    He will be 1 and done. Take Berry with him too. 

    And remember... Todd Monken was the guy screaming at coaches on the field how the team was a mess before games back in 19 when he was a postion coach here... I find this highly comical...

    He was technically the OC in 2019.  Though Kitchens was the play caller, and by some reports dictating the O (ie Monken was OC in title only).

    yup...

     All they had to do was promote Schwartz and hire Monken as the OC; 

    That wasn't going to happen.   It was between CLE & NYG for Monken - but only one of those teams offered him the HC position.

    Yup.  If you are Monken and choosing OC job, work with Dart + Harbaugh or Schwartz pretty sure which choice i would make

  • Jim Schwartz is OUTTIE!

    he put the work in during the week and dipshit kitchens would deviate from what they worked on all week, no wonder the offense looked like crap

    you know I have said this before, But if they were serious about Schwartz they would have fired Stefanski weeks 8-12 ? and made him the interim coach,why some of you are so shocked is beyond me

    as I said the more beers I drink the more i like the hire

    edit: honestly I do like the hire over a young coach ( i mean to put him in with a kinda dreadful offense) he would be lost and the fan base would be calling for his head after week 10, better to stick with someone who has been around

    Well I guess I better catch up then 😉

  • This isn’t a move that is going to do a lot to excite the Browns fans. I get it.

    But he is a guy whose last year as a college head coach was very successful, then helped transform a Georgia team from a defense first program to one that was explosive enough on offense to win two national championships, then helped Lamar Jackson become a legitimate passer in the pros, but the last year was a struggle.

    He’s kind of the anti-Kevin Stefanski. He’s brutally honest and can rub people the wrong way. He’s never going to be considered a “players coach”.

    I was initially anti on the hire. After listening to Ross Tucker on 92.3 The Fan, I'm more optimistic.

    Conference USA Coach of the year after inheriting a winless team.  OC at Georgia, who were known as a defensive team, he got them offense. Did a good job with the dreaded Ratbirds. 

    Let it play out. Our frustration is the FO. Maybe they got something right for once.

    WELL SAID Bob!  I ran outta cyber thatta boys or you woulda got one here. Thanks for sharing that about what you heard from Ross Tucker.  He's had some very good success as an OC under strong Head Coaches.  I don't like Georgia's Kirby Smart but he's a very smart hard-nosed HC that the players play hard for.  Monken did a great job as an OC for him. As you pointed out - he did a good job under John Harbaugh in Baltimore.

    The thing I REALLY disliked about the whole thing today is they could have given Schwartz a heads up so he had a shot at working somewhere else (if someone didn't snap him up today).  It's the way Berry and Haslam do business that continue to show the rest of the league why Jimmy's team is where it is at today.

    That is one of the quirks on our board....I'm usually out of those upvotes by 9am lol.

    Yeah, it appears they did Schwartz dirty. I doubt it gets patched up damnit

    Hope you're feeling better!  Yeah, I felt I gave out a lot more kudos yesterday than I did today so it caught me off guard today.
