    I do agree he was all hype. I liked his "The Dude" look but he couldn't game plan at all and our D always lacked any type of adjustments.

    Example? First Baltimore game, Eric Wright gets burnt play after play, yet no help given to him or even pulling him and we lose the game because of it.

    I'd still trust that a guy who has had success as a pro coach would know what it takes to be a successful pro coach. I'm successful at my job and I'm extremely confident that I could interview and find someone who could be equally as successful.

    I have come to the conclusion that most Cleveland fans are a bunch of moaners.

    The reality is they don't know crap about any of the candidates yet they complain about picking coach X over coach Y.

    In the very beginning Holmgren said he very likely would be looking for a young coach. A guy they can give the ball and let him make his own destiny.

    When you think about it, most of the really good coaches were guys who weren't on the rebound from somewhere else.

    Here's an idea....maybe we should complain...say a year or two from now if things aren't looking good.

    For now, if he is indeed hired, just wait, watch, and listen.

    and not one of us know as much about football as the people in place. but there are always two sides to an argument. although browns fans want to win etc. all i've got to say to the people who couldn't wait another year to see if the mangini plan would work (and this includes holmgren)................

    TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

    ps don't say when people can complain or not. it seems like it was alright when you all wanted to complain.

  • Ahh...I never complained about Mangini. I like much of what he brought and said in many places I hoped he stayed.

    it was only after the Pittsburgh blow-out i was resolved to the fact he was going to get canned.

    Mangini left a fairly sound, disciplined football team.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • ... and the Browns get Pat Shurmur... a dome, WC, 2-yr OC with no HC experience... .... sigh ....

    Kinda liked his intro Press Conference comments, but knowing Daddy and having the same agent is no basis for picking a HC. We shall see...

    Now Rob (the good twin) Ryan goes to the 'Boys.... their gain.... while Holmgren stalks a 4 - 3 DC (Jauron, Wannstedt) that we do not have the personel to play...

    And so the experiment continues... I'm canceling my NFL Sunday Ticket.... let me know how it turns out.

  • And Rob Ryan is now the DC for Dallas.

  • WANNSTEDT TO BUFFALO - just heard it on the radio.

    CHANGE IS GOOD

  • Rob Ryan. The most overrated DC in Cleveland history. He wasn't even good at Oakland.

    Seriously.. people want to blast Shurmur for not getting results in STL, but suck Ryan's cock? When has he ever gotten results?

    :neutral_face:

  • ryan's d seemed to revolve around gimmicks and being over aggressive. there was no balance at all. big risk, big reward and that won't get you too far in the nfl.

    shurmur will have the benefit of working with holmgren and haskel. plus they all share the same philosophies on offense.

    The Browns have hired four assistants for Pat Shurmur's coaching staff: Mark Whipple (quarterbacks coach), Mike Wilson (wide receivers coach), Bill Davis (linebackers coach) and Dwaine Board (defensive line coach).

    Whipple and Wilson will try to help quarterback Colt McCoy and his targets develop while adjusting to the West Coast offense.

    Meanwhile, Davis and Board will assist defensive coordinator Dick Jauron, presumably throughout the team's expected switch from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3.

    The Browns reportedly had considered Whipple as an offensive coordinator candidate. But with Shurmur calling the offense's plays and Whipple filling another role, the team might not hire anyone to replace Brian Daboll after all.

    The Browns wouldn't be the first NFL team to go without an offensive coordinator. This season, the New England Patriots and the Arizona Cardinals, who used ''run game'' and ''passing game'' coordinators, did not name one.

    Whipple, a 53-year-old Tarrytown, N.Y., native, spent the past two seasons as an assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the University of Miami football team. He was fired after the Hurricanes ousted coach Randy Shannon at the end of the season.

    Whipple, who was a quarterback at Brown University, was also the quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers (2004-06) and an offensive assistant for the Philadelphia Eagles (2008). In his brief stint with the Eagles, Whipple worked with Browns General Manager Tom Heckert.

    Wilson, a 52-year-old Los Angeles native, spent the past two seasons as the wide receivers coach of the UFL's Las Vegas Locomotives. Wilson also spent three seasons (2004-06) with the Cardinals, for whom he coached tight ends and wide receivers. He played wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers (1981-90) during part of Browns President Mike Holmgren's tenure as the team's quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.

    Davis, a 45-year-old Youngstown native whose father worked with Heckert's father in the Browns' front office during the 1980s, was fired by the Cardinals last month after serving as their defensive coordinator for the past two seasons. The Cardinals' defense ranked 29th this season and 20th in 2009.

    Before joining the Cardinals as a linebackers coach in 2007, Davis was the defensive coordinator for the 49ers (2005-06). He has been an assistant coach in the NFL for 19 years, including one previous season as the Browns' linebackers coach (1999). Davis, who was a quarterback at the University of Cincinnati, started his coaching career by succeeding Shurmur, 45, as a graduate assistant coach at Michigan State University (1990-91).

    Board, a 54-year-old native of Rocky Mount, Va., spent the 2009 season as the defensive line coach of the Oakland Raiders. He also spent six seasons as the defensive line coach of the Seattle Seahawks (2003-08), when Holmgren was the team's head coach. Board, who played defensive end for the 49ers (1979-88), started his NFL coaching career in 1990.

    The Browns' recent hires indicate Carl Smith (quarterbacks coach), Matt Eberflus (linebackers coach) and Bryan Cox (defensive line coach) will not return to the team. George McDonald (wide receivers coach) has already taken another job with the Miami Hurricanes.

    The Browns will retain running backs coach Gary Brown, tight ends coach Steve Hagen, offensive line coach George Warhop and defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson, a source told Cleveland.com. A Browns spokesman could neither confirm nor deny the report Monday night.
