I just find it odd that the D intercepted Brady three times and the offense only got three points out of it. Somehow that rests on Pettine?

It sure sounds like they're looking for a fall guy more than they're holding the people responsible for the loss accountable.

Wow ... but I'd rather have Stefanski. I know I wouldn't have wanted Gase, and I don't know enough about the new Eagles HC to know if I'd want him or not - but based on this? He's clearly on a steep learning curve and that sometimes doesn't matter how good he can be, it's how good is he this season and next.

He was a fine defensive coordinator.

He wasn't a good head coach but who knows how much of that was him fighting Farmer daily.

Working in dysfunction can make good people look bad.

I am not arguing it was the right thing, or even fair, if fair factors in to such decisions. I am just telling you how it is.

My question is 'why?'.

Every time I look at the title of this thread it reminds me of:

Bowel Movements

Great work cfrs.

I'm curious as to why would they interview Jim Leonhard - wasnt he Pettine's second in command at Buffalo and here?

Secondly, I dont really care - we arent looking for a DC. Or a GM, HC, QB. Lovely quietness.

You’re thinking of Jim O'Neil.

This is relevant to us because they are interviewing our defensive line coach.

.......

Wasn't Jim Leonhard the safety we had during the Mangini years? He was like a slightly more athletic (if older) Sendejo, and we had him in at punt returner because he would just catch the ball and take a knee.

Yes, and he was stated to be a coach on the field during his time in the NFL. No surprise with Leonhard..

Coming from SuperBrown this is a compliment because every time I see SuperBrown I think of bowel movements as well.

So when you see Cleveland Browns you think of bowel movements as well too?

Come on! Give me your usual smart a$$ answer.

Ah!!! Yes, thank you!

Gotcha. I always root for guys like this. He was a solid if unspectacular starter when he was playing for us. Filled a role and did what was asked of him on a team that was really short on talent.

It may be moot in your point, but Jim Leonhard was brought in for 1 year by Pettine, not Mangini. Leonhard had played for Pettine in Buffalo the previous year. Sendejo was supposed to be a rotational guy familiar with the system. That changed with Delpit's injury. Sendejo was then asked to be the #1 FS, a role for which he was too old. I'm not sure why the Browns didn't sign someone better suited to be the starter. Surely there was someone available who could have done better.

I think the Mangini and Pettine eras might be mixing together in my brain. Thanks for the clarification.

The NFL has gone full-XFL/WWE.

I miss the 70's. The NFL was the greatest then.

Now it is just an embarrassment.

BLM, Social Justice Warriors and not respecting our flag.

Very sad.

Which has zero to do with the actual game itself.

So the game was much better when players shut their mouths and just played.. Unless they speak up about things you are in favor of personally

If you want to put it that way, sure.
Their job is to play football and entertain us. I could not possibly care less about their opinions on ANYTHING outside of football.

he's not gonna last very long...

Sure he is. How will he lose if his opponents have no knee caps?

Now his teeth on the the other hand....

It’s going to be a spectacular disaster.

You never know, but he does need to learn to talk like a head coach.

Maybe you say that to your players in private meetings to express your attitude, but not in a opening press conference.

He sounds like Freddie with an attitude... still dumb as a stump though.

Maybe not dumb, but well versed, not.

Randomly clicked a link on Miami's new co-OCs (Studesville and Godsey) and came across this nugget:

Charlie Frye is their new QB coach. link

Good for CHarlie.. Good guy... Wish him well

I find that interesting. He's a good person and it always seemed like his teammates liked him, but he really struggled reading coverages. Maybe he can do it better from a coaching perspective.

But he had tiny hands.

Chuck can read them just fine on the chalkboard...do they even use those anymore?

Most coaches ended up not being very good pro players, but they know the game. Probably true in most sports.

agreed... always liked Charlie....

Too bad he was absolutely terrible as a Pro QB.

and yet would probably not be in our top 10 worst QBs in the last 20 years

He would be in my list. He was flat awful. He ran himself into tons of sacks, and couldn't read a defense to save his life. He had a weak arm to boot. Of all of the traits that make up a good QB ..... he missed them all.

BUT he had "moxie"!
