Special Teams Coach Mike Priefer Fired
-
It’s not a good look shaking up the coaching staff going into Kev’s 4th season.
Its looking like Stefanski is getting a very short leash from Jimmah & DePud in 2023.
Unless things get turned around this year, it’s more than likely Kevin’s last year as HC.
Two things that will define you: Your determination when you have nothing. Your attitude when you have everything. - Mike McCartney -
It does make me wonder what took so long though...
Browns reportedly are interested in interviewing Bubba Ventone, an ex-Browns special teamer, to replace Priefer.
So long? SB was just the other day. It is literally the beginning of the off-season. If you were hoping for a dismissal in the course of the season, it makes getting a good replacement that much harder.
Apparently, is "highly-sought after." Makes you wonder if he would just skip teams for the same position. Browns background may help.
Schwartz was asked if he'd be making any assistant coaching changes at his original press conference, and pretty much he said, Who? Me? Those are Kevin's coaches. You'll have to ask him about his coaches. I was hired as the DC.
Fair enough. I still think Schwartz would have input.
I think he will have input, and was just being polite.

Joe Woods was fired January 9th.
Thus, I still wonder why it took the Browns until February 21st to finally pull the trigger on Priefer.

I agree even if I don't agree with the philosophy. DePud is THE problem in my eyes, kind of a middle-man between Berry & Stefanski, or Berry & Haslam...probably the latter.
I wish Stefanski well. Damnit we fans cannot continue to wait wait wait.
Turning to a new staff in 2024 virtually guarantees more waiting.

my guess is that they were waiting to see what kind of upgrade they could get unlike in years past where they would fire someone and have no plan in place

I don't know that Bubba Ventrone is an "UPGRADE" But he's an interesting Candidate..

I don't know that Bubba Ventrone is an "UPGRADE" But he's an interesting Candidate..
Ventrone, 40, has established himself as one of the best special teams coordinators in the NFL over the past five seasons in Indianapolis, annually presiding over excellent coverage and return units while simultaneously helping players like Zach Pascal, Zaire Franklin and Isaiah Rodgers develop from special teamers into valuable contributors on offense or defense
yes i would say he is a upgrade

When he wins multiple SB's... Let us know... So far... He's no better than the last dude

I mean just off the top of my head, Cleveland could do no less damage than Prief giving Josh Cribbs/ Jim Leonhard/ Bubba Vetrone/ Johnson Bademosi or
Zombo's greatest browns ever ST'er Tank Carder a ring.. ?
Can you continue to hold ?

I don’t see it that way.
Keep in mind coming into last season we had the entire staff in back…I believe for three seasons. That kind of continuity is rare in the NFL.
I was hoping…believing actually that the familiarity would be a huge bonus coming into last season.
Missing the playoffs while having Sluggish playcalling…in game collapses and namely the defense speaking out in season will be his undoing
We made necessary moves…kept our offensive line coach, got rid of the defensive coordinator and special teams coaches-sorry but we could attribute loses to those two

Now Kevin just needs to fire the offensive play caller.
Fisher just did that to himself at A&M and hired former Arky HC Bobby Petrino as his new OC/Playcaller.

Petrino is a prick... Can't stand him...

Can he fire DePodesta?
I say this...but actually, in principal, I agree with DePo in that I'd rather be a great passing team. I mean, all ya gotta do is look at who's hovering around championship games every year. (imagine if the 49'ers had a really good QB) But I think they force-applied it this past year to a team that didn't have the QB to play the roll of Josh Allen, or Burrow, or, etc. They should've been more conservative on the 4th down plays. They should've taken points in either flavor, FG or TD. And they should've leaned on the run as much as possible. It's nice to aspire to be a certain type of offense. But you've gotta live in the moment. You've gotta do what your current cast of characters is capable of doing best. - Now, it is possible, as the Ghoul suggests, that the Haslem/DePodesta team require Stef to coach and call plays the way they want (throw and be aggressive). Or maybe it's all on Stef. ??

If Watson pans out as expected, we won't miss the next 2 first rounders. That assumes we make the most of the picks we do have and find at least 2-3 starters over the next 2 drafts.
I think a big part of Berrys job these next two drafts is to not think so much about a players ceiling but rather to think about the floor. I don't like to say make safe picks, but that might be the only way to describe it.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

You needed to wait to see who might be available. Kind of like it not being smart to quit a job before you have a job.
