DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Browns HC Search Part II

Anyone can change a wiki page. It usually gets changed right back.

NYG hired a guy we had no interest in. Zero impact to our search.

Panthers hired a guy the Browns had zero interest in.

Redskins hired a guy we had zero interest in.

Dallas hired a guy we were interested in. He was my top choice. But - he's the ONLY guy who was on the Brown's radar who is off the board. And I doubt whether McCarthy was our guy -- and if he was I don't think the Browns were his choice.

It's like were in the first round of the draft with the 5th pick ..... we know for a fact that Dallas is taking McCarthy with the first pick .... and we know that picks 2-3-4 are going to be guys that we do not want .... and you someone thinks we should trade up to #2 anyway.

Not sure we can say we had no interest in Rivera. we didn't interview him...but no one else got to interview him either...

Or Rhule. I thought he turned down the request.

Stefanski = Freddie Kitchens 2.0

That's fair - but he does not seem to fit the profile of what we want. Again, I would have liked him.

J/C.

The last time the Browns waited to get their HC after the Super Bowl was Romeo Crennel...

I don't think the Haslams screwed it up last year. Dorsey hired Freddie, they didn't. I could probably say the same with Chud. I don't think they were ever comfortable with that hire.

Pettine and Hue were on Haslam. Not sure if I am missing anybody,,,Chud replaced who? LOL...can't keep track.

Now, I suppose you could argue that Haslam screwed it up because he hired John, who hired Freddie.

Shouldn’t that be 0.5?

I have to agree, and it hurts to say that. I liked the idea of Freddie Kitchens as coach of the Browns.

It's called panic attack.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if you tripped and skinned your knee.

You have talked to the majority of the fan base? I call BS.

What have we blown? Nobody knows squat, yet we have blown it....BS on that.

True. After posting what I did, it has now been changed about 20 times, but if you go back in the history to the revision I was talking about, it was changed by a person that seems to make a ton of changes to coaches profiles

So they are either making those changes as part of a job, or they have a very strange hobby.

I'm voting for "very strange hobby".
It isn't surprising in the least.

It's already been changed back.

There is a lot of angst around here, even more on Facebook. We have no control over the outcome. Breath and relax, it will all be over soon and we can move onto complaining about everything else.

I'm still gonna say it's McDaniels at this point.

The Haslam's own the Browns. They have the final say over approving everything and signing the checks. However, blaming the underlings worked so well for him at Pilot Flying J, I'm not surprised that same tactic is being employed now.

McCarthy is stale bread. It got to where Rodgers couldn't work with his stale ass anymore. Why would you want that? Bill Billick won a Superbowl. Why not pimp him?

I think you just argue because you think it's cool. I consider you a friend. We have met 3-4 times. We had a friendly bet which I lost and I promptly sent you $50. Your friend Jaft was in the hospital, I sent flowers to his room. I can say that to you because you know I am not just some blowhard on a message board.

McCarthy wanted Dallas, and got it. Rivera was hired maybe even before we canned Freddie.

I think the last thing we needed to do was hire the first swinging member to cross our path.

Watching the Keystone Cops at work does not inflict panic.

Actually it's the The 3 Stooges,Jimmy,Paul and JW.

I had no idea that Rodgers knew what it tales to be a good NFL HC. If you wish to stick up for the opinion of yet another spoiled NFL player, have at it.

Rodgers numbers are no better under the new HC.

I know it wouldn't be very "Browns of me" to want a proven winner who has a SB ring and made several playoff appearances.

I became lost as of late ; Is Saleh out of the picture now ??

Holmgren had a Superbowl ring. They don't impress me all that much.

I am glad they have them, but that doesn't meant squat moving forward.

Bill has more than anybody....at least I think so. It doesn't mean he gets another. I might even bet he doesn't.

McCarthy's problem is that he thought he'd made it after the Super Bowl, and he stopped keeping up with the times. He kept trying to do the same things that other teams had figured out. It's looking more and more like the "changes" he was going to make might have been all for show and getting the job.

Officially no. Like Stefanski and Roman, they are on playoff teams playing today.

You gave one example. Do you know how many examples I can provide? And thats just with the Browns.

You mean you're going to tell me that BB moving forward with a 43 year old QB or trying to break in a rookie QB, at his age, may not get another ring? Do tell.

It seems you prefer the flavor of the month instead. You want to bet who does better? McCarthy in Dallas or which ever leftover the Browns hire?

Seems like you want to give 'peen his 50 bucks back...

I'd say he's certainly still in the picture...

Flavor of the month. That's ripe.


I was telling you about QB's like Mahomes, Baker, Jackson, Wilson, etc 15 years ago....how it was the wave of the future. You and most of the board laughed....well, now I am laughing.

The future is here, and guess what? I was right.

Now, it takes pro coaches who can coach those guys to their strengths. Stale, old coaching isn't going to get it done. The next wave you are going to see if guys like Belicheck retire to be replaced by Lincoln Reilley, Dabo Sweeny types.

Learn to see trends. Take you shot, and profit. I did.

Have I ever told you I love McDonalds? I love McDonalds. I know some know the story. Let's just say McDonald's is the APPLE of my eye, or under a SOFTMICRO scope.

Post of the year.

Thank you sir ! .. After McCarthy , he has been my number 1 ..

So no bet on whether the new Browns hire has a better overall record with the Browns than McCarthy has with Dallas?

I believe I saw if Saleh was hired we could see Mike McDaniel as OC and Gus Bradley as DC. 2 good coordinators... these are factors when hiring a HC and perhaps it boosted Saleh to the top?

That combination sounds really nice to me. I mentioned before, McDaniel would mean Shanahan's Offense. And I can't think of a better Offense for Baker, Chubb, and Hunt. (Not to mention Landry and OBJ)

But not sure how he could get Gus Bradley as that is a lateral move from the Chargers...unless they ad Assistant HC to the title...(Same with others notion of Schwartz as DC)

I never said that. Dallas has better talent.

Is it their QB? Their WR's? Their RB situation? I don't think their talent is any better at all. It's a nice jab at Dorsey but we have plenty of talent. Still some holes to fill but we have the skill positions to fill in around like we've never had before. But then you already know that.

All 11 days of it? Thanks
