  • The problem is that when they fire an incompetent coach, they go out an sign a more incompetent coach!!

    I don't think any of them have had another shot at another head coaching gig except Butch Davis, but that was college. That's not really the point though. If your only giving a new head coach two years to turn around an already bad team, its never gonna get better because your gonna continue to have a massive turnover of players to fit the next coaches schemes. Teams like the Steelers and Ravens can just insert a young first year head coach and win because they have a core franchise plan that they follow and they get a coach that believes in that plan. So they don't have the turnover in players, they stick to their belief's and find coaches with the same belief's.

    yeah but those owners want to win. they weren't just given a team by birthright, decided they couldn't do anything right themselves, hire some fat floozy who had one foot out the door already and let them have free reign to hire family and friends.

    no. they have everything invested in their team and WANT to win and they've been there forever.

    so you think that lerner hiring holmgren was a good move?

    Since Lerner doesn't have a core belief or even a clue about football, I'm gonna say yes. Holmgren has very stong belief's in what he want's and has put people in place to execute them. Whether the plan will be successful will have to wait and see, but atleast there is a plan and everybody in the organization know's what he want's and is on the same page.

    hated the Holmgren hire he was a great coach and a terrible GM.. Told my buddies when he hired Pat, " this is the hire that gets Holmgren fired."

    what's the timetable when we as fans or those that have executive power can decide whether or not his plan has worked? we give one guy a five year plan but pull him two. another a five year plan and pull him three.

    what side of the browns' fan fence gets to decide on whether or not not to give one guy an extra year as oppossed to the other guy getting only one?

    what you guys wear bright orange pants or something?

  • I think the bigger problem is an understanding of what you want your team to be, and that starts with Lerner. You gotta have a understanding of what kind of system you want to run, what kind of players you want, etc. And you have to stick to that as an organization. You can't continue to change your philosophy as a whole with every change in the organization. Once you have a strong hold on implementing what you want and you feel you should be much better than what you are, then you look into a coaching change. But if there is a coaching change you have to look for coaches that share your philosophy. You can't be completely starting over with every change, you find the guy you think can execute your organizational plan better, not implement his own.

  • I for one was like a lot of people, not wanting to fire EM. We we fired EM our special teams coach also left. He now is in San Fran doing wonders over there. I have did not understand the Shurmer hire, a part of me thinks he is just here for a year to put the system in, and then Holgrem will bring in the head coach he wanted along. With the lock out there was nobody he wanted. Just what a part of me thinks..

    As for Holgrem, yes I do support Mike. Has he made mistake sure..Not signing Vickers, and maybe Shurmer. The whole signing free agents and drafting Jones blah,blah,blah...

    1. you have to have free agents that want to come here.

    2. looks like Mike and our front office was looking to upgrade our defense in there first two drafts, thats the way they went. Fine with me.

    Everybody wants Colt to get benched, you can not blame him for today!!! We have A LOT MORE ISSUES THAN COLT ON OFFENSE...Again not a Colt fan do not like him at all, but that kid got killed today....

    The one thing I do not understand, is that when your team does not have the talent on offense, why do you kee[p doing the samething..This year is not a extended 16 games of pre-season..You play to win. Do I believe the players our out there to win..Some Sure I do..

    Dear Shurmer,

    When you are down to your 4th and 5th running backs that are small and quick, you get these guys out in space!!!! you ran two screen passes in this game. what happen?? They both went for 15 yrds each! Aslo Mr. Shurmer, if you do not take chances down the field the Defense will put all 11 defenders 10-12 yrds from the LOS, this will get you QB killed, ask Colt the man will be feeling today forthe next couple of days.

    Shurmer need figure it out quick please, I do not want to be a Goolie or a Rich...

    It's hilarious. All of this.

    Fire him now, hire someone else and install a new system. By OTA's next year we should be good.

    We'd be as far along in the new system for next week than we are in this bastardized WCO we're running now.

    so, what's the solution then mike? let's just roll with this?

    it's like rolling off the used car lot with the guys smiling at you and waving and your tire is about to fall off. just keep driving?

  • FYI if they fired Shurmer tomorrow, and had Juron take over the rest of the yr. It would not set us back anymore than we already are. If tehy did that, that would mean they have some ready togo ASAP..

    Now I AM NOT SAYING FIRE SHURMER, but fact is if they did, it would not hurt us as much as people think

  • don't kid youselves.

    Daboll effing sucks worse than Schumur.

    Don't lift him up as an example because he won one game this year.

    atrocious.

  • The problem is that when they fire an incompetent coach, they go out an sign a more incompetent coach!!

    and here everyone, is the winning answer.

  • Fire him NOW!

    A good coach doesn't play a system, they create and call plays to get the best out of their talent. Example 3rd and 2 and we run flood routes all to the same side with not one route more than 5 yards and the ball is dropped on a quik out.

    This guy makes me sick every Sunday watching the crap he throws out on the field. I didn't even watch the whole game today I went to Myrtle Beach with the wife and when I got back I started watching the recording. Thank God I didn't waste my afternoon watching this crap! It made me sick knowing that any good high school coach would beat his ass any day of the week.

    Atleast under Mangini it was fun to watch some smash mouth football while our team was still in the game after the 1st quarter.

  • exactly.

    got the nbc football game of the sunday night and watching 2 teams that are actually motivated to play.

    a little scatback like ray rice breaking thru the steelers DLine? linebackers and OLmen punching each other. players that want to win?

    big difference from what i've seen from the browns in about 20 years.

    disgraceful.

  • Ghoolie, can the shit. Obama is going to be president for another 4 years, so shut the xxxx up already and go back to picketing soldier's funerals along with the rest of the Westboro Baptist Church.

    We're all tired of your blowhard bullshit. Just shut the xxxx up already.

  • I seriously have a feeling we're going to get news Monday that Shurmur is gone.

    nobody is saying that. wow. did the smarm just go way over your head?

    yeah it did.

    look in the rear view. sarcasm is about a mile back.

    and no, shurmur RIGHT NOW does NOT look better than daboll on his worse day.

    how about a fake field goal when you know your team is about 38 points less dangerous than your opponent, huh, mr. genious?

  • I seriously have a feeling we're going to get news Monday that Shurmur is gone.

    browns never have that kind of luck....

    fatass will stick to his guns and say pretty words to shut everyone up.

  • anyone else notice that Fouts kept stating that there are no "hot routes" in this offense to help Colt out when the blitz is coming?? how can this be?

  • Cowher.

  • I seriously have a feeling we're going to get news Monday that Shurmur is gone.

    Shurmur looks like Mangini looked a couple years ago with his hat on sideways and his hands on his sides. Looking

    like a little fat kid that just got his dinner taken away.

    The difference is that Shurmur isn't fat... he is just Retarded.

  • and now all the old "i was never in favor firing mangini" mugs come on here and say "oh i never wanted that" when they were the ones screaming for his head.

    how do you feel now, Aholes?

    daboll (even though i don't like him) today looked like a genius play-caller. mangini on espn within 30 secs of analyzing a game makes holgren AND shurmur look like nose-pickin scrubs that got lucky by association.

    c'mon geniuses, where you at? remember i got a list of all you mofos. start eatin' it.

    I hated Mangina the day they hired him and I still hate his conservative approach...you can have him
