentionally not hiring people because they are too good for the job. Interesting strategy. I wouldn't put it past Jimmy Haslam though.

Again, current coaches in the NFL hired before the GM was hired:

Pete Carroll
Sean McDermott
Andy Reid
Jon Gruden
Kyle Shanahan (Lynch was technically hired first but Shanahan picked him)
Ron Rivera

McCarthy was also interviewed by Carolina (twice) and NYG and neither of those franchises offered him the HC job either.

It wasn't until he and Jerry had a pajama party that he was offered a job.

McCarthy was the perceived safe hire after the scars left by Freddie Kitchens.

From the B/R Magazine article...

Many believe Rodgers, the QB with the best career passer rating (103.1) in NFL history, was 100 percent justified in overruling his coach's play calls, and that the Packers would've deteriorated more precipitously if he hadn't put that cape on. The personnel man says the Packers' passing offense was essentially "Get open" and that they basically ran the same routes for seven years straight, to the point where division rivals "constantly" called out plays pre-snap and jumped routes.

No wonder the slant route, once so lethal, went extinct.

Where were the route combinations? The motion? The misdirection? "It's like, 'Dude, you have to adjust! The league changes!'" the personnel man says. "You've got to be humble enough to follow it. If you can't adapt, you die. He definitely didn't adapt. You can't run 90 back-shoulders into coverage. I don't care who you are. Things got so stale."

Rodgers had no choice but to seize control, and each year, he took more.

That ridiculous throw to Jared Cook in the playoffs in 2017? Drawn up in the huddle. Rodgers told an uncovered guard to pull out with him, that he'd bait in a defender and dash left.

So. Just asking did not read the thread. Dallas got McCarthy... Did they satisfy the Rooney rule? I am a little bitter that now we are left with a bunch of unproven coordinators again....

Ahah. Thanks.


Einstein could not even fathom the mathematical improbabilities of the Browns woes.

I always find it funny that when we don’t get a player or coach, it’s the Browns failing. What if, by chance, the Cowboys made him a bigger offer for a longer deal? Or he doesn’t like the climate here? Or he doesn’t like the city as much? Or the fishing is better?

We can never know, but we sure can bitch.

Sometimes it's just that simple.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I'm sure everyone realizes this, but I'll say it anyway.

There are a lot of people on this board, and just about as many different opinions. It's easy to lump posts/opinions together and it sounds like everyone is whining about everything.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

With all of the great coaching talent brought in over the past 20 yesrs, why would we do that?

Or McCarthy wasn't the right hire. Given his history I would not bet on Jimmy Haslam making the correct choice.


The odds greatly favor the blind squirrel at this point ... thumbsup

Hue brings another one down lol


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
