No doubt, but still fierce when provoked.

The only thing about that that upsets me is that we hired Hue Jackson and not Tony Dungy

Raising daughters myself I think this is awesome.

And say what you want about the Haslams...I myself am no fan at all...but they put their money where their mouth is when it comes to hiring the best person regardless of race, color, gender.

I think it's fantastic.

That's a woman?

What is wrong with you?

If you're going to make a list you're going to need a new pen and new tablet.

You know you asked yourself the same thing.

I wondered if they put the wrong pic on there. Should I feel guilty for that?

I probably would have thought the same if I hadn’t heard of her story before

Congrats! Do yourself proud! I was surprised to see it, but own it all.

Win some!

j/c:

Waiting on the the formal Joe Woods hire....

Cue the fan that will say, "We can't hire this guy, he was part of a defense that just gave up 21 points in the final 6 and a half minutes of the super bowl!"

facepalms .. expecting the same thing ...

Cue the fans saying that they wish WE could do that once. But hope it is true.

JC: I'm excited about all the hires. The biggest thing concerning me is no QB Coach yet.

I don't like the idea of Alex Van Pelt being OC and QB Coach. I want one or the other. Isn't QB Coach/Asst Head Coach/O Coordinator what Pep Hamilton did here with Hue Jackson?

I'd rather hire someone specifically for Baker Mayfield. One task, not two

Pep Hamilton was the Associate Head Coach/Quarterbacks Coach. Hue Jackson was the offensive coordinator.



I'm guessing we hire a QB coach it just hasn't been announced yet. We have several spots "still open".

Head coach - Kevin Stefanski
Chief of staff – Callie Brownson
Senior offensive assistant/offensive line – Bill Callahan
Offensive coordinator – Alex Van Pelt
Quarterbacks – ???
Run game coordinator/running backs – Stump Mitchell
Wide receivers – Chad O'Shea
Tight ends – Drew Petzing
Assistant offensive line – ???
Offensive quality control – ???
Offensive quality control – ???

Defensive coordinator – Joe Woods
Defensive line – ???
Assistant defensive line – ???
Linebackers – Fred Pagac
Defensive backs/passing game coordinator – Jeff Howard
Senior defensive assistant – ???
Defensive quality control – ???
Defensive quality control – ???

Special teams coordinator – Mike Priefer
Assistant special teams – Doug Colman

We can't hire this guy, he was part of a defense that just gave up 21 points in the final 5*** and a half minutes of the super bowl!

Wouldn't that be the guy some wanted as HC rather than the guy reported to be our DC?

Don't worry about that guy.

One game doesn't make or break anything. Only fools think that, I don't think you the fool.

Can't wait for him do get that chance w/ US!!

Just saying I'd pin it on Saleh IF I were to attempt blame of anyone.

Must be the only one to put the oneness on Shanny's play calling in the fourth quarter. Had the lead and just needed to eat up time and keep The Chiefs O on the bench ..

Why is there a part of me that feels like this would be an improvement for us?

As a big proponent of female sports and women in sports, I have zero problem with a qualified woman getting a spot on the coaching staff. I do question how ANYONE went from being an intern to being chief of staff and question the reason why

Yeah, poor Shanny caught Fred Kitchen's Disease and decided to go all pass happy when the run had been working all day.

Actually, the Niners leading rusher was WR Deebo Samuels, on 3 gadget plays. You can only go to that well so many times. Their standard run game was below their average. KC's defense did a good job on Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman, holding them both to 86 yards. I'm not sure why they didn't use Matt Breida. (Maybe he's hurt, but I hadn't heard about it.) In other words, the Niners run game was not its usual productive self.

I think "chief of staff" is just a fancy title for a position that is a combination of gofer and secretary.

I think it is also pretty much the same route as Stefanski. He interned with the Eagles for a year, and then he was assistant to the HC/chief of staff for Childress in Minnesota. Moved to assistant-position coach after a couple years, and moved around/up from there.

I think Chief of Staff is a bit of a misrepresentation. I don't think she is like the White House Chief of staff, who holds much power.

