    If there is one NFL owner who would hire him to stick it to the other NFL owners, it'd probably be Haslam.

    Stop it with the Gruden.  🙂  

    He's a dope.  There ain't anybody interviewing him.  And a third of the league needs a HC.

    Sure.  Because why would anyone want to work for the Haslam families when there are plenty of other options?

    At what point does Schwartz feel insulted by Dumb and Dumber in this HC search?  He really needed 2 interviews?PROMOTE the guy already and let him hire his OC.

    Turns out, you should be careful what you wish for. 

    Oh, for the Fantasy Football group - if it isn't Gibbs, Bijan is 1.01 now. 

    Does a world exist in which McDermott is hired amd retains Schwartz as DC?

    Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I understand...but it speaks volumes.  This is the youngest, least experienced guy, looking for his first HC gig...and tells Haslam, Nah, I already talked with you...ain't no way I'm working for you.

    I saw a video clip of Haslem answering questions.  He was trying to show that he's an unsatisfied fan too by his tone, body language, while saying that winning 8 games in 2 years is unacceptable.  'I understand that, just like you passionate fans do'.  

    In firing only Stefanski, and acting so upset, he's saying, AND IT'S ALL THAT GUY'S FAULT,  like a spoiled little brat.  The guy that got a team to the playoffs having to play almost the whole season with some of the worst QB's I've ever seen a team have to start.....HE deserves to be labeled as the problem?  

    We're not the only ones who know that Stef didn't have a QB, OLine or WR's for the last two years plus.  (Syd)  Thus it was impossible for a coach to come up with much more than that.  The agents research the teams for their clients.  They tell 'em the lay of the land.  

    I understand that Stef has been here for several years, we're not winning, it's a good time to make a change...But don't ever, at the podium, make it seem like it was all the HC's fault.  Because in reality, it's your fault.  It's YOUR decision making, interceding, involvement with the actual 'football people' in the organization that is constantly stunting what the 'football people' want to do.  -  He's a freakin' dope!  I'm pissed.  Mrs. Wife is out.  I'm gonna grab a Gibson and crank the amp!!!

    WELL said!   And his little tea sipper assistant wants everyone to think the same about him too.  After all, he went to Harvard like Sashi Eats-Sushi did too he gave us 1 good draft the entire duration their Scapegoat Stefanski had was sentenced to it.

    As much as I don't want McDaniel - I applaud the guy for his fraud-radar. It's time we come to grips here.  While they're insulting Schwartz with a 2nd Interview - they don't even understand who he is or HOW the defense LOVED playing heir asses off for him despite the record.  Those guys had fun despite circumstance. The 2 spoiled tea sippers are so far removed from understanding how to compete in their own division that they just totally screwed up what should have been an easy promotion.  I wouldn't blame Schwartz if he took another job; but I hope we keep him somehow.  This is what it feels like rooting for a team that says "NO THANKS" to divine intervention trying to help it.

    Unfortunately Yes.  The World According to Jimmy Haslam and his Chief Executive Suck-up Andrew Berry would love to insult Schwartz 1 more time by denying him the promotion.  What kind of organization makes a well respected employee deserving of a promotion need interview twice for it?

    Did the Browns just have a player get the all time single sack record?  Did they just have a LBer earn NFL Rookie of the Year honors?  And didn't another rookie DT get named to the All NFL All Rookie Team?  Didn't Denzel Ward and Myles Garrett earn another Pro Bowl honor?  Despite the record of the team - what side of the ball had the most fun working together on Sundays?  The only 2 people affiliated with this team (inclusive of all us diehards) that are completely unaware of all that are Haslam and Berry...

  • If we can't attract McDaniels we can forget about McDermott. New HC will most likely be one of the young kids: Udinski or Scheelhaase, Schwartz is a distant 3rd. Buckle up we either get our own Chuck Knoll or everything's blown up in 2 years.

    Who knows what they'll do MDD.  This next part isn't aimed at you.

