    You sure you want Mangini as DC? You are speaking to one who knows the Mangina. 🙄

  • something tells me that McDaniel's is just another BB potsy like Crennel.

    He might make a good QB coach.

  • Hey Ytown, where are you getting this? I just checked the PD online and unless it posted in the last 15 minutes, I'm not seeing what you're saying.

    Mary Kay did report that Pioli could be in town as soon as Tuesday but that's not EXACTLY the same thing as you're saying.

    Not that I'm complaining. Pioli has the resume and the Browns history that I think is crucial to succeeding in Cleveland. We are not just any city when it comes to football; it would be helpful to have someone who actually UNDERSTANDS the Browns and the depth of the fans' passion for them.

    I'm rooting for Schwartz as well.

    Any team with an anemic pass-rush could use's Schwartz's help. After losing both of his top rush ends last offseason, he's managed to get production out of some late-round DE's.

    Dave Ball, a former 5th Round pick, has 4.5 sacks on the season. Jacob Ford, drafted in the 6th Round of the '07 draft, has 7 sacks.

    One thing that sold me was how he managed the Pittsburgh game. Despite being without both Haynesworth & Vanden Bosch, Schwartz got 5 sacks out of his depleted squad, 3.5 of which came from rookie DE-DT Jason Jones.

    We've already got two good interior rushers in Rogers & Williams. I'm hoping Schwartz can replicate the success he's had turning Day Two DE's into sack artists.

    Who do we get as OC? Does Chud get another run at this? I would rather run a clean slate - and ship Tucker back to OSU or at least back to coaching DB's

    Tucker is unquestionably gone.

    As to Chudd, it all depends- was he handcuffed either by Crennell or Savage? Or did he get real stupid this year? Like in not letting Cribbs pass more? Inquiring minds want to know. It would be nice to keep some continuity on offense. It didn't help that Jamal Lewis got real slow real quick either. (another misuse of talent- JL should have been relegated to an old Jerome Bettis short yardage role). Harrison should have been used way more way sooner.

  • please god not Mckay, he is trash. Look at what he did to Atlanta and Buccaneers, he put them in cap hell and they are starting to recover now.

    Pioli is the only guy I would really want and I hope we can steal him.

  • GM - Scott Pioli

    HC - Josh McDaniels

    OC - Brian Schottenheimer

    DC - Jim Schwartz

    Exactly, I live here in Nashville so they've made people quite aware of how the guy that filled in for Haynesworth had 3.5 sacks vrs Pittsburgh on sports radio.

    Fisher also stated their BALLCONTROL running game keeps the fresh legs on his defense so another nice thing about it is Schwartz knows that better than anyone. Albert Haynesworth made himself a FREE MAN by making the Pro Bowl this year. They've also shared that with the local radio. TN knows they have to win now. Can you imagine Rogers playing next to Haynesworth? One would thing his DC might have some influence with coming to Cleveland.

    The BEST thing about Schwartz is it probably means we divorce this limp wristed 3-4. HATED it!!!!

    Randy Lerner has told the Cleveland media that he wants Pioli. The only other person that he would want to interview would be McKay from Atlanta.

    Basically it's Pioli's job and he can name his price. That has been confirmed by Grossi, Mary Kay, Zach Jackson and Andre Knott.

    What is interesting is Cleveland has yet to ask the Giants for permission to interview Spagnoula. They have asked the Titans permission to interview Schwartz during the bye week. Schwartz has said that he wants the job. He has a good relationship with Pioli. They were scouts here under Belichick.

    Pioli is close friends with Mark Shapiro of the Indians and Mangini is married to Shapiro's daughter. I also think he would like to steal Josh McDaniel out of New England but the only way may be as the HC. I believe that Mangini would come here as DC/Asst. HC.

    So, I don't expect that Pioili will interview any more then those three.

    @ytownbrownsbacker said:

    ............and Mangini is married to Shapiro's daughter......

    Shapiro's sisiter. Small correction, but an important one.

  • I think Mangini is the next Belichick, as in he'll have more success at stop #2, although not quite as successful and Bill, but successful.

    Mangini was sunk by a 40-year old turnover machine in Favre. 3 INT's in the 'Phin's game was terrible. The Raven's Harbaugh said yesterday, they got 11 wins by protecting the ball. "You can't win in this league with frequent turnovers". He's right, as everyone knows.

    My only hesitation with McDaniels is his age. 32 is pretty young. You have to be pretty gifted to be successful at that age in the NFL. HC in the NFL is a heck of a grind and takes some maturity and fortitude. Maybe he has it in him.

  • Schwartz would be bettre than some NE reject

    :neutral_face:

  • Here's what Mangini said when his Jets faced the Titans a few years ago:

    "I know Jim Schwartz from my time in Baltimore. I was the offensive assistant when he was the defensive assistant. I know how hard he works, and he’s an innovative guy. He’ll figure out a way to maximize the defense’s potential. That’s what he does year in and year out. Personally knowing him, I know that it’s going to be quite a challenge."

  • I'm surprised Spagnoulo isn't getting more love. He gameplanned the Giants to the Super Bowl and had more to do with that victory than anyone. Then he lost two key pieces to his D and has motivated them to continue to thrive.

    That being said, I also like Schwartz.

    CHANGE IS GOOD

    I really hope not..anyone but chud..chud sucks im really hoping pioli takes the job brings mcdaniels and puts the axe to all those less than mediocre assistants(which is most of them) that lerners Retarded arse wont fire ,those bums were well over half of crennels problem..

    If they have to have a fire put under their feet to do their job and then still fail they shouldnt be in that line of work i really dont want to see crennel as the new DC either...

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

    Alo, like Belichick's guys, how do we know that the performance isn't a result of the head coach - Fisher has basically been there forever. Too bad we can't just get Jeff Fisher.

    I liked the video of Spagnuola you posted the other day, but he does have limited time as a DC, compared to both Schwartz (sp) and Rex Ryan.

    I hope we get someone above Pioli who is experienced. Basically we're kicking Savage out (because he had too much power and not enough knowhow being a rookie) and replacing him with a guy who just as inexperienced and will be given the same power.