In a way she will function like that. Maybe all requests from the press have to go through her and not the press calling the coach directly.

She isn't the boss over the entire staff. Being some type of coordinator would probably a more accurate description of what she actually does. She will relay information from the coach to other coaches as an example, or it could be reverse. Maybe Stefanski wants to sit in on the receiver meeting that day but also wants to know what was being discussed in the running back room, so she sits in on the meeting and reports back. That gives her good experience in dealing with the various coaching rooms.

Hey MAC look Callie Brownson is second in charge of coaching the team. I mean her name is right behind Stefanski's so it must be true.

*Still not officially hired

4 things to know about new Browns DC Joe Woods

Joe Woods is the new defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. The team hired Woods immediately after he coached the DBs for the San Francisco 49ers on their impressive playoff run, culminating in the team’s tough loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl LIV.

Woods, 49, brings quite a bit of experience to the position. Here are four things to know about the new Browns DC.

He’s coached a lot of really good DBs
Starting his NFL career in Tampa Bay in 2004, Woods jumped into a defense featuring CB Ronde Barber. Woods helped elevate Barber back to being a first-team All-Pro after a couple of prior down seasons. He also coached up Brian Kelly and Dwight Smith into their best career years with the Bucs.

Moving onto Minnesota, he was in charge of Antoine Winfield and Darren Sharper. Winfield had his first three Pro Bowl seasons under Woods’ tutelage. Sharper had one of the greatest seasons of any safety in the Super Bowl era in 2009, notching three pick-sixes among his league-best nine INT and 15 PDs to go with 71 tackles.

In his one season in Oakland with the Raiders, he caught the end of Charles Woodson’s illustrious career. He also coached current Browns slot CB, T.J. Carrie, in that 2014 season.

Moving onto Denver, Woods worked with Chris Harris and turned him from an above-average player into one of the best CBs in the NFL. They captured a Super Bowl in 2015 together. Woods also coached former Browns safety T.J. Ward, as well as All-Pro CB Aqib Talib and Pro Bowl safety Darian Stewart in his four years in Denver. Young Justin Simmons, a pending free agent, emerged under his watch as well.

Of course, handling Richard Sherman in San Francisco in 2019, as well as a resurgent Jimmie Ward, is another feather in Woods’ coaching cap.

Prior coordinating experience
This will not be Woods’ first rodeo as an NFL defensive coordinator. He held that title for two seasons in Denver, 2017-2018. He earned the promotion to the position under head coach Vance Joseph, himself a DBs coach.

Denver didn’t thrive in those two seasons, but it’s hard to blame Woods and the defense. They finished in the top 10 in turnovers created in both seasons and were a top-5 run defense in his first year.

He’s coached in Northeast Ohio before
Woods spent one season as the DBs coach at Kent State back in 1997. It was his first position as a D-I college coach, following stints at Northwestern State in Louisiana and Grand Valley State in Michigan.

His time in Kent was brief. After a dismal 3-8 season, Woods was fired along with the rest of Jim Corrigall’s staff. That 3-8 record was the best the Golden Flashes had in a decade, by the way…

He’s had some impressive mentors along the way
His first season in Minnesota was spent under the guiding eye of Mike Tomlin, his last season with the Vikings before taking over as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Leslie Frazier took over for Tomlin, tweaking the 4-3 scheme a bit to feature more man coverage on the outside. Woods and Frazier were an excellent team as defensive coaches.

Woods saw the other side of the schematic coin working under Wade Philips in Denver. Philips is a 3-4 guru. He got back to the 4-3 roots under Robert Saleh in San Francisco, though with a lot more zone coverage behind the dominant rush front than Woods’ prior defenses played.

It will be interesting to see how much his coaching mentors influence what Woods chooses as his style of defense in Cleveland.

Yep....all the asst. coaches report to her. She tells them what scheme they need to run. LOL

That's only AFTER DePodesta tells her what he wants ran..

No, no, no. She only gathers data and provides it to all the coaches.

It's official...

Oh hell no that can't be true her name is listed under the head coaches on the internet.