    So all those wanting to get rid of the "Yes Sir" types never understand what will be hired in place of the last "Yes Sir" type.  HINT: the very next "Yes Sir" type but shhhh!    Let's let them learn the hard way because Andrew Berry couldn't possibly be the biggest "Yes Sir" man on the planet.  In Philly, they have a GM with total autonomy from a proven track record to where the owner listens to him with great respect.  In Cleveland, they have 2 Knuckleheads (Owner & Chief Execute Suck-up) that want to try to outsmart any divine intervention coming their way to help them.  Only in Cleveland...

    I'm curious at the level of support for Gruden.    His last two turns were pretty abysmal, with his last seeing the Raiders collapse down the stretch in back to back years.

  • I can't say I'm surprised that absolutely no one wants to coach this team. The GM is a liability....the owner is a huge liability. I really don't see any light at the end of the tunnel here. These 2 morons are going to continue doing the same thing they always do. Apparently, Haslam doesn't care about being viewed as a complete loser, and dragging a once proud team and fanbase down with him. So, why would any legitimate HC take this job? They wouldn't....unless they are so arrogant they think they could turn this organization around, in spite of the handicap.

    I would love for some sleazy hidden heinous act be discovered about Jimmy so the league can do to him what they did to get rid of Dan Snyder(Commanders)... Only then can there be light at the end of the tunnel..

    I'm picking up what you're putting down.

    If Schwartz is named HC, who do we want as OC?

    Who are viable names that can be OL Coach?

    I thought Callahan had interest in coming back to Cleveland, following KS to Atlanta stings a bit.

    I get it, I get it the staff tend to be more loyal to the HC than the franchise but still.

    If I'm Jimmy Haslam, I'm looking in the mirror as to why my organization sucks. 

    Then again, maybe he doesn’t care. He spent $1B to buy the team and could probably squeeze $6.5B-$7B in value, plus he's got a new stadium coming.

    It's not Congress-type return on investment but it's still enough to not have to feed the family Kraft Macaroni and Cheese every night.

    And a Well Said to you too Sir!  I felt the same way watching the games.  Our defense knew that the offense sucked and that they weren't going to win many games.  But they had 'fun' going out there and saying to the opposing offense, We're gonna kick your asses until the refs tell us the games over.  And we're gonna ENJOY it!'  Honest to God that's what it looked like to me,

    It's not Congress-type return on investment but it's still enough to not have to feed the family Kraft Macaroni and Cheese every night.

     I'll start with the part in bold above.  As someone I enjoy reading and conversing with in here - if you were Jimmy you would be smart enough to do an honest self-evaluation and needs assessment before your annual program planning. However, that's why you're not Jimmy.  He hasn't done this yet; and when they fail again now he has to FINALLY hire a new GM where he will have to include him in on inevitably hiring another HC.  This is the world we fans of this team live in.

    The OC? The new HCs already getting hired will beat us to the best OC candidates.  The best one possible we can possibly hire? I can't help but thinking that Schwartz easily has the best football reputation and most respect from other NFL franchises within our current leadership.  I'll guarantee Schwartz learned far more from his experience under a Competent NFL Owner in tandem with one of the best NFL GMs in Philly. Networking old buddies on other teams shouldn't be a problem to learn/hear about some great offensive coaches ready to be NFL OCs or OL Coaches.  Whoever our HC is - will have to overcome the reputation Dumb & Dumber has caused here.  It sounds like all those coaches that McDaniel would have brought with him said "Any place but the Dumpster fire in Cleveland" that only wants "Yes Sir" only prospects.  They may not even want Schwartz hoping he quits if they don't offer him the job.

    Until Berry is finally gone we have a whole draft to waste ahead of us.  If Schwartz goes - watch what that does to the morale of those that enjoyed working together and having fun every Sunday regardless of the outcome.  It's getting more difficult to watch Haslam repeat the same mistakes every time he fires another scapegoat with no solid hiring criteria in tact for filling the spot.

    It think we know the answer to that however as an inexperienced coach he may appreciate that our defense is already established so he'll only need to focus on the offense. Bills defense needs a lot of work.

    I like Joe Brady a lot….odd move to me to get rid of a successful coach and an up and coming OC for unknown albeit popular up and coming offensive guru.  
     

    Brady has reputation for highlighting the run game something that it is engrained in our DNA.  I don’t know why he’s not on our list…given some other names that I see
